The iPhone 14 uses a USB-C to Lightning cable for charging, which is included in the box, but it does not come with a power adapter. For fast charging, Apple recommends using a USB-C power adapter with at least 20 watts of power. This allows the iPhone 14 to charge up to about 50-60% in 30 minutes
Recommended Charger Types for iPhone 14:
- 20W USB-C Power Adapter : This is the standard for fast charging and is widely recommended. It supports the iPhone 14's fast charging capabilities efficiently
- 30W USB-C Power Adapter : Offers slightly more power and can also charge the iPhone 14 quickly. Brands like Anker or Ugreen make good options
- MagSafe Wireless Charger : Supports wireless charging up to 15W and can charge the iPhone 14 conveniently without cables, though wired charging is faster
Additional Notes:
- Older USB-A to Lightning cables and chargers can still be used but will charge slower than USB-C power adapters
- Third-party chargers with appropriate wattage (20W or more) are compatible and can be chosen based on your needs and preferences
- For charging multiple devices, multi-port GaN chargers (e.g., 65W 3-Port GaN chargers) are practical and efficient
In summary, the best charger for an iPhone 14 is a USB-C power adapter with at least 20W output paired with the included USB-C to Lightning cable for fast charging. Wireless charging via MagSafe is also supported but is slower than wired fast charging.
