In September 2019, Apple sent fans into a frenzy when announcing fast charging at 18W for its new iPhones. Apple's top-of-the-range iPhone 11 Pro Max was able to cut its 0-100% charging time to roughly two hours, give or take, tests showed.

Now, putting Apple to shame, Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo says its latest 125W charger can charge a 4,000 mAh battery (roughly the capacity of many new smartphones) to 41% in just five minutes.
