Can anybody tell me if it will be safe to use this Samsung charger for the new iPhone SE?

More so, will it act as a fast charger or will it not be compatible? I pre-ordered the new iPhone SE, and it seems that it doesn't come with a fast charger, and they're quite expensive where I'm from.

Thanks.

I don’t think will actually charge it any quicker. Can you not get the 18w Apple charger from eBay? There’s loads on there.

There are some but even with shipping they're not cheap, and they're unofficial, at which point I may as well spend the extra bit and get it directly from Apple.

I've used Samsung chargers like this for years with no known adverse affects. I can't really say it charges any quicker than the Apple charger, but usually I charge over night so speed isn't an issue for me.

Thanks Devin, glad to know that its at least safe to try out and use.

Well, I don't know if it's safe or not, I'm no electrician, just a bumbling jackwagon, but I haven't started a fire yet... Seriously though, it's fine. Lol.

As long as it's not a knockoff charger, you're fine. It honestly doesn't matter. Though it'll obviously be slower than the 18 Watt Apple charger.
