. USB-C is a connector system widely available these days, which means you'll need a plug piece that fits it. USB-C is not to be confused with USB, the much older type. USB is still found on the end of many charging cables - the bit that goes in the plug. Apple sells the fast plug, which provides 20W with a USB-C ending, on its website. There's also a 35W one which costs quite a bit more - but bear in mind that even the very latest iPhones can only take 29W at the moment, so check the maximum your device allows to make sure you're not overspending on a plug you can't get the full potential out of. You can go for any comparable USB-C power adapter, as long as it supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD). The crucial detail to take away is that standard USB charging is not fast. And it's worth noting, wireless charging isn't as fast as USB-C either. So if you want the very quickest juice up, go for USB-C to Lightning cable with the correct plug.
