Product Information

It might. While fast charging works on older iPhones with Apple's 18W USB-C charger, for whatever reason, Apple claims that you need at least a 20W charger to fast charge your iPhone 12. While 18W chargers are fast charge-capable according to Apple's support document, in that same document, Apple says that the iPhone 12 requires a 20W or better charger. There are several points to consider when working out which power adapter you need for your iPhone. Firstly, the most important rule is to make sure that you buy one with the correct USB port for your iPhone cable, as we briefly mentioned earlier. In fact, you may find that the iPhone 12 charges more slowly than your old iPhone when using USB-A. This is because the capacity of the iPhone 12 battery is bigger and therefore charging it to full requires more power. Newer iPhones feature significantly larger batteries and therefore using fast chargers over USB-C is recommended as it will charge to full faster.

Using a USB-C cable and USB-C charger will allow the iPhone to charge at faster speeds. Using USB-C, you can charge the iPhone to 50% in about half an hour. The highest wattage the iPhone 12 will use is around 22 watts, so a 20 watt or 30 watt charger will result in the about same charging speed. But basically any USB-C charger will be significantly faster than the old USB-A chargers. Can I use my existing charger and cable with iPhone 12? Earlier iPhones have Apple's proprietary Lightning charge port. This means you can use an existing Lightning cable and traditional USB-A wall adapter to charge. With the included USB-C-to-Lightning cable, though, you can also plug your iPhone directly into your Mac or another device like a lamp or light switch that has a USB-C port.

Does MagSafe Work With a Case?

Don’t just look at the price. Look at what you want to do now, and what you might want to do next year. For example, an 18W charger will fast charge your iPhone, but it’s not powerful enough to run a MacBook Pro. A more powerful one may be a better option for your future tech arsenal. Put simply, MFI Certification (Made for iPhone) is a standardised testing process that many third-party or officially licensed iPhone charging cables must go through before hitting the market, ensuring that they are safe for use. Basically, if you see this symbol on a product, you know that it has been rigorously tested ready to be plugged in for years to come. How can I spot a fake cable? No one wants to plug a dodgy cable into their brand new iPhone only to cause the device serious internal or physical damage, or even worse, lose their files. It could even be a fire hazard, and no amount of money-saving is worth torching your home.

That will also work with the iPhone 14 and its included USB-C-to-Lightning cable, if you're looking to save some cash by buying last year's model. If you already have an iPhone or iPad with a Lightning cable, though, you don't need to buy anything. Plug the power adapter you already own into the wall, plug the Lightning end into your iPhone 14, and you're ready to go. Since iPhone 8, meanwhile, Apple's smartphones have supported fast charging, which allows for a 50% charge in 30 minutes. On older iPhones, you'll need an Apple USB-C-to-Lightning cable and one of these adapters: Apple 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 35W, 61W, 67W, 87W, or 96W, or 140W USB-C Power Adapter; or a third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD). On the iPhone 15 lineup, you'll need a 20W adapter or higher for fast charging, Apple says.Wireless isn’t always as fast, but it’s more convenient. Most wireless iPhone chargers deliver 5W or 7.5W and work through most iPhone cases. It's expensive for what it is but as is always the way with Apple products, you'll grudgingly realize why. Just don't count on it coming with a power adapter or cable because, of course, it doesn't, so that’s potentially yet another expense you’ll have to factor in if you somehow don’t already have one. Still, cost aside this is one of the best iPhone chargers. What type of iPhone charger is for you? How to choose the best iPhone charger for you
