A recent report from the MacRumors site claims that Apple's iPhone 8, which the Cupertino company plans to unveil this fall, will ship with a powerful 10W USB-C wall charger suggesting fast charging capabilities of the upcoming device.
It's not the first time iPhone 8 is rumored to come with fast charging capabilities, as KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo Apple analyst said back in March that it's very possible for Apple's next flagship iPhone to feature a Lightning connector with USB-C Power Delivery for faster charging.
And now, it looks like the MacRumors site obtained a research note that Barclays recently distributed to its clients, written by analyst Blayne Curtis, where it notes the fact that the rumored iPhone 8 smartphone will come bundled with a 10W USB-C wall charger and an integrated USB-C Power Delivery chip.
"We believe that in the iPhone 8, Apple likely includes Cypress Semiconductor's USB-C Power Delivery chip in the phone and an additional chip within the power brick in box (likely a new 10W, which would use a more integrated solution with Cypress Power Delivery)," reads Barclays research note obtained by MacRumors.
Barclays' new research note suggests that Cypress Semiconductor's chip (CYPD2104) could be the same one that Apple used in the recently unveiled 10.5-inch iPad Pro tablet, which features fast charging capabilities as the Cupertino company revealed during its keynote speech at the WWDC 2017 event on June 5.
In related news, a recent discovery from within the iOS 11 mobile operating system, which will power Apple's next flagship iPhone device, suggest that wireless charging functionality may be implemented in the so-called "iPhone 8" smartphone.
