- 20W : daily use (one device).
- 30W : versatile (mobile + tablet/camera).
- 65W : multi-device / laptop + mobile.
- Cable: Well-built USB-C to USB-C; if you want maximum durability, choose the reinforced version.
- Qi : Wireless with better magnetic alignment and more stable speeds when supported by both the phone and charger.
USB-C and USB Power Delivery: The Essentials
The iPhone 17 uses a USB-C connector and fast charging based on USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) . In plain English: Choose a good quality USB-C charger and set the wattage based on your usage. If you already have a reliable USB-C charger, you can reuse it as long as it complies with USB-PD and has the appropriate wattage.
What power is right for me?
Power | For whom | Advantages |
---|---|---|
20W | Daily use, one charge at a time | Compact, lightweight and sufficient for a normal pace |
30W | Versatile (mobile + tablet/camera) | Excellent size/speed balance; ideal for traveling |
65W/100W | Multi-device, laptop + smartphone | One charger for everything; reduces bulk in your backpack |
Tip: If you use multiple devices, a 30W or 65W gives you headroom without adding too much weight.
The Right Cable (and Why It Matters)
I prefer USB-C to USB-C with good construction. For maximum durability, a reinforced or braided cable. In addition to aesthetics, a good cable reduces heat and maintains stable charging speeds.
Qi2 in two minutes
Qi2 is an evolution of wireless charging that improves magnetic alignment and power stability . To take advantage of it, your iPhone and charger/stand must support Qi2. If you're looking for convenience (on a desk, nightstand, or car), it's worth considering Qi2-ready accessories.
