It used to be that you could just expect to get a charger with your new phone, but Apple made sure the iPhone 18 pro and 17 does not ship with anything but the phone itself and a USB-C cable. I suppose they just want to drive down the cost per product on their end as much as possible, and assume at this point, everybody has got plenty of these little bricks lying around. However, if you’d like one dedicated to your iPhone, you need to get one separately. Apple right now has a discount going on for its USB-C type power adapter. Normally, Apple will sell this on its own for $19, but the 21% discount takes it down to just $15. That might only be saving you $4, but any money saved on something that used to be free is a good thing.
Fast and Convenient
This is a 20W USB-C charger that’s designed for efficient and convenient charging of your Apple devices. According to Apple, you’re be able to bring an iPhone 16 from nothing back up to up to 50% in about a half hour when plugged in via this USB-C charger.
As an official Apple product, you can expect it to be reliable, unlike some chargers you might find from no-name brands that could otherwise be a crapshoot. Being USB-C, it’s going to be compatible with any of the recent iPhone since Apple made the switch back with the iPhone 15 in September, 2023.
The charger is small, making it great for travel or everyday use as you bring it with you wherever you need to be. It also works nicely as just an option to have to have at home that you keep always plugged into the same high-traffic outlet. Perhaps you want a charger your keep right next to your bed. Plug this right in there so it’s always ready to go where you need it to be.
There’s not much else to say about this product. It’s a USB-C charger from Apple. You know what you are getting here when you click “Buy.”
There are lots of options from brands like UGREEN or Anker the come equipped with multiple ports or even LCD displays, but those can get pretty pricey. Some folks just want a charger that can charge their one thing and not want to spend a lot of money on it. So for cases like that, it’s hard to pass up on just $15 for the one from Apple itself.
