Yes. It is safe to charge your iPhone 13 with an older USB-A Lightning cable. Apple explains this in the article here.


To answer your other question, USB-C is a new USB standard that is faster than USB-A. Expect more computers and devices to use USB-C in the future as USB-A becomes older and less widely used.
