Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter

Speed

Fast Charge in 30 Minutes

USB-C Power Delivery charges iPhone 12 and later up to 50% in approximately 30 minutes — the speed Apple quotes for its own fast-charge spec. That first half of the battery is where fast charging matters: ten minutes plugged in before leaving the house becomes hours of use. iPads and AirPods charge at their own maximum supported rate from the same adapter.

Compatibility

iPhone, iPad & Anything USB-C

Works with every iPhone from the 12 onwards — USB-C models plug straight in, Lightning models need a USB-C to Lightning cable. It also charges iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad mini, AirPods with USB-C or Lightning cases, and because USB-C PD is an open standard, Android phones and small accessories charge at their supported speed too. One adapter, whole household.

Design

Compact UK Plug

Apple’s minimal white design with a UK 3-pin plug — no travel adapter, no loose fit in British sockets. Light and small enough to live permanently in a bag or travel kit, and built to Apple’s quality and safety standards, which is precisely the area where the £5 market-stall adapters cut corners.

Right choice if you…

✔ Bought an iPhone and found no charger in the box
✔ Still charge overnight on an old 5W cube and want real speed
✔ Need a second charger for the office, bedside or travel bag
✔ Charge AirPods, iPad and iPhone from one adapter

Consider something else if…

✖ You also charge an iPad Pro or MacBook Air — the Apple 40W Advanced adapter has the headroom
✖ You charge a MacBook Pro — see the Apple 140W USB-C adapter
✖ You need a cable too — this is the adapter only

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it fast-charge my iPhone at full speed?

For iPhone 12 through standard 15/16 models, 20W delivers Apple’s quoted fast-charge speed — flat to ~50% in about 30 minutes. Pro Max models can draw slightly more with bigger adapters, but the real-world difference is minutes, not multiples.

Which cable do I need?

USB-C iPhones (15 and later) use a USB-C to USB-C cable; older models use USB-C to Lightning. The adapter is sold without a cable — the one that came with your phone works.

Is it safe to leave plugged in overnight?

Yes — the iPhone manages its own charging curve and stops drawing power when full, and the genuine adapter meets Apple’s safety standards. Overnight charging with optimised battery charging enabled is exactly the scenario Apple designs for.

Will it charge my iPad properly?

Yes — it is the same 20W adapter Apple sells for iPad. Larger iPad Pro models can accept more watts and charge somewhat faster on a 30–40W adapter, but 20W charges every iPad safely.

How do I spot a fake 20W adapter?

Weight and print quality are the giveaways — genuine adapters have crisp regulatory text, a model number (MUVT3B/A for UK) and proper weight from real transformer components. Counterfeits skimp on the safety circuitry you cannot see, which is the part that matters.
