iPhone SE (2020) Fast charging

[elvioms]

Hi guys,

I found a Baseus 18w charger with USB-A and I wonder if it (obviously using a USB-A to lightning cable) charges fast like an 18w charger with USB-C to lightning.

I have the USB-A to lightning cable and I didn't want to buy a charger and a new cable to get fast charging for my iPhone SE 2020.

It should. The only difference if the output power wattage is the same, is that one charger uses USB A while the other is USB C. Since you have a 2nd Gen SE, I would use the USB A charger. Later on if you buy a newer iPhone with USB C you can either buy a new charger or use a USB C to USB A cable. I keep both cables around for that reason.

I'm not sure I understand, but this article saying that USB-A has a charging speed of up to 12w, so I'm a little confused:
