After Apple\u2019s September event and with the release of the iPhone 14 series, one question that would linger on everyone\u2019s mind is this: \u201cwill I be able to charge my iPhone 14 model with my old iPhone charger?\u201d and many other similar questions.

While the launching was great and we all drooled over the unboxing of the iPhone 14 series, unfortunately, Apple did not include chargers in any of the iPhone 14 boxes. true to it, there wasn\u2019t a glimpse of a charger mentioned during the iPhone 14 series during its launch.<\/p>\n

Here, we see a repeat of the trend Apple started with the iPhone 12 series. Also, you would recall that the iPhone 13 series did not come with a charger. According to Apple, its reason for doing this was to reduce its package waste as well as the size of the box in a bid to reduce its carbon emission.<\/p>\n

So, if you have an old charger in perfectly working condition, you may want to keep that but if you don\u2019t have any spare charger, you will need to separately order one.<\/p>\n

If you follow the trends, you will observe that the new iPhones Apple released do not come with a power adapter. However, the good thing is that they are MagSafe compatible (that is, they support Apple\u2019s magnetic wireless MagSafe charging) which is like the fastest means to get your iPhone charged. The iPhone 14 line-up comes with only a USB-C-Lightening cable without any power adapter.<\/p>\n

So, to answer one of the frequently asked questions since the launch of the iPhone 14 series: yes, you can charge your iPhone 14 model with your old charger provided you already have a previously used iPhone or iPad with a lightning cable. All you need to do is to connect your power adapter to the socket, plug the end of your lightning cable into your iPhone 14, and boom, your device is charging already.<\/p>\n

Here is what you need to know<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While the MagSafe charger is fast becoming a household name to most iPhone users, it is not new to MacBook users.<\/p>\n

It is a name Apple uses to describe the connector for its computer charging cable. The MagSafe has a magnetic tip that snaps to the magnetized portion of the MacBook charging ports and snaps out with any disturbance to prevent the MacBook from tumbling.<\/p>\n

However, Apple adopts almost the same technology in its recent iPhone models in what looks like a magnetized \u201chockey puck\u201d disc that bears semblance with a large Apple Watch charger and snaps to the back of the phone. The MagSafe connector has a USB-C cord that can be plugged into a power source and charges at 15W.<\/p>\n

Having known this, here are 3 product recommendations for chargers you can purchase for the iPhone 14 series:<\/p>\n
