My new iPhone 12 has a charging cord that is different from the previous ones I've had. The end that should plug into the device that plugs into the outlet is smaller that what I have. Can I use it anyway? or what?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
Hi, the cable is a USB-C to lightening Cable. To use the cable you either need a USB-C Power Adapter, (with this you can use fast charging) or a computer with a USB-C port. If you have a lightning cable from a older iPhone it will work with your new iPhone.

They have just started supplying the cable only with the 12 series and any from the current lineup, It is to cut down on e-waste. If you are getting a new power adapter please don’t get a unbranded one, they can be unreliable.
I got one of these USB-C female to USB-A male adapters
Thanks very much, Scottie-from-idle. It never occurred to me that Appple would send me home after spending almost $1,400 without something that was vital!! Thanks for your help.
Thanks again, Scottie.
How to use the charging cord for my iPhone 12? It's too small to fit into the plug that goes into the wall.
