Detailed overview: Apple 20W USB-C power adapter (official)
The Apple 20W USB-C power adapter is Apple's official charger for fast-charging its devices. Since Apple stopped supplying a charger in the box with its iPhones, this adapter has become an almost essential accessory to make the most of recent devices' charging speed.
Its 20W USB-C Power Delivery output charges an iPhone to about 50% in 30 minutes, provided you use a suitable cable (USB-C to USB-C on iPhone 15 and newer, USB-C to Lightning on earlier models). It also suits charging the iPad, AirPods and many other USB-C devices, including outside the Apple world.
Its main asset is reliability and perfect compatibility with the Apple ecosystem: where some cheap third-party chargers can cause charging or safety issues, the official adapter guarantees optimal, safe operation. Its compact format makes it easy to slip into a bag, an excellent second charger to leave at the office, at relatives' or in a suitcase.
Understated, sturdy and no-frills, the Apple 20W USB-C adapter remains the obvious benchmark for anyone with a recent iPhone who wants a simple, fast, durable charger.
