You can use your older iPhone chargers and cable to charge an iPhone 12 or 13


BUT the cable that comes with a new iPhone uses USB C connection to the charger.

So if you do not have a USB C charger, you would need to buy one in order to use the cable that comes with the new phone.


If you want to use your old charger(s) that have a USB A connection and you don't have a USB A to lightning cable, you'd need to purchase one
