If the connectors match, and if the wattage matches or exceeds the device requirements, yes.


Local USB-C is a mix of Apple, Anker, Klein, and a few other chargers.


The iPhone 17 Pro Max in the footer uses a USB-C connector, so that is the charger and cable you’ll need for that.


Above assumes USB-C. Older iPhone and iPad use Lightning connectors, and very old gear uses a 30-pin connector.
