Charging USB Cable

I replaced my Apple iPhone 5 with an Apple iPhone SE. The SE came with a charging cable that has the same size connector to the iPhone as the one I use with my iPhone 5, but it has a smaller connector to the power adaptor than that used with my iPhone 5. Will it do any damage to use the charging cable from my iPhone 5 with my new iPhone SE?

You can use your old cable and power adapter. See the following from: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-se


As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone SE does not include a power adapter or EarPods. Included in the box is a USB‑C to Lightning cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports.


We encourage you to re‑use your current USB‑A to Lightning cables, power adapters, and headphones which are compatible with this iPhone. But if you need any new Apple power adapters or headphones, they are available for purchase.
