what type of charger for iphone 14

The iPhone 14 uses a USB‑C power adapter with a USB‑C to Lightning cable , and Apple recommends a 20W USB‑C charger for fast charging. Older USB‑A chargers with a USB‑A to Lightning cable still work, but they charge more slowly.

Core charger type

  • Port on the phone: Lightning port (not USB‑C on the device itself).
  • Recommended adapter: 20W USB‑C power adapter for fast charging.
  • Included in the box: USB‑C to Lightning cable only, no wall brick.

What you should buy

  • A 20W (or higher) USB‑C wall charger from Apple or a reputable third‑party brand, plus a USB‑C to Lightning cable if you do not already have one.
  • If you already own an older iPhone charger:
    • USB‑A adapter + Lightning cable will still charge, just slower and without “fast charge”.

Fast charging details

  • With a 20W USB‑C charger and USB‑C to Lightning cable, iPhone 14 can go to around 50% in about 30 minutes.
  • Higher‑wattage USB‑C adapters (like 30W) are safe; the iPhone only draws what it needs.

Wireless and MagSafe

  • iPhone 14 also supports MagSafe and standard Qi wireless chargers as optional ways to charge.
  • These are convenient but generally slower than a wired 20W USB‑C fast charge.
