Apple iPhone 3G Full Specifications & Features

Charging Speed – iPhone 3G

The iPhone 3G was powered by Apple’s proprietary 30-pin dock connector along with a separate 5V USB power adapter which came in the box. The 1150 mAh battery could easily be topped up from dead in a little over 2 hours on most occasions. It would take about an hour to get to 50% thanks to having so little battery capacity on board, at which point it would then slow down in the charging process anyway because companies try not to put fast charge speeds over highest SOC (state of change) that is deemed best for battery health.

Fast charge or wireless charging, such as now standard with modern smartphones; the iPhone 3G was not capable of doing this. We charged using only the cable and noticed USB charging from a computer port was much slower than using the wall adapter. Without power-hungry components such as high-refresh-rate screens, once the device was charged it lasted a good day in use between light and moderate.

In the grand scheme of things, even the iPhone 3G’s old-school charging speed was simply getting power into a relatively small battery; heavy users frequently running on 3G data and GPS would top up often.
