But just how much faster does it charge than, say, the iPhone 7?

Glad you asked! ‘Coz our mates at Mashable have the answer for us.

Using Apple’s charging accessories (note: a 29-watt power adapter was used), they charged up a new iPhone 8 Plus and a year-old iPhone 7.

The result?

iPhone 8 Plus

*27 percent in 15 minutes

*54 percent in 30 minutes

iPhone 7 Plus

*15 percent in 15 minutes

*29 percent in 30 minutes 

The iPhone 7 Plus charged at 1% per minute, while the 8 Plus charged at 1.8% per minute.

So by using the faster charger on the iPhone 8 Plus, the device is charged 86% faster than the iPhone 7 Plus.

They then drained the batteries of both devices down to zero to see which one could get to 100% faster.

Here’s what they found…

iPhone 8 Plus

*100 percent in 1 hour and 50 minutes

iPhone 7 Plus: 

*100 percent in 2 hour and 32 minutes
