Will the iPhone 7 and car charger will work for the 11 Pro?

I know I will be able to find out on my own when my new 11 Pro shows up, but I was wondering if my 7 chargers and car charger will work for the 11 Pro. I see some stuff online that says yes, but it will charge slower. That would be fine.

I know the new phone will come with a charger. And I am not asking anything about wireless chargers. I like the idea of having a backup charger at work and in my car, and was curious. Anyone know for sure?

my wife and I both have the iPhone 11 pro max and I can assure you that they will NOT charge using the car chargers I have (that previously worked for my 7 plus) ad the chargers we use have a 1.5 amp jack as well as a 2.4 amp jack (for iPads) and the phone doesn’t respond at all when plugged in

To clarify, if I use an iPhone 11 Pro USBC Cable in the USB Port in my Car, it will not charge?

Must I buy any Adapters?

I want to purchase the 11, but I want to ensure of this before I do.

Thanks for the clarification.

Cars don’t come with USB-c ports in them to use the included cable... if you can find a car charger that supports USB-c directly, that will probably work, but if you’re using the original lighting to USB cable in a standard car charger I can’t say it will work... ours don’t

Do you have USB-c ports in your car.?.. most don’t... you’ll need a car charger that supports USB-c directly and that might work...

we’re using the standard lightning to USB cable and it doesn’t work for us

I see a bunch of people have commented here, so thank you to all.

As a close of the topic, more or less, the iPhone chargers for my 7, including my car charger, all work with my 11 Pro. Verizon Wireless, Apple and my own checking assure me of that. I also did some reading online on this topic. The car charger plugs into my car lighter, so that is what it is. As for the wall chargers, they just work. Apple says they might charge a tad bit slower, but for backups, so what?!

I now have a handful of backup chargers at various locations!
