iPhone 16 Charger – Are You Ready for Lightning-Fast Charging?
Getting a good charger is wise if your iPhone often runs out of battery. These chargers will quickly power up your phone, and in this guide, we’ve picked out the best ones available in 2024. In the past, all iPhones used to come with a 5W charger. But now, even the top iPhones, like the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone SE (2022), don’t include one. Plus, if you still have an old 5W charger, it won’t charge your phone quickly. That’s where 20W chargers come in handy. iPhones also use different charging methods than many Android phones, so looking for chargers with strong PD (Power Delivery) ratings is good. We’ll soon update iPhone 16 Charger guide with the best USB-C to USB-C charging cables.
Remember that all the phones in Apple’s new iPhone 16 series including the standard iPhone, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max – use USB-C ports instead of Lightning ports. So, when choosing a charger, make sure it has USB-C connectivity.
The Best iPhone Chargers 2024
According to iPhone 16 Rumors might have faster charging, up to 35W. If this happens, the new models could charge faster than the iPhone 15 lineup. Apple won’t need to introduce new charging accessories for the new models because they already sell a 35W USB-C charger.
Apple also sells other chargers, but they deliver less Wattage.
Right now, we can expect that all iPhone 16 models will be able to charge up to 35W. But in the past, Apple has often favored its ‘Pro’ models. Previous tests showed the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max could get between 25W and 27W of power. The larger 6.7-inch model sometimes increased to 29W, but that only happened occasionally.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus could only handle up to 20W for charging. But what’s odd is that even on Apple’s website, it says that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max only support a 20W power brick and nothing more. In the same way, the iPhone 15 can handle 35W for charging. So, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will likely be able to take more power than their predecessors, but they might still charge slower than the ‘Pro’ models.
Initially, Apple introduced its 35W dual-USB-C charger for the MacBook Air lineup. However, this accessory can also charge the iPhone 16 battery. This $59 charger, currently available on Amazon, has two USB-C ports if you want to assign another iPhone simultaneously.

However, $59 is too much for a iPhone 16 charger. You can consider getting the 30W charger, which costs $35.99. The iPhone 16 is expected to be released in September, so more accessories will likely be available soon. Stay tuned for updates.
