iPhone charger

I was told the iPhone 13 required a 20 watt charger. Will the A1385 5 watt charger still work and just be slower or is it a must to use the 20 watt charger?

iPhone 13, iOS 15

You can use the 5W power adapter and cable from an older device. Apple encourages it. See the following from Buy iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini - Apple


As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 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.
