Practically speaking, NO.


Depending on the exact model, MacBook Pro needs a minimum about 65 Watts from a USB-C power delivery capable charger, closer to 100 Watts for the 16-in models, and a genuine Apple 140 Watts power adapter for fast charging.


iPhone charger is too low, and Apple advises Not to use a power adapter that is smaller than the one they issued.
