can high voltage damage your iphone 6s?

It is an electronic device, so yes, high voltage can do all sorts of unpredictable damage to an iPhone or any electronic device. Impossible to specify what extent of the damage would be, but likely everything would be fried.

the ios devices charge by 5volts DC

high voltage is >1000 AC

if one charge ios devices with much more then 5volts it will destroy it

An iPhone is designed to be charged with a USB to lightening cable. As long as the USB end is connected to a reliable device that meets USB standards for power output, the iPhone will never see anything higher than 5V.

can you tell me more about Apple chargers, what can charger do if there's a power surge or something electrical circuit, because i am new in apple 🙂 thank you

The charger is designed to work with up to 240 Volts. If connected to a much higher voltage, the charger will be destroyed, but the phone will probably survive, but you may not if you're holding the phone at the time.

It's a switching supply, and when those fail the output usually drops to zero volts. If the power surge is really high, such as over 1,000 volts, it could arc over to the output, but the difference between the two output pins could still be low, so the phone would not necessarily be damaged.

The white brick you plug into the wall is not a charger. It's simply a power supply that takes the input power from the wall socket and converts it to 5V and whatever amperage it is rated to output. The charger itself, is in the iPhone or iPad itself. These devices use lithium polymer batteries that conform to international SMART battery technology specifications and the device itself controls its own battery charging.

Absolutely not. As most phones know when to stop charging even if you high voltage. In fact, they just make your phone charge faster

NO they don't charge faster with more voltage

When traveling is Europe, do you recommend taking an actual converter or a power surge protector for variances in voltage? Will the cube simply take care of it all?

All you need when traveling is a plug adapter. The power supply itself is automatic universal voltage capable.

If you're going somewhere with iffy power (say a country or region where power is primarily from local diesel generators or just has a poor electrical grid infrastructure) you may want a surge protector primarily so you don't fry your power supply itself.

No the acceptable range is I00 to 240 volts, which includes everywhere in the world.

I am going on a river cruise in Europe. I can only assume their electricity comes from a generator. Is this a concern?

Most modern ships usually have well regulated power since they know their customers are going to have all sorts of electronics from tooth brushes to gadgets and laptops. Not to mention all their own sat NAV and comms, and electronic ship and equipment controls also neeed clean power. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, like if you were to connect to an electric car charger or something.

Otherwise, if you used the wrong charger, it would either charge safely or the power surge in iphone will not charge if it detects too high or too low voltage.

Very few chargers come with Lightning cables, so they cant be connected to an iPhone or iPad.
