Can the iPad and iPhone With USB C & Lightning Ports Charge With Any USB Cable\/Adapter?<\/h2>\n

Yes, as long as the cable is made by a reputable company that has UL certified its products, you can use any USB C cable and charger to charge your iPad or iPhone.<\/p>\n

I recommend using the Apple 20W USB C power adapter (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> to charge your iPhone and iPad. Even if you have an older iPhone or iPad, this will safely charge it as fast as possible.<\/p>\n

Buying third-party cables and chargers from unknown brands can be dangerous because their products haven’t been tested and approved as safe products.<\/p>\n

What if the charger is rated higher than what the iPad\/iPhone can handle?<\/h3>\n

One great thing about devices with USB C PD like the iPad is that it regulates the input to what is safe for the battery.<\/p>\n

The iPad will self-regulate the electricity and not let the battery get destroyed.<\/p>\n

The iPhone has the same functionality and if you use a 20W adapter like the one I link to above with a cable like this Apple USB C to Lightning cable (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> it will quickly charge your phone safely.<\/p>\n

Again, if it’s a cable or charger that hasn’t been tested and approved, this might be a problem.<\/p>\n

What do you mean by tested and approved?<\/h3>\n

A product that has been tested by Underwriters’ Laboratories, more known as UL, tests and evaluates products and its components to make sure it’s relatively safe.<\/p>\n

If approved, companies pay a small fee to print the UL mark on the product itself.<\/p>\n

If you are using a product that has not been approved by UL, your home insurance company might use it against you in case there is a fire in your home.<\/p>\n

That’s why it’s worth spending the money on a high-quality approved product.<\/p>\n

So what’s the best USB C cable and wall charger that has been “tested and approved”?<\/h3>\n

I recommend sticking to Apple’s products because then you’ll have more protection and warranty from Apple itself, which is great.<\/p>\n

For a cable, I recommend and use the Apple USB C to Lightning cable (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> to charge my iPhone, AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, and old iPad Air.<\/p>\n

For USB C, like for my latest iPad Pro I recommend the Apple USB C to USB C charge cable (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The wall charger I use and recommend for iPhone and iPad charging is the Apple 20W USB C power adapter (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are there any reputable third-party companies I can trust?<\/h3>\n

Yes, of course. You just need to buy it from a reputable store and make sure it has the UL mark.<\/p>\n

If you order chargers from different countries, the company might’ve put a fake UL mark on the product. Steer clear from these companies since they don’t have your device or you in their best interest.<\/p>\n

So you should also make sure that products that are advertised to be from Apple actually are made by Apple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

There are a lot of different USB C\/Lightning cables and wall chargers out there, but which ones are safe to use with your precious Apple-device? <\/p>\n
