To charge your new iPhone 12, you have a few options available. The iPhone 12 still uses the Lightning charge port, so you can use your existing Lightning cable to connect it to a power source. You can also use a traditional USB-A power adapter, which is the standard power adapter that comes with many devices, including iPhones.
If you already have a Lightning cable and USB-A power adapter, simply plug one end of the Lightning cable into the Lightning port on your iPhone 12, and plug the other end into the USB-A port on the power adapter. Then, plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. Your iPhone 12 will start charging.
It’s worth mentioning that the iPhone 12 does support fast charging, which can significantly reduce charging times. However, to take advantage of fast charging, you’ll need to purchase a separate USB-C to Lightning cable and a USB-C power adapter. These accessories are not included with the iPhone 12.
When using a USB-C to Lightning cable and a USB-C power adapter for fast charging, you can expect faster charging speeds compared to using a traditional USB-A power adapter. This can be especially useful when you’re in a hurry and need to charge your iPhone quickly.
If you have a newer MacBook or a device with USB-C ports, you can also use a USB-C to Lightning cable to charge your iPhone 12 directly from your computer or other USB-C power sources. This can be convenient when you’re on the go and don’t have access to a wall outlet.
Charging your iPhone 12 is as simple as connecting it to a power source using a Lightning cable and a power adapter. If you want faster charging speeds, consider investing in a USB-C to Lightning cable and a USB-C power adapter. However, keep in mind that these accessories are not essential and the iPhone 12 can still be charged using the traditional Lightning cable and USB-A power adapter.
