Should I charge my iPhone 6 with 5V/ 2.4A or 5V/ 1A?

I'm not really sure what the difference is and which one is safe to use since looking around, I couldn't find much with 2.4A

iPhone 6, iOS 9

The 6/6S can take advantage of up to 1.6 amps if the USB adapter can supply it. Using a higher capacity adapter will not hurt the phone, but won't help either. An iPad adapter is 2.2 amps, the iPhone "cube" is 1 amp. So an iPad adapter will charge an iPhone 6 or 6S series slightly faster. Not true for the 5 and earlier, which will only use 1 amp regardless of what is available.
