For years, iPhone users have lived with “safe” but slow charging speeds. But with the iPhone 17 series, Apple has finally broken tradition. The new claim? 50% charge in just 20 minutes and “10 minutes of charging for 8 hours of video.”
But the real magic isn’t just in the speed—it’s in a protocol called AVS.
What exactly is AVS?
In the world of PD 3.2 (Power Delivery), AVS (Adjustable Voltage Supply) is a game-changer. Traditionally, chargers used fixed voltage steps (like 9V or 15V). If your device needed something in between, it had to convert that power internally, leading to energy loss and excess heat.
AVS solves this by allowing the charger to adjust voltage in fine 100mV increments. It provides the exact “sweet spot” of power your device needs, significantly reducing heat and improving efficiency.
AVS vs. PPS: Why Apple Chose AVS
You might have heard of PPS (Programmable Power Supply), which many Android brands use. While PPS is even more precise (20mV steps), it’s also more “picky.” A slight issue with a cable can cause a PPS handshake to fail.
Apple chose AVS because:
Stability: It’s more robust and less prone to “charger rejection.”
Ecosystem Unity: High-power laptops already use EPR AVS. By bringing SPR AVS to the iPhone 17, Apple is creating a unified charging standard across Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
Future-Proof Your Gear: Meet Our AVS-Ready Chargers
If you’re upgrading to the latest tech, your old “brick” won’t cut it. To get the most out of the new AVS protocol, you need a charger that speaks the language.
We are proud to recommend our latest power lineup, fully compatible with the PD 3.2 AVS protocol:
Our 45W Ultra-Compact Charger: The perfect companion for the iPhone 17 Pro. It supports the 9V-20V AVS range, ensuring your phone stays cool while hitting those peak 40W speeds.
Our 65W GaN Flagship: Designed for the power user. With full AVS support, it seamlessly switches between fast-charging your iPhone 17 and powering your MacBook Air or iPad Pro.
One charger, one protocol, zero heat issues.
The Bottom Line: Apple is finally joining the high-power era. Don’t let an outdated charger bottleneck your new device. Switch to AVS-compatible power and feel the difference.
