"The Apple phone is out of power and there is no charging head on it!" Can you use the top of Android? ”
I believe that this is a problem that many small partners have encountered, for this topic, many people do not care, and some people are very cautious, thinking that the charger mixing will hurt the phone.
So, Android and Apple mobile phone chargers, in the end, can not be shared? Today we will talk about this problem.
First of all, we must know that there are many kinds of fast charging technologies on the market now, and the charging technology and voltage and current selected by different manufacturers are different. Therefore, there is a need for an "agreed protocol" to standardize and coordinate between different mobile phones and chargers.
The charging protocol is the key to whether the mobile phone charger can be shared.
The charging protocols of mobile phone manufacturers can be divided into two categories: "private protocols" and "public protocols".
The most common private charging protocols are Huawei SCP Super Fast Charge, OPPO VOOC Super Flash Charge, VIVO FC Flash Charge, Xiaomi Mi ChargeTurbo and so on.
Because the private protocol hides the "exclusivity" gene, chargers using private protocols cannot identify other brands of devices at all. If it is mixed at will, it can usually only achieve low-power charging, which cannot reach the fast charging power of the device standard, which will easily lead to overheating of the charger and will also affect the battery life of the mobile phone.
In addition to private protocols, other public protocols represented by USB PD and Qualcomm QC are public protocols.
Now the iPhone basically supports the USB PD protocol, which is also the most widely popular fast charging protocol, and most of the new smartphones and chargers commonly found on the market support the PD protocol.
Charging the iPhone using a charging head that supports the PD protocol allows you to intelligently and dynamically adjust the charging voltage. Therefore, as long as the mobile phone and charging head support PD fast charging, no matter how much power, the charging head can be shared, but the charging efficiency depends on the power of the mobile phone and the charger.
For example, charging the iPhone 13 Pro with a GreenLink small lipstick 65W Gallium Nitride charger that supports PD fast charging can activate 27W PD fast charging and charge to 58% in half an hour; if it is switched to iPhone 11, it will drop to 18W fast charging gear, charging to 56% in half an hour.
Of course, there are also some chargers that only support the QC protocol, such chargers if you charge the iPhone, the input current will automatically be limited to 1A, charging will become very slow.
It should be noted that many mobile phones on the market support both their own private protocols and are compatible with public protocols, but only support lower voltage levels.
In this case, the use of high-power fast charging that supports the same public protocol cannot fully realize the fast charging potential of mobile phones.
For example, huawei Mate 40 Pro, which supports Huawei 66W super fast charging and is compatible with PD fast charging, can only reach the PD 40W gear at most if charged with a PD 100W charger.
Finally, it should be noted that due to the encryption of the interface of Apple's mobile phone, many Lightning charging cables on the market are not well compatible with use. Therefore, Apple's charging cable should be carefully selected, and it should use the original or pass the Apple MFi certification.
If you use a cable that has not passed MFi certification, even with a PD charging head, the phone will emit a pop-up warning to help you avoid the damage of inferior charging cables.
If you use MFi certified products, like the energy rainbow data cable of GreenLink, which can be compatible with the iOS system, the mobile phone will not appear pop-up window, and the charging will be more stable and safe.
All in all, Apple and Android phone chargers can be shared, but only if the charging protocol matches and the charging head and charging cable quality pass. Secondly, the charging power determines the efficiency of charging.
After reading the above, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of "charger mixing". For the sake of your love machine, you should still pay attention to it when charging in the future
