Are old chargers safe to new iPhones?

Can we use our old chargers or cables to plug our New Iphone Models like 14,15? isn’t this harmful for battery life?

is it okay or not for battery or device?

The device decides what kind of electricity it accepts so there is no harm (other than longer charging times if the charger is underpowered for that device).

But some cheap 3rd party chargers might be a fire hazard or a risk for electric shock.
