"Adaptive Fast Charging" and "Turbo Charging" are marketing terms made up by the marketing departments at Samsung and Motorola. The only thing that makes the charging faster is that the adapter is outputting current at a higher rate and the devices are now drawing the higher amount of current. There isn't anything special about these chargers at all. Almost all previous devices only drew 5V @ 1A of current and now devices are being made to draw 5V @ 2A so they charge at a faster rate. Naturally marketing wants to try and make everything sound fancy and new when it's really nothing special at all, just electrons flowing at a faster rate.
The important part is the lightning cable. Make sure it is Apple certified. Amazon sells certified ones for less than $10 for a 6 foot cable now.
