It's time to stop giving Apple 's small batteries and slow charging a pass.

It feels like the iPhone 16 series has reached a point where it’s doing less with less.

Apple hasn’t upgraded its wired charging in a few years , and its small batteries feel smaller than ever.

Unfortunately for Apple , the $ 1,000 iPhone 16 Pro comes up short — almost universally.

The iPhone 16 Pro supports wired charging at a mediocre 21W or wireless MagSafe at up to 25W.

The 25W wireless charging speed is impressive if you have a compatible charger, but it falls to a pedestrian 15W with any other Qi-certified pad.

Even Google has come out to run circles around Apple ’s latest iteration of wired charging.

The iPhone 16 Pro felt like it would happily toast the skin on my hand if given the chance.

So far, the Apple Intelligence rollout is in its infancy.

It’s limited to features like a revamped Siri animation, a new set of Writing Tools , and a Clean Up feature that works like the original Magic Eraser .
