Can I use a different charging cable for iPhone 14 Pro Max? Hello. I recently purchased the iPhone 14 Pro Max. I want to buy and use the "Belkin BOOST↑Charge Pro Flex USB-C Cable with Lightning Connector (1m)" charging cable approved by Apple (MFI) and sold on Apple's official site on my new phone. Will there be any harm in terms of battery / device health? I don't want to use the original cable that came out of the box for now so it doesn't wear out. Can you help me please?

You can uses either (but will obviously need a power adapter that is the same as the cable).

If you want to Fast Charge you will need a USB-C cable and 18 watt or larger power adapter. See: Fast charge your iPhone - Apple Support
