Why do iPhones charge faster than Androids?

I've recently went from a Galaxy to an iPhone, and I was surprised by how more quickly the iPhone charges. I could set my phone down at 20%, and come back half an hour later and it'd be in the high 70's, low 80's (estimate). For my Android, it would likely not be past 30%.

Sounds like your Galaxy had a bad charger, a bad battery, or a combination of the two. Mine goes from empty to completely full in about 45 minutes.

Iphones are better hardware, especially with the newer iphones that have the new charger connection, as that improved it even more.

Duh! It's the LIGHTNING connector on the iPhone! It's lightning fast!

The micro USB charger is SLOW on all other phones. So glad apple hasn't he lightning connector, I don't know why everyone complains, the lightning connectors is WONDERFUL!

  • Why Do Celebrities Use iPhones Instead of Androids? I think androids are superior to iPhones but whenever you see a celebrity like Amber Rose, Beyonce, or the Kardashians post a picture, they always have an iPhone in their hands. Does apple pay celebrities to advertise their products? I've never seen a celebrity post a picture with an android device.
  • What's the difference between androids and iphones? I have AT&T and i currently have a blackberry in January i'm getting a new phone i can't decide what droids to get or if i should get a iphone i'm not sure which one is better or what the real difference is.
  • IPad charger adapters charge iPhones faster? I've heard that it does, and that its also possibly harmful to your phone too. And kinda depends on which phone you have. So what would work for the 7 plus?
  • Does the lightning cable charge the iphone faster than 30 pin? I feel like the lightning cable is charging the iphone 5 faster than the 30 pin did with my 4S. Within 30 minutes, the iPhone 5 went from 20% to 70-80% while the 4S probably would've still been at 50-60%
