Bit confused but do I just need to get another one like the standard iPhone 7 one or is it the watch one that I need

my current iPhone 7 one is 4 years old and has been giving me problems where the USB bit wobbles abit

due to Apple going eco friendly on us
I’m having to go and purchase a plug aswell as a iPhone 12 🤦🏻‍♀️

they should of just put a voucher in the box so we could all get a new one if we needed it, they didn’t think about us lot with phones that have been with us for 4 years 🤪

Oh Apple, ... 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

You should be able to use the same charger for your iPhone 7 for iPhone 12 or iPhone Pro. However, it'll charger more slowly. If you use the USB-C to lightning cable that Apple is including with the iPhone 12, you'll need a power block that is USB-C instead of USB-A (the old USB style). If you get one from Apple you'll be able to charge to 50% in just 30 minutes. I myself am a big fan of Anker, so I just bought this yesterday. Looks like they have 20% off today 😩. It looks smaller than the Apple power adapter.

Thanks hun thanks for that I was totally confused by what I had to buy but I love the idea of that 50% charge on 30mins

I’m just gonna get one from Apple I think, you just can’t be sure what’s genuine and not these days to many fakes on the market!

You really don't need to pay the higher prices to Apple for a solid reliable wall charger. Check out RAVPower GAN products. They are fantastic.

All the old iPhone chargers will charge the iPhone 12 fine and they won't charge any slower than they ever did. The iPhone 12 can be charged faster with a 20 watt USB-C charger or it can charge at the rate you're used to, using a little 5 watt or 12 watt USB A charger

There actually more then the Apple one lol 😂

it’s £19 free del 20w if it was more like I assumed it might be say £30 I’d of looked at a lower priced one but I think the price is pretty reasonable with Apple

Yeah that comes in handy knowing that

but since I’ve heard about the fast charger it just makes me want it

Less electric you could save I know I leave my iPhone all night on the charger at times sometimes it’s on even longer 🤦🏻‍♀️ Lol
