As stated in a different thread, I purchased a brand new 13" space gray MacBook Pro (mid-2017 model) without the touch bar thingy yesterday from a nearby Best Buy store. I love it! With that in mind, I notice that it charges super quickly which made me ask the question, "If Apple can make a large MacBook charge super quickly, why can't it do the same for my iPhone?" Don't get me wrong, I'm content with the speed in which my iPhone charges. Still, it's a question I'm interested in knowing the answer to. Any ideas?

Your MacBook Pro comes with a 65W power adapter whereas your iPhone X comes with a 5W power adapter. That is the problem.

You will see a big difference if you use that 65W adapter to charge your iPhone but you will need a USB-C to lightning cable to do that.

You could also buy some fast charge adapters from Amazon (24W or more) instead as well.

I should have stated in my original post that I’m aware of the differences in charging blocks. I was thinking more in terms of how fast it should charge with what it comes with it due to its size. I hope that made sense. Oh, and I did buy a USB-C to lightning cable when I bought my MBP. Im big into setting up my iPhone as new so I knew that would be the first accessory I’d buy for it.

While I haven’t measured the fast charging and it’s impact, others have and here is an article that goes in detail that might be of help:

Thank you very much. I appreciate the link...

This is me completely guessing, but maybe heat dissipation is a big play as well. MBPs have vents built in for heat dissipation whereas iPhones don't. MBPs also have fans to help with heat.

Have you tried charging your ipx on your MacBook? Mine charges super fast when connected to my mbp. I have a 2015 dongleless version though

You know, I had it connected to my MacBook Pro when I was locking it down via the Apple Configurator, but I didn’t pay attention to the battery level. I’m sure it charges fast.
