Learn if using a 65W charger for your iPhone affects charging speed and safety. Understand Apple’s fast charging limits and recommendations.
Video transcript
A 65W charger can be used with an iPhone but it will not charge the device any faster than using an official Apple charger. iPhones typically support fast charging only up to 20W or 27W, depending on the model. Using a higher wattage charger won't harm the phone, as the device will regulate the amount of power it draws. To optimize performance and safety, consider using an approved charger rated for your specific iPhone model.
