Watt Charging Speed vs WattCheck

How fast is your charger? Plug in your iPhone or iPad and Watt Charging Speed estimates your charging speed in watts: the power reaching your battery. Tell a fast charger from a slow one, and see whether your cable keeps up. HOW IT WORKS, HONESTLY iPhone and iPad don't let apps read the charging power from the hardware. Watt works out the charging speed from how quickly your battery percentage rises, combined with your device's battery capacity. That means: • The figure is an estimate of the watts reaching the battery. That is less than the charger's rated output: a 20 W charger usually reads below 20 W, and that is expected • iOS reports the battery level in steps, so the first reading can take up to about 10% of charging. After that, the figure follows your charge • The longer a session runs, the steadier the estimate • If Watt doesn't know your device's battery capacity, it says so and uses a typical value WHAT YOU SEE • A watt estimate while you charge • Color-coded speed labels: Fast Charging, Charging, Slow Charging and Trickle Charge • A charging ring and a graph of the session • Estimated time until fully charged • A notice when charging seems to have paused, for example with Optimized Battery Charging COMPARE CHARGERS AND CABLES • Create benchmark tests for a battery range (for example 30% → 80%) and run one with each charger or cable • Compare the results for the same range • See which charger or cable performs best CHARGING HISTORY • Sessions are saved automatically with average watts, duration and battery range • Label each session with the charger you used • Compare sessions over time to spot a slow cable or an aging charger MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE • Has the battery size of every iPhone and iPad that runs iOS 18.6: from iPhone XS to iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Duo, and from older iPads to the latest iPad Pro (M5) • On a few iPhone Pro models Watt asks once whether your iPhone has a SIM card tray, because the battery differs slightly. You can change the answer in Settings • On iPad and an open iPhone Duo, the charging ring and status stay on screen while you switch between Details and Benchmark PRIVATE, ONE PRICE • Pay once: no subscription, no ads, no account • No tracking. All data stays on your device • Works offline FEEDBACK Something looks off, or you have an idea? Tap Send Feedback in Settings or in How It Works. It opens an email with your app version, iOS version and device model filled in. GOOD TO KNOW iOS pauses apps in the background, so keep Watt Charging Speed open while it follows your charge. It keeps the screen awake during a session so nothing is interrupted. Perfect for testing a new charger, finding out why charging feels slow, or settling which of your cables belongs in the drawer.

WattCheck helps you understand which charging cables and power adapters actually perform well. Have a drawer full of USB-C and Lightning cables? Not sure which one charges fast, which one is slow, and which one may be worn out? WattCheck makes it easy to test and compare your charging setup using real-world battery charging behavior. Start a test, keep your device connected, and WattCheck estimates charging performance over 5, 10, and 20 minute windows. Save results for each cable and charger, build a personal cable ranking, and quickly spot weak or inconsistent charging gear. KEY FEATURES • Charging Performance Test Run simple charging tests and see estimated speed in % per hour and normalized watt estimates. • 5, 10 and 20 Minute Results Get quick early feedback after 5 minutes, better accuracy after 10 minutes, and stronger comparison data after 20 minutes. • Cable Ranking Save tests for different cables and automatically rank them by performance. • Best and Weakest Cable Detection WattCheck highlights your best-performing cable and helps identify cables that may be slow, weak, or degraded. • Charger Comparison Name your power adapters and compare how different chargers perform with different cables. • Test History Keep a complete history of your charging tests, including cable name, charger name, device profile, battery change, duration, estimated power, and notes. • Charts View charging progress and speed charts to better understand each test. • Device Profiles Choose your iPhone or iPad model so WattCheck can use the correct battery capacity for better estimates. • Smart Warnings WattCheck warns you when a test may be less reliable, such as when battery level is above 80%, where iOS may reduce charging speed. • CSV Export Export your test history for personal tracking, troubleshooting, or comparison. HOW IT WORKS WattCheck uses public iOS battery information to estimate charging performance based on battery level changes over time. It does not require special hardware and does not use private system APIs. For best results: • Test between 20% and 70% battery • Use the same device when comparing cables • Use the same charger when comparing cables • Keep the device temperature normal • Run longer tests for better accuracy IMPORTANT NOTE WattCheck does not directly read USB voltage, current, or USB Power Delivery data. iOS does not provide this information to regular App Store apps. WattCheck estimates real-world charging performance based on battery level changes, making it useful for comparing cables and chargers in everyday conditions. PREMIUM WattCheck Premium unlocks unlimited charging tests, full history, cable ranking, charts, charger comparison, and CSV export. Use WattCheck to clean up your cable drawer, find your best charger setup, and stop guessing which cable is slowing you down.
