Apple has been offering fast charging options since 2017's iPhone 8 but has still been shipping the devices with slow 5W chargers. Now, it seems that Apple is willing to change that with the next generation of iPhone models. According to Mac Otakara, a blog that has been consistently coming up with reliable Apple leaks, Apple might be finally ditching its 5W charger and could offer a faster 18W charger with the phones. The iPhones already support 18W fast charging and users had to purchase the charger separately from Apple. Apart from the 18W fast charging, modern iPhones support fast wireless charging as well.
The report, however, mentions that Apple may not ditch the Lightning port on its iPhones this year. Hence, the 18W charger will have a USB-C port and Apple will ship a USB-C to Lightning cable with the new iPhone models. This confirms that 2019 iPhones won't get iPad Pro's USB-C port and will have to rely on the good-old Lightning port. Apple already ships the USB-C charger and USB-C cable with the 2018 iPad Pro models, which get the USB-C port.
