I just got my new iPhone 15Pro with USB-C and I want to know which cable (or what characteristics should have) should I get in order to be able to charge both my MacBook Pro 16" with M1 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro.

From what I've read, the maximum charging on this MBP is 100W which is not fast charge, and only the MagSafe port supports 140W for fast charge, right? So this means a 100W cable would be perfect, right?

And now the second question comes... is there any problem if I charge my iPhone 15Pro with MBP 16" charger (the one it came with in the box - 140W) and this 100W usb-c to usb-c cable? Does it affects the battery health due to the high current or something?
 
I think this Anker 765 USC C to USB C cable should work for you. it's 140W


They also have 100W cable and it's much cheaper.

You will not hurt your phone. The phone only asks for as much power as it can use. It’s not passive — the USB-C charging spec communicates how much current is requested and how much is available before charging starts.
