The launch of theiPhone 15is expected to be just hours away, and one of the details we’re almost certain of. It’s widely rumoured that all newiPhone15 models will feature a USB-C port instead of the previous Lightning connector thatApplehas used on iPhones since the iPhone 5 in 2012.
The USB-C port has many benefits for the user, not least the fact that the connection is common across almost all other phones now – as well as MacBooks and iPads. However, if you’ve previously relied on an old USB-A to Lightning cable and power adapter for your charging, you may need to make an additional purchase when you upgrade this year.
While the iPhone 15 is expected to include a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, it is highly unlikely to include the plug. So unless you have one kicking about at home already, a USB-C wall plug should also be on your list.

Apple already sells a 20W USB-C Power Adapter on its site. That’s because newer products, including the iPhone 14 came with a USB-C to Lightning cable, and the MagSafe chargers for both the iPhone and more recentApple Watchmodels also featured USB-C cables.
There is a rumour that the iPhone 15 will supportfaster than 20W charging, and in which case, there could be a new faster power adapter for iPhone coming. Or you could use the existing 35W Dual USB-C charger for extra juice. A faster charge could also require aThunderbolt 4cable, and therefore a new Thunderbolt compatible plug, though this is unlikely to be cheap.
Of course, Apple isn’t the only manufacturer of USB-C power adapters. If you want to have a few spare for charging around the house or in the office, you can buy a range of third-party 20W or higher adapters from most online retailers. The same goes for those USB-C to USB-C leads. It’s worth getting a few extra of each – I like to keep one in my work bag and a few spare at home, just in case.
Even if you use MagSafe wireless charging as your main method of charging, it’s still handy to have a faster plug-in charging option. If you’re buying a new iPhone, it’s probably worth adding a power adapter to your order – especially if the high speed version does materialise. Because when it comes to chargers, you can never have too many.
