Q: Can I use my 29 W Macbook charger with a USBC to Lightning cable to charge an iPhone 6 plus ?
Apple just launched a new cable USB C to lightning. As I have a Macbook with a 29 W charger, I was wondering if I can also use this charger, with a USB C to lightning cable to charge my iPhone 6 Plus, without any risk to damage the iPhone battery. Is there any guidance from Apple or any experience from other users ?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3

The standard item that is better for the intended purpose is a separate product such as this
(link shows discounted part, new retail part is available from Apple reseller or Apple Store)
• Apple A1265 (* ) AC USB Power (5W) for iPhones, iPod, and other (example * used)
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/A1265C/
Or see Apple Store online:
Apple 5W USB Power Adapter - Apple
The new one would be widely available (compared to the used example I'd bookmarked)
and should be appropriate to your Country or Region if different than the standard shown.
Note the specs on input and output to see how this may work where AC specs vary.
Good luck & happy computing!
