Why isn't my iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max using AVS?
Your charger advertises AVS support, so why isn’t AVS enabled? The devil is in the details.
Under PD 3.2, AVS must appear before PPS in the PD capabilities message. Some chargers place AVS between two PPS entries, which may prevent the phone from negotiating AVS and cause it to fall back to fixed-voltage PD.
AVS comes before all PPS entries
The order meets the requirements. The phone can negotiate an AVS profile and enable 18V fast charging.

Fixed Voltage vs Dynamic Protocols (PPS / AVS)
Standard PD and legacy protocols use Fixed PDOs (5V, 9V, 15V, 20V). PPS (Programmable Power Supply) allows devices to dynamically request micro-adjustments in 20mV steps, drastically reducing thermal losses inside the phone. The newer AVS (Adjustable Voltage Supply) in PD 3.1 enables high-voltage dynamic adjustments between 15V and 48V for high-power devices.
Why does my 100W charger only supply 15W? (PDO Mismatch)
Fast charging is about 'Voltage (V) × Current (A)', not just total wattage. If a device asks for 9V/5A (PPS) for 45W charging, but your 100W charger only supports 20V/3.25A on PPS, it can't deliver 5A. Handshaking fails, falling back to basic 9V/1.67A (15W) slow charging due to incomplete PDO profiles.
Charger and device protocol handshakes are for reference and may differ from real hardware behavior.
