Solution No: 1. Turn off your iPhone when charging

If you want to charge your iPhone faster, evidence suggests that if you turn the phone off – so it doesn’t waste energy while charging – that will shorten the charging time. If you don’t want to turn off your phone, at least put your iPhone in the “airplane mode”. That  is very simple.
1. Choose settings from the Home screen
2. Find Airplane mode
3. You will see the toggle switch next to it
4. Tap on the switch to enable or disable the mode.

Solution No: 2. Use a 12W iPad charger for your iPhone 6

The original Apple charger that comes with all the iPhones on the market is a 5V, 1A charger. However, if you use a 10W or a 12W charger (which comes with an iPad), you’ll notice that your iPhone 6 charges much faster.

Solution No: 3. Use a wall charger instead of a USB port

Your iPhone will charge faster if you plug it directly into the jack on the wall, not via the USB port. This is the official advice that comes from Apple.

Solution No: 4. Speed up USB charging

If the USB charging is your only option, there are a few ways to speed up the process. Remove all the other USB devices that are attached to the same source as your iPhone. Don’t let your computer enter into the hibernation or sleep mode during the charging period.

Solution No: 5. Power Cycle

It is recommended that you power-cycle your iPhone’s battery once a month. A power-cycle is when you let the iPhone 6 discharges completely (0%) and then charge it to full battery capacity (100%).
As you may see, these 5 ways to fix iPhone 6 slow charging issue are very simple and easy to do. Apply one of them, and the charging  will certainly be faster.
