Your new iPhone 12 will have a USB-C to Lightning cable -- but no AC power adapter. Here are some great choices for adapters, if your tech drawer isn't already full of them.
Best USB-C power adapters
Apple is trying to reduce its effects on the environment by removing the power adapters from new iPhone packaging. This can lead to some confusion for users receiving a USB-C cable for the first time or those new to iPhone.
Using USB-C to charge your device comes with some benefits. The iPhone 8 and newer can fast charge when using USB-C adapters that provide 18W of power, or greater. Apple says fast charging should get you 50% battery in 30 minutes, though that varies depending on the adapter and your iPhone's battery health.
AppleInsider has gathered the ten best power adapter and charging solutions for a USB-C lifestyle. Using any of these adapters will get you fast charging, but form factor and use case will determine which is best for you.
