According to Game Rant's latest report, smartphone owners want their devices to charge quickly, especially if it uses high drain apps like mobile games. iPhone's slow charging could disappoint many users since some of them still play the popular game "Pokemon GO," and other new games that emerged, especially since the pandemic is still ongoing.

Mac Rumors also reported that the MagSafe Charger for iPhone 12 Mini is limited to 12W compared to the 15W limit for other iPhone 12 models.

How Apple made iPhone 12 Mini's price low

To make the iPhone 12 Mini's price as low as possible, Apple had to sacrifice some features. That's why the tech giant manufacturer gave a 12W charging limit for the device's MagSafe.

However, it is still faster compared to other wireless chargers. Some of them only have a 7.5W limit. Since the iPhone 12 models don't have a power adapter, many people question the devices' charging abilities.

Apple is not surprised since the company already assumes that there is one lying issue around the internet. New iPhone users must remember that if an Apple smartphone lacks a charging cable, that means they can get the charger as an additional purchase.
