I believe so. According to this article on Apple's Support Site: "You can fast charge your iPhone 8 and later up to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes."

IMHO, I ditched my fast charger. I didn’t have the XS, and not sure if it’s model specific. But I did not like how hot my 11 felt, while charging.

My 12 Pro Max doesn't get hot at all. Not even overly warm. And that's a huge departure from all my previous iPhones that got warm or hot charging slow style. I use the Anker 30w dual port. Does it get hot to touch, or warm?

Very warm, maybe hot was extreme. But warm enough where I didn’t feel comfortable leaving it plugged in.

I have been using an Anker fast charger for 20 months on my XS, it seems fine, gets warm but not hot. 83% now don’t know if fast charging has affected it much, I know the battery percentage had dropped a lot in the first few months before I bought the Anker charger.
