My husband and I just upgraded to 16s and we both had 11s before. When I got the new phones the person at the store said I need to use USB-C to USB-C chargers and that a regular USB to USB-C wouldn’t work. We already have a bunch of usb to usb-c chargers at home because of other devices we have and I’m scared to try to use one to charge my phone because of what the man at the store said (don’t want to ruin a brand new phone). I’ve googled and looked at different forums and seem to be getting differing answers so I’m just generally confused.
I got an iPhone 16 from 13 last week and am so confused how to charge it.
The guy in the store told me to buy the plug because the cord only fit in it. The cable is too short to reach my bed side table. I tried using the cords that charge my keyboard and mouse to my Mac but they didn’t fit.
So which cable one do I buy for it?
I also bought an anker car lighter charger but I don’t know what cable to buy for it because the two slots are different sizes.
Finally, I have USB ports all over my office and kitchen and so can I use any of them to charge the 16?
So iPhone charging bricks have power rating of 20W while my MacBook Pro's power brick has power rating of 140W.
Can I use USB-C to USB-C cable to charge my iPhone using 140W MacBook Pro brick? Would it degrade/overheat my iPhone's battery?
I have read/heard that USB-C can negotiate power supply with USB-C Powerbricks. If I understand correctly, 140W brick should only provide 20W power to iPhone. Right?
