Is there a way to slow down these high power chargers? Sometimes I want a fast charge but mostly I want slow to getting hot. I realize overnight charging phones are smart enough to do this but otherwise seems to be impossible without having two different chargers.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I bet their telemetry shows that a lot of people grab a quick charge while in the shower or the like, and that 10mins is a good amount of time for that. Or put another way, past ten mins it’s just as likely the phone will be plugged in for hours or overnight and the charge speed is irrelevant.
Also, it may be to avoid overheating the phone. Otherwise you might expect to see a GAN charger where the body is a heat sink.
That being said...
I can't be the only person who consciously avoids fast-charging my phone. My whole apartment is full of wireless charging pads intentionally plugged into weak chargers (wireless charging avoids putting wear on the USB port). 60 watts can't possibly be healthy for a battery small enough to fit into a phone.

The pictures in the article are very nice and well done but I could not stop noticing the dirty yellow cable they used in some shots…
Didn't see that, but they do tend to look that way after some real-world usage.
How does one distinguish between all the tiny devils in the details between all possible chargers to have the maximum efficiency in ones iPhone charging?
Hopefully Apple releases a UK version of this adapter soon. The design looks very similar to my beloved Apple UK 20W charger [1]. I’d buy a 40-60W version in a heartbeat! [1] https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-20W-USB-C-Power-Adapter/dp/B0...
Similar design is a Ugreen Nexode 45 watt charger[0]. Folding prongs, May be ever so slightly larger. I just purchased one for an upcoming trip. 0: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Foldable-Charger-Support-Com...
I'm guessing an Apple 40-60W UK version might come in somewhere in between in size?
There's also the Anker Nano 45W, at 49 × 49 × 34 mm: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DPR2VYQF
This is very cool, I might actually get one to charge my laptop. That being said... I can't be the only person who consciously avoids fast-charging my phone.
