The wattage of the power supply doesn’t matter. You could charge with a gigaWatt power supply if there was such a thing. As long as the power supply outputs a USB standard 5 volts, the iphone itself will regulated the current draw. The power supply needs to be a minimum of 20W to support fast charging, but any Apple USB power supply of 20 or more watts will work just fine.


iPhones, iPads and Mac laptops all self-regulate their own charging. They will never draw more current then they are designed to use, regardless of how much excess current a power supply could provide.
