iPhone 15 pro Charger 18w or 20w

I bought an iPhone 15 pro, now I'm trying to figure out if I should buy a new 20w charger or if I can use the one I own from my iPad Pro 11 (2019), 18w charger (A1692).


The strange thing is that I can't find anything to clarify this point,


Apple states on the site that you can use any charger greater than 20w

On another page instead mentions the 18w charger as usable, but reading deeper it brings back the 18w A1720 charger and never A1692


WHAT DO YOU THINK ? AND WHAT CAN YOU REALLY USE TO CHARGE IPHONE 15 PRO SAFELY?

You don't need an Apple charger to charge an iPhone 15 pro you need a charger with specs from the 18W on, the 20W is ok the 32W is fine the 70W is fine...If you want it to be like the Apple charger check the specs of the Apple's to yours. Your's probably European so you need to check on a European website of the country where you bought it or simply read the specs on it and check with the US one

To fast charge, you need an iPhone 15 model with a USB-C cable like the one that came in the box, or an earlier iPhone model with a USB-C to Lightning cable and one of these adapters:

  • Apple 18W,* 20W, 29W, 30W, 35W, 61W, 67W, 87W or 96W, or 140W USB-C Power Adapter

The asterisk refers to the end of the page that says that the iPhone 15 pro has been tested with a 20W while previous models with a 18W If you want to stick on it put yours in a drawer and buy a new one at least 20W
