iPhone 12 Fast charging, need official cable?

[MrMister111]

I have a 18W USB-C Apple wall charger for my iPhone 12. For it to fast charge do you also need the Apple USB-C to lightning cable or any of this type.

It’s just I have an incharge 6 max that has 3 different types at both ends. I’m wondering if this is supposed to work at fast charge speed as doesn’t seem to for me.

inCharge® 6 Max - 6in1 universal cable

With inCharge® 6 Max you have all the features of inCharge® 6 in 1.5m / 5ft of mobility. It’s the only cable you will need for home and travel. It allows to charge any portable device from any power source, even those a bit more distant! Connections Input Output Power USB-A USB-C 9V 2A / 5V 2A...

The USB-C to lightning cable is included in the box when you buy any of the iPhone 12-series. It’s generally advisable to use official cables.

It is yes, but this cable gives so much flexibility for travelling for other uses, any uses really with it having all bases covered. It was just to have 1 cable, but I didn’t realise it didn’t fast charge for those times when need fast boost.

I’ve looked on webpage and they now have a “X” model cable which seems to support fast charging.

The included cable does indeed fast-charge. I have two Apple 20W chargers. Both of which use the same Apple USB-C to lightning cable.
