Charging Speed – iPhone 3GS
The iPhone 3GS required Apple’s old-school 30-pin dock connector with the supplied 5W USB power adaptor — Apple had only one charging brick for its iOS devices back then. The battery of 1219 mAh was quite modest, the charging process itself was simple but being non-fast charge meant users would need to wait for the full cycle.
It generally took 2 to 2.5 hours for the iPhone 3GS to reach a full charge from completely drained with about 60-70 minutes needed for about that first half of a total charge.

It could also be charged from a computer’s USB 2.0 port, but as expected that was significantly slower than the wall adapter and sometimes added hours to a full charge. Wireless charging was still nonexistent and rapid charging did not yet exist, which never made its way to the device like most late-2000s phones.
However, the capacity of the iPhone 3GS’s smaller battery generally meant a full charge was sufficient to get through moderate use during a day; it still struck a reasonable balance between convenience and contemporary power requirements at that time.
