Chargers watts

I just upgraded to an SE third generation, 256 gb. I’m waiting for it to be shipped. I read the specs but I can’t make heads or tails of it. I read online that you can use up to 30 watts, but what size comes in the box? I’m also thinking of upgrading my iPad to either a 9th or 10th generation. Can anyone tell me what size charger comes with them? Also, will the bigger charger charge the first generation pencil, or should I charge it with the 12 watt? Thanks for any info you can give me.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

iPads come with a 20 W power source. iPhones have not come with power sources for several years.


You already have probably a dozen or more USB power sources, and cables, all of which can be used to charge your new phone. See this Apple support article→About Apple USB power adapters for information on power sources for charging your Apple device.


Quoting that article:


As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone models no longer include a power adapter in the box. iPhone continues to work with existing power adapters and USB-A to Lightning cables, such as those included in prior models. iPhone models now include in the box a newer USB‑C to Lightning cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports that you might already have. You can use either a USB-A to Lightning cable or the newer USB-C to Lightning cable with your iPhone.


Fortunately, in addition to Apple many other technology companies have made the right environment move of not overloading the world with billions of redundant accessories that will eventually end up in landfills or poison the environment or the people who ultimately end up having to disassemble the devices that contain toxic components. Samsung and several other vendors also no longer include power sources with their phones and tablets.
