Can I use a USB C charger block with an iPhone 11?

iPhone 11: can I charge with a usb c charger block? AI says if I use a dual cable (USB C & Lightning to iPhone) it’s perfectly safe with faster charging (with highly reputable brands of chargers/cables).

But on Amazon my preferred brand (Anker) can’t confirm compatibility of iPhone 11 with USB C charger.


Which one is correct? Faster charging would be a big plus.


Thank you.

Yes, you can safely charge an iPhone 11 with a USB-C charger block. You’ll just need a USB-C to Lightning cable to connect it to the phone.


And yes, you can get faster charging this way. For the best results, use a reputable USB-C charger that supports USB Power Delivery (PD), along with a good-quality USB-C-to-Lightning cable.


So, in short, the AI information you received is correct. The fact that an Anker Amazon listing doesn't specifically mention the iPhone 11 doesn't necessarily mean it isn't compatible. Anker's USB-C chargers and USB-C-to-Lightning cables are compatible with the iPhone 11.

Which anker charger would charge both my iPad mini 2024 and my iPhone 11?

all of them really, sure if it's a 5watt it slower then if it's say 20watt


there is no upper limit in terms of watt really


Watt  is like how fast your car can drive, but the speed limit is how fast your car do drive


the iphone draw as much current as it was build to use when charging, the fact that a charger can provide a lot more just means it's not having its full capacitive used

Thank you! I’m going to Patagonia and pretty freaked out about being out in the wilderness with a dead iPhone 11. Which anker charger would charge both my iPad mini 2024 and my iPhone 11? I bought an anker nano and for some reason I could get it to charge up out of the box…also it was a bit heavy to lug around.

all help very much appreciated.

How long would it take to get a full 100% charge on an iPhone 11? Specific models would be greatly appreciated.

thank you!
