About Apple USB power adaptors

This overview will help you identify a USB power adaptor from Apple. Apple USB power adaptors and cables are included with many products and are also available separately from Apple and authorised Apple resellers.

Customer safety is a top priority at Apple. That’s why all of our products — including USB power adapters — undergo rigorous testing for safety and reliability and are designed to meet government safety standards around the world.

As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone models no longer include a power adaptor in the box. iPhone continues to work with existing power adaptors and USB-A to Lightning cables, such as those included in previous models. iPhone models now include in the box a newer USB‑C to Lightning cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports that you may already have. You can use either a USB-A to Lightning cable or the newer USB-C to Lightning cable with your iPhone.

You can use any of the adaptors listed below to charge your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or iPod. You can also use a Mac USB-C Power Adapter or third-party adapters that comply with applicable safety standards. For more information about charging your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or iPod, refer to the Safety, Handling and Support section of the iPhone User Guide, iPad User Guide, Apple Watch User Guide or iPod User Guide.

Learn about USB power adaptor certifications

When an iOS or iPadOS device comes with an Apple USB power adaptor, that adaptor is certified to meet government safety standards in countries and regions where the device is available. Many of these countries and regions, including the United States, have adopted the Safety of Information Technology Equipment standard, IEC/UL 60950-1 or Safety of Audio/Video, Information and Communication Technology Equipment Standard, IEC 62368-1.

Apple USB power adaptors are designed for use with power sources rated to provide 100 V AC to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz.

Original and replacement power adapters

If your device came with a power adapter, you can find that listed in the technical specifications for your iPhone or iPad, or in the list below.

If the original power adapter for your device isn’t available, you can also charge iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or iPod with “Made for iPhone” or other third-party cables and power adapters that are compliant with applicable country regulations and international and regional safety standards. Or you can use a Mac USB-C Power Adapter. Other adapters may not meet applicable safety standards, and charging with such adapters could pose a risk of death or injury. For more information about charging your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or iPod, refer to the Safety, Handling and Support section of the iPhone User Guide, iPad User Guide, Apple Watch User Guide or iPod User Guide.
