USB C to lightning cable and USB C Charger questsions.

Last edited Sat Aug 22, 2020, 04:45 PM - Edit history (3)

Originally I asked about most powerful WIRELESS charger for Apple, and found out the answer is there isnt one other than 7.5 W.

I also found out that allegedly iPhone 12 and on there will be no jack to plug chargers into (what is that called on the phone where you plug chargers into?) that ALL from that point forward will be only wireless. That is what Anker told me.

Anyway I am told to have the fasted iPhone X or 11 charger is to have the following:


USB C to Lightning Cable
and

USB C Charger, Anker 18W PIQ 3.0 Compact Fast Charger Adapter (doesnt have to be Anker of course)

And this is all you need and the USB C to lightning cable is NOT the basic cable you get from Apple when you buy a phone? Right?

So if I have the above two items I can fast charge my iPhone with 18 W of charge. Right?

thanks

On the cable, my confusion is I bought an end table that has a fast charger in it and I use the original lightning cable that came with the phone. Is it called lightning as that is the name for the iPhone only cable as it is different from all other cables?

WHAT is the cable that comes standard with an iphone, USB C or not, or what?
