All iPhone users need is one thing: an iPad charger.

iPad chargers can fast charge iPhones.

All users need is an Apple 12W USB Power Adapter and their usual lightening cable.

Older iPad chargers may not be powerful enough to see just how quickly iPhones can reach 100%, however.

Previous iPad chargers offer around 10Watts of power.

Whereas newer iPad chargers provide around 12Watts.

It’s more than double what iPhone owners are typically using.

The chargers Apple gives iPhone buyers channels just 5Watts of juice into the device.

The trick is even backed by Apple.

The tech company has previously assured curious fans that an iPhone won’t draw more power than it can handle.

So users don’t need to worry about their iPhone blowing up when wanting a fast charge.

This tip works for the iPhone 6 model to the iPhone 14, and all the models in between.

Tech savvy iPhone users can go a step further.

But it does involve a price jump.

Apple’s 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter can charge two devices at the same time.

It is around three times the price of the single 12Watt plug at £69.
