Iphone 12 charging

With the Iphone 12, Apple representative told me I needed to purchase the new charger, which I did. My question is, since it required a new charger, but the USB cord is the same, what about charging my phone from a car? And what happens to your phone if you use an older i.e. Apple Ipad charger?


iPhone 12, iOS 14

You can use Apple iPad Charger too.

You can fast charge your iPhone 8 and later up to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes.1

Fast charging works when you use an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable and one of these adapters:

  • Apple 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W, or 96W USB-C Power Adapter
  • A comparable third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)

If you're not sure which Apple Power Adapter you have, check the wattage on the top or bottom of the adapter:
