Does the iPhone 11 use the same charger as the iPhone 8?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

The iPhone 11 and iPhone 8 do not use the same charger. The iPhone 8 uses a traditional USB-A charger, while the iPhone 11 uses a USB-C charger. This means that the charging port on the iPhone 8 is different from the charging port on the iPhone 11.

However, it’s important to note that the iPhone 11 does support fast charging when used with a USB-C charger. This is a significant improvement over the iPhone 8, which does not have fast charging capabilities. So, if you have a USB-C charger, you can charge your iPhone 11 much faster than with the charger that comes with the iPhone 8.

To take advantage of fast charging on the iPhone 11, you will need to purchase a USB-C adapter and a Lightning cable separately. The USB-C adapter will allow you to plug your iPhone 11 into a USB-C charger, while the Lightning cable is needed to connect your iPhone to the adapter.

It’s worth noting that while the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max come with a USB-C to Lightning cable in the box, the standard iPhone 11 does not. So, if you have the standard iPhone 11, you will need to purchase the USB-C adapter and Lightning cable separately.

The iPhone 11 and iPhone 8 do not use the same charger. The iPhone 11 supports fast charging with a USB-C charger, but you will need to purchase a USB-C adapter and Lightning cable separately to take advantage of this feature.
