You can safely use your Apple 18W Power Adapter (charger) with any of your iPads and iPhones.


If purchasing a new Power Adaptor, the small difference in cost will provide greater flexibility when used with newer devices. New iPad and iPhone models benefit from USB-PD fast charging support - this being the standard supported by Apple.


If your devices have a Lightning connector, to connect them to the 18W Power Adapter (that has a USB-C connection), you’ll need a Lightning to USB-C cable - such as this:


USB-C to Lightning Cable (1m)
