Two things:

  1. All iPhone models' "charger" is actually built into the phones themselves. Typically you would use a power adapter to supply the necessary current to these chargers.
  2. Apple offers a number of methods to supply this current. Power adapters cubes/blocks with either direct USB-C or Lightning connectors, or via a MagSafe device. Alternately, Apple used to offer a MagSafe Battery Pack, but those are now discontinued.


What you are showing us is a device that is basically a battery that would supply the current via the iPhone's USB-C port. Since only the iPhone 15 model currently has this type of port (all the older models have Lightning ports), you would need either an USB-C to Lightning adapter or one of these devices that comes already equipped with a Lightning connector.
