I just purchased the iPhone 14 Pro and I’m wondering if I can use the Apple 20-W USB-C power adapter on the iPhone 14 Pro?

You can use it with any cable but to get a faster charge rate, you need the upgraded cables.
I’ll just use the standard Apple USB-C to lightning cable. No worries.
I’m not a huge fan of fast charging because It tends to degrade the battery health.
Thanks for the information.

FYI: Keeping the battery between 20 and 80 percent, regardless of slow or fast charging, is much better for your battery's longevity (health), than slow charging per se.
It is all I have ever used on all of my iPhones. 5 watts is perfect if not in a hurry.
Yes the (USB-C to lightning) cable in the box plus the Apple 20W charger is basically the standard combination now. If you are in no hurry to charge (i.e. charging overnight) the old 5W charger with a USB-A to lightning cable will do the trick too.
I’m going to stick with the Apple 20W USB-C adapter along with the USB-C to lightning cable.
Thanks to all for the help.

I've found that the 12W USB-A charger is a good compromise for home charging. I use the 5W when I'm traveling.
Yes that worked for my wife's 13PM at a little over 20W with the stock Apple C>L cable. What is the max W Apple C>L can do, and what does a 14PM charge at max?
what cable?
I have an Anker 30w but I was going to use the official Apple cable that comes with the iPhone 14 Pro Max
Apple sells a heavy duty cable with a mesh that surround the cable. It is rated for charging devices like laptops and fast charging phones and watches. The regular stock cable that comes with your phone will not allow the wattage for fast charging.
Given equivalent loads & conditions, is a batteries performance the same from 80% to 40% as it is from 60% to 20%?
That is, will it do the same work for the same amount of time at each range?
I can't see there should be a noticeable difference. But Apple's percentage readings are quite rough, so there might be a difference in a real world scenario. I know that performance and percentages can drop radically in low temperatures, and faster so the less percentage that is left. I recommend this site if you want to learn more about batteries.
Can you post a link please otherwise there is no point me keeping the Anker 30W charger...I only have the cable that came with the 14 Pro Max.
