I don’t remember mine having a Usb-C cable but then I don’t think the cable and brick came out of the box, I’ve got wifi charging and a number of other bricks / cables so why use another one when they all do the same job.

Hi List, I invite and encourage everyone who wants to know what comes with a new iPhone, what the existing iPhone models that can be purchased new are, and what are their available accessories, to download the Apple Store app to your device. This app is very accessible and will tell you everything you want to know about available Apple products. And I promise you that information you look up yourself will stick better than something somebody feeds you. Never mind that you can count on the accuracy of info from the app. To confirm what Gordon said, the Apple Store app says the following is included in the box of a new iPhone SE purchased now: 1. The iPhone SE 2. A USB C lightning cable I can confirm that when I purchased my SE 2020 with the Apple Store app this past May, that it included the phone, a USB type A lightning cable, wired earpods, and a 5W charging brick. I can also confirm unsurprisingly, that the cost of a new SE 2020 purchased now is identical to what I paid in May.

Yeah the first batches of the SE2020 did come with the cable and brick.
However they announced at the September Apple event that they would only
come with a USB type C cable from this point forward. So people who
purchase a unit made before September could still get the charger and

All Apple portable devices since I believe the iPhone 5 have a
female lightning port for wired charging. Older charging
bricks provided by Apple had type A USB female ports which
were the same as USB ports on a standard computer. Therefore,
the cables provided by Apple with older iDevices had a USB
type A male connector at one end for plugging into the
charging brick and a lightning male connector at the other end
for plugging into the device. Fast chargers started being
introduced I believe with the iPhone 10. Instead of having a
USB type A female port, these chargers have a USB type C
female port. So, if you are purchasing a cable to charge an
iDevice with one of these fast chargers, it must have a USB C
male connector on one end and a male lightning connector on
the other end.

All Apple portable devices since I believe the iPhone 5 have a female lightning port for wired charging. Older charging bricks provided by Apple had type A USB female ports which were the same as USB ports on a standard computer.

Re: Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable
The iPhone 12 range no longer come with a charger, it has to be ordered separately. However, the iPhone 12 range come with a USB C to Lightning cable. This means that unless you have an old cable it will not work with any existing Apple charger you may have. Your old USB A to Lightning cable that came with older iPhones will work with iPhone 12 models so that way you can use other chargers you may have.

Re: Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable
Rather interestingly, I have an Anker power bank here with a USB A output and the specification of its output is: 5V⎓3A, 9V⎓2A, 12V⎓1.5A (PowerIQ 2.0) So we see it will output 9 Volts at 2 Amps which gives us 18 Watts. Now my USB power bank also outputs 9 Volts at 2 Amps again 18 Watts. Here’s the interesting part. The USB C charger will charge my iPhone from flat to 50% in half an hour. The USB A power pack charges to around 32% in the same time. So although both power packs claim 18 Watts output using a USB A to lightning cable the iPhone does not accept 18 Watts of charge but with a USB C to lightning cable it does.

Re: Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable
I think you’re mixing your Volts and Watts up. The USB A specification requires a 5 Volt output. Various developments in the USB A standard has increased the current capacity which has allowed for higher Watt output. USB C allows for higher voltages and current hence the 18 Watt charging capability of newer devices. That’s why with iPhone 12 models Apple ship a USB C to Lightning cable rather than the old USB A to Lightning cable. So if you buy an iPhone 12 the supplied cable will not fit your older Apple charger.

RE: Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable
Shirley, I don't have an Apple watch but I use three different charging bricks for my iPhone SE 2020: 1. The original Apple 5W charger that came with the SE. 2. An Anker dual USB type A charger. 3. An Anker 18W fast charger with a USB C female port. These charge at different speeds but I've got nothing but time on my hands so I'm happy with all of them. I do use the fast charger if I'm in a hurry to get the highest percentage charge most quickly before leaving the house.

Malcolm, Thanks for all the charger electrical details. I knew you would know.

Re: Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable
Thank you. This is very helpful. - Original Message - From: "Alan Lemly" To: Sent: Monday, December 14, 2020 9:11 AM Subject: Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable Hi Vicki and List, I'll let Malcolm explain any of the electrical nuances regarding iDevice chargers but it feels as if a quick overview of the connectors and cables is appropriate especially since Apple is no longer including charging bricks with new devices. All Apple portable devices since I believe the iPhone 5 have a female lightning port for wired charging. Older charging bricks provided by Apple had type A USB female ports which were the same as USB ports on a standard computer. Therefore, the cables provided by Apple with older iDevices had a USB type A male connector at one end for plugging into the charging brick and a lightning male connector at the other end for plugging into the device. Fast chargers started being introduced I believe with the iPhone 10. Instead of having a USB type A female port, these chargers have a USB type C female port. So, if you are purchasing a cable to charge an iDevice with one of these fast chargers, it must have a USB C male connector on one end and a male lightning connector on the other end. Vicki, I suspect your brick with the two charging ports contains two USB type A female ports. I have a similar charger made by anker. I don't like making assumptions when advising someone on what to purchase so you'll have to decide which charging brick works best for you before cable shopping. I personally feel having both type of cables I described above is handy. I also think having a charger or charging brick with both USB type A female and USB type C female ports is handy. Anker is a great source for all cables and chargers in my opinion but make sure you always get the MFI (made for iPhone) certified ones. Amazon has the Anker 6ft Premium Double-Braided Nylon Lightning Cable, Apple MFi Certified for iPhone Chargers, iPhone X/8/8 Plus/7/7 Plus/6/6 Plus/5s, iPad Pro Air 2, and More(Black) which is rated 4.7 stars and cost $14.99 available at this site: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Lightning-Certified-Chargers/dp/B078NR6ZK3/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1=Anker%2Blightning%2Bcable%2B6%2Bfeet=1607960953=electronics=1-10=1 I'll caution you to be careful when shopping for cables at Amazon because I'm finding that lately their worded product descriptions aren't always accurate. I've particularly noticed a tendency to say that a connector is USB type C when the picture clearly has a USB type A connector on the cable. The sighted world seems hellbent and getting their pictures right but seem to be playing fast and loose with their words. I have the above cable and have been very happy with it. I also have an Anker fast charger with a 6 foot Anker USB C to lightning cable and have been very happy with those too. Good luck.

Re: Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable
The old USB A stock Apple chargers output 5 Volts at 1 Amp giving you an output of 5 Watts. Watts equals Volts times Amps. Other chargers with a USB A output port like those made by Anker either charged at 5 Volts and 2 or 2.5 Amps. This gives 10 or 12.5 Watts. Phones older than the iPhone 8 can accept charge of 5, 10 or 12.5 Watts. >From the iPhone 8 onwards you can fast charge at 18 Watts that’s 9 Volts at 2 >Amps. Chargers that will fast charge an iPhone will have a USB C type port. >So you will need a USB C to lightning cable to go with a fast charge capable >charger. My understanding is that iPhones 12 come with a Lightning to USB C cable but no charger. Not sure about iPads. Do they still come with chargers? Power packs also have similar charging profiles and hardware as wall chargers do. Wireless charging is done at a lower power 7.5 Watts if my memory serves me right. So your 5 Watt stock charger will not even charge your phone at maximum rate when used with some wireless charging options.

Tutorial on iDevice chargers and cables was RE: searching for a cable
Hi Vicki and List, I'll let Malcolm explain any of the electrical nuances regarding iDevice chargers but it feels as if a quick overview of the connectors and cables is appropriate especially since Apple is no longer including charging bricks with new devices. All Apple portable devices since I believe the iPhone 5 have a female lightning port for wired charging. Older charging bricks provided by Apple had type A USB female ports which were the same as USB ports on a standard computer. Therefore, the cables provided by Apple with older iDevices had a USB type A male connector at one end for plugging into the charging brick and a lightning male connector at the other end for plugging into the device. Fast chargers started being introduced I believe with the iPhone 10. Instead of having a USB type A female port, these chargers have a USB type C female port. So, if you are purchasing a cable to charge an iDevice with one of these fast chargers, it must have a USB C male connector on one end and a male lightning connector on the other end. Vicki, I suspect your brick with the two charging ports contains two USB type A female ports. I have a similar charger made by anker. I don't like making assumptions when advising someone on what to purchase so you'll have to decide which charging brick works best for you before cable shopping. I personally feel having both type of cables I described above is handy. I also think having a charger or charging brick with both USB type A female and USB type C female ports is handy. Anker is a great source for all cables and chargers in my opinion but make sure you always get the MFI (made for iPhone) certified ones. Amazon has the Anker 6ft Premium Double-Braided Nylon Lightning Cable, Apple MFi Certified for iPhone Chargers, iPhone X/8/8 Plus/7/7 Plus/6/6 Plus/5s, iPad Pro Air 2, and More(Black) which is rated 4.7 stars and cost $14.99 available at this site: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Lightning-Certified-Chargers/dp/B078NR6ZK3/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1=Anker%2Blightning%2Bcable%2B6%2Bfeet=1607960953=electronics=1-10=1 I'll caution you to be careful when shopping for cables at Amazon because I'm finding that lately their worded product descriptions aren't always accurate. I've particularly noticed a tendency to say that a connector is USB type C when the picture clearly has a USB type A connector on the cable. The sighted world seems hellbent and getting their pictures right but seem to be playing fast and loose with their words. I have the above cable and have been very happy with it. I also have an Anker fast charger with a 6 foot Anker USB C to lightning cable and have been very happy with those too. Good luck.

iDevice chargers
Hello list I notice that the charger of the iPhone 5S looks exactly like that of the 4S while the charger of the new iPad mini looks like the charger of the iPhone 3GS and the first iPad. I am just curious whether these chargers are interchangeable because I remember something about the iPhone 3gS charger should not be used to charge the iPad 1.

RE: iDevice chargers
Hi Fanus, Here is some basic physics: Devices draw a certain current which is measured in Amps. Adapters are rated to operate at a certain power (Watts) and deliver a certain voltage (Volts). The calculation goes like this: Power (W) = Current (Amps) times Voltage (V). So, if you had Apple's full-size universal adapter which is rated to operate at 12 Watts maximum and to deliver 5 Volts DC (direct current), you can now take the amount of current iDevices use and figure out the values. The iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad Mini all draw 1 Amp. The adapter delivers 5 Volts hence 1 Amp times 5 Volts = 5 Watts. The full-size iPad draws 2.4 Amps hence 2.4 times 5 Volts = 12 Watts. This means you can use the adapter from a full-size iPad to charge an iPhone or iPad Mini, it will simply use only 5 Watts of the 12 Watts the adapter is capable of. You can also use a 5 Watt adapter to charge the full size iPad, but it will charge very slowly. It is, however, not unsafe to do that. Here is a link to the Apple Store where a number of charging devices and adapters are listed. these also include 30-Pin to Lightning, Battery Cases and so on, but the 3 primary chargers Apple sells are on that page: The 12 Watt adapter which is the one which comes with any full-size iPad and which is compatible also with iPhones, iPad Mini and iPod Touch The 5 Watt adapter which comes with any iPhone 5S, 5C, 5, 4S and 4, iPad Mini and iPod Touch (not recommended for full-size iPad) Lastly, the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit includes a 12 Watt adapter, a 30-pin to USB cable, and a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world. Interestingly enough Apple has not yet released a World Travel Adapter Kit with a USB to Lightning Cable, this way people who buy the kit and are now fully invested in newer devices with Lightning ports and who want an extra Lightning cable get a useless 30 Pin cable and have to buy another cable separately. I guess we know why Apple has now 158 Billion Dollars in cash! Here is the link to that page: http://store.apple.com/ca/iphone/iphone-accessories/power?f=iphone5sfh=35f9 %2B3ea8#!
