If you have a computer or power adapter from another device (e.g., iPad, Mac, etc) that has a USB-C connection, you can use that.

If you have both the cable and the power adapter from an older iPhone or iPad, you can use that.


If you need to buy a new power adapter that will work with then new cable that came with the iPhone 12, see: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHJA3AM/A/20w-usb-c-power-adapter

As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini do 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 these iPhone models. But if you need any new Apple power adapters or headphones, they are available for purchase.
