Apple doesn't include a charger in the iPhone 18 box, only a USB-C cable. So what charger does the iPhone 18 Pro need? Here's a simple guide to charging it fast, plus the chargers we recommend at Tech Street.
iPhone 18 Pro Charging Speed: The Basics
- Wired (USB-C): Apple says the iPhone 18 Pro can charge from 0 to about 50% in around 15 minutes with a high-power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 with Adjustable Voltage Supply.
- Any USB-C PD charger of 20W or more will still fast-charge it, just a little slower than Apple's top quoted speed.
- Wireless: MagSafe and Qi2 chargers work too. Apple quotes about 50% in 30 minutes with its MagSafe Charger on a powerful adapter.
- Cable: use a good-quality USB-C to USB-C cable.

FAQ
Can I use my old iPhone charger with iPhone 18?
Yes, if it's a USB-C charger. Older 5W USB-A cubes will charge very slowly, so we recommend a USB-C PD charger of at least 20W.
Is a higher-watt charger safe for iPhone 18?
Yes. iPhone only draws the power it needs, so a 100W or 140W USB-C charger is safe and lets you charge a laptop with the same charger.
Does iPhone 18 support MagSafe and Qi2?
Yes. You can charge wirelessly with MagSafe chargers and Qi2 chargers or power banks.
