Charging adapter for iPhone 17

[Mac2019]

Which is the best adapter for safe charging of iPhone 17? I’m not interested in fast charging as it makes the phone so hot and clearly isn’t good for it. I’m not in such a rush I need super fast. Is 10/15w ok?

I'd go with a good-quality 20W USB-C charger from Apple or a reputable brand like Anker or UGREEN. The iPhone will only draw the power it needs, so using a 20W adapter doesn't mean it's always charging at full speed. If you prefer slower charging, a 10–15W charger is also perfectly fine, especially for overnight charging, and may keep temperatures a bit lower. The important thing is using a reliable, certified charger rather than focusing only on the wattage.

20 watt Apple charger and MagSafe 2 charging.

My 17 pro max does not heat up.

I agree that 20W feels like the sweet spot. I am also enjoying the MagSafe 2 chargers that will go up to 25W for overnight charging.

Bought this one and used for the first time today. 20 mins it added 36% which is quick but the adapter was absolutely boiling and phone was hot. Doesn’t feel right to me. Going back to a 5w from apple, me thinks.

you care too much about heat.

Electrical items that are boiling to touch concern me somewhat. Rather dangerous, no?

I have several Anker 20w chargers and none get more than lukewarm. Yours is defective - return for refund or exchange.
