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. While the MagSafe charger was designed to work with the iPhone 12 and above, it's technically compatible with older phones that support wireless charging, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case (see officially compatible models below).

It doesn't really matter which wattage you go for since they all work, just at different speeds. Apple iPhone 8 and above also support Qi wireless charging, which charges those iPhones at 7.5W via a supported wireless charging pad. To get even faster wireless charging speeds than a Qi charger, the Apple-branded MagSafe charging system will power up your phone at 15W.

Apple defines its restrictions on harmful substances, including definitions for what Apple considers to be “free of,” in the Apple Regulated Substances Specification. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates with the exception of AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords), and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement.

If you have a USB-C to USB-C cable or Lightning to USB-C cable, you'll need a USB-C power adapter. If you buy a 30-Pin to USB-A or Lightning to USB-A cable, you'll need a USB-A power adapter. If you have a non-MagSafe case without the magnet, you should be able to charge it with the MagSafe charger as it's Qi wireless compatible, but it won't snap on to the case.All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/uk/batteries and apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information. Plus, the magnetic snap of MagSafe ensures your phone is actually charging, unlike a Qi charger which can slip out of place, leaving you scrambling for power at the last second. With iPhone 15 models, you may have turned on 80% Limit, which stops your iPhone from charging past around 80 per cent. If you want your iPhone to charge past 80 per cent, you can either turn on Optimised Battery Charging or turn off charging optimisations. With the switch to USB-C on the iPhone 15, Apple's newest smartphone comes with a USB-C Charge Cable, and that's pretty much it. The iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone SE all come with a USB-C-to-Lightning cable. So out of the box, those who don't have any Apple power adapters will need a USB-C power adapter to charge. FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime‑enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi‑Fi connection. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.

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 cableand 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. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Mobile data charges may apply. recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, representing 98% of the rare earth elements in the device For years, Apple used the term MagSafe to describe its computers' charging cable connectors. Their magnetized tips “snapped” into the magnetized MacBook charging ports—and snapped out if disturbed so as not to bring a Mac laptop crashing to the floor, for example. They disappeared a few years ago as Apple transitioned the MacBook lineup to USB-C charging and data transfer, but returned in the M1 Pro/M1 Max-based MacBooks as "MagSafe 3."

Additional points to consider include the wattage of the power adapter you buy. The higher the number, the faster your device will charge, but note that the adapter will also be larger.
