Does the Iphone 13 come with a USB C cable or USB A? If it uses USB A, will using a USB C harm the phone?

Hi! I got an iPhone 14 pro a few days ago. It came with a USB-C > lightning cable but obviously no plug. All of my previous iPhones have come with a USB-A > lightning cable, so all of my plugs have a USB-A port. So far, I’ve been charging my 14 pro with my old plugs and cables. I’m using an Apple 10W plug (which came with my iPad mini 2).
My question is, does this matter? I’ve only had to charge the phone twice so far and it seemed to charge pretty quickly. Should I spend £40 on a new plug with a USB-C port so I can use the new cable that came with this phone, or is it ok (battery health-wise) to keep using the old hardware? Is it just a matter of speed, or is this set-up going to be bad for my phone?
I guess what I'm really getting to is whether or not swapping to UsbC is worth it if I'm purchasing from Anker for example. Will there be a significant increase in charging speed?
I've heard that the Apple branded UsbC cables charge significantly faster, but I find them too expensive.
