What does the community recommend 20w or 30w charger?
Whether you use a 20w or 30w charger will make no difference as the phone regulates the charge. A more powerful charger will provide no benefit whatsoever. But it also won't hurt the phone either, so if you already have a 30w charger, use it. Just don't buy a 30w charger with the hope it will be better, because it won't be better.
But that doesn't mean that the phone charges at a 27 watt rate, now does it? You don't seem to understand that the "charger" is in the phone. The phone regulates the charge rate.
So, what "people" are telling you is not correct.
So if im understanding correctly then by “charger” you are referring to the little box you plug into the wall and that should be 20w min and higher than that won’t make a difference? Also, I’m wondering about the cord. Is that supposed to have certain specs? (14plus) and finally, does it matter what type or strength or quality the charger or cord is when it comes to long term battery health? And does the length of the cord affect anything? Sorry if I sound dumb but I’ve always wondered about these things
Thank you lobsterghost1!
So when does fast charging enable? Just whenever you use a 20 watt power source, or does the iPhone determine the time?
And just to avoid any confusion, by “chargers” you do mean the wall adapters that you plug into an outlet…?
Yes, by charger, I mean the wall plug you use. And you don't need to do anything to enable fast charging. If you supply the power, the phone uses it appropriately.
Went to bed, so didn't see this till now. I guess if you give something a fancy name, it will sell better!
I'm glad my user tip on buying used devices is helpful.
20w
Lol! I’ll have to!
I can’t use MagSafe (which is wireless charging, I’m assuming,) unfortunately. For one, I’ve been told wireless charging decreases the Maximum Capacity, so that subconsciously weakens my faith in it 😌, plus I have a piece of metal stuck to the back of my iPhone cover, to use with a magnet when driving.
Come to think of it, I could slip the cover off…
Dollarama power adaptors can not only be under-peforming “wattage-wise” and possibly cause difficult-to-diagnose issues related to their electronic “noise” …
… but they can also be downright electrically dangerous and fire hazards.

Watt=Amps multiplied by volts. So you have a 10.5 watt charger
so community your telling me it make no difference between 20w and 30w, It only takes a 20w to enable fast charging.
Yes. That’s correct.
yes that would be a 10.5 watt charger.
I have a 20w charger and also a 30w charger. I'm mainly charging on the 20w charger.
Thanks so much! The formulas from science class are coming back now. I wish I had all three, though!
Thank you, I really appreciate you.
No, I would guess (and now we know it’s true) it’s not 20 Watts either; it’s a $3 Dollarama adapter. 😊
