Since the iPhone 11 was produced and released in 2019, its charging options are optimal. Also, the iPhone 11 supports the lightning port, because it can only support fast charging using the correct charger cable.
Many iPhone users got the 5W USB-A charger with the iPhone 11 but they will quickly discover that there are much faster chargers out there. Here, we will tell you how to select the chargers for the iPhone 11 and give you a list of the fast chargers, wireless chargers, and other tips to help you choose the accessories for recharging.
Fast Charging for iPhone 11: USB-C Power Adapter
It also supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) for quick charging, saving much time when charging with a correctly compatible charger. Apple recommends a 20W USB-C power adapter for fast charging, but any USB-C adaptor that supports USB-Power Delivery will do.
Fast chargers for iPhone 11 - For recommendation
Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter
The adapter specifically recommended for use by Apple in conjunction with the iPhone 11 is Apple’s Original USB-C 20W. First of all, it has a small form factor, is extremely reliable, and is optimized for fast-charging applications. When used with a USB-C to Lightning cable, this charger can take the iPhone 11 from 0% to 50% within 30 minutes, much faster than the 5W charger.
Based on USB-C adapters, there are those with higher wattage (30W or 60W)
While the iPhone 11 cannot charge beyond a 5V adapter, it supports popular 30W or 60W USB C chargers, with a maximum of 18W or 20W—the power capacity of the iPhone 11. As for an iPhone, powerful adapters also prove more convenient for their users, such as an iPad or MacBook; the latter allows one charge of the mentioned devices.
Third-Party USB-C Power Adapters
There are more and more third-party sellers who are introducing Anker, Aukey, and Belkin USB-C chargers with USB-PD that support the iPhone 11 fast charging. There is a small hitch here; always look for chargers whose output voltage is 18W up to 20W and they should be USB-PD compliant.
Wireless Charging for iPhone 11
However, the iPhone 11 adds one additional feature to the battery system: Qi wireless charging. This allows customers to charge their device by placing it on the wireless charging pad. Wireless charging is typically slower than wired charging, but it is more handy and can charge at 7.5W with Qi charging pads.

Important Notices To Choose The Right Chargers for iPhone 11
- Wattage and Compatibility: Therefore, when using fast charging, choose a charger with 18W to 20W output and USB-PD compliant. In our testing, the higher-watt models are safe but do not yield any gain in charging speed beyond the iPhone 11’s maximum of 18W to 20W.
- Safety Features: Chargers with updated security features such as overcharging, temperature control, and short-circuiting will ensure that you protect your charger and iPhone.
- Wireless Charging Performance: Wireless charging is now widely desirable by tech users because of the convenience it provides in comparison to regular wired charging methods; nevertheless, in most cases, wireless charging takes longer to charge than wired methods. For the greatest results, use a Qi-certified charger that can charge the iPhone at a rate of 7.5W.
- Portability and Design: Those who frequently need to charge their phones on the road may benefit from using foldable chargers. Larger adapters and multi-port stands are useful for both home and studio use.
Charging Tips for iPhone 11
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Avoid storing and charging the batteries at very high temperatures because it will badly affect the battery life and charging quality. First, attempt to charge your iPhone 11 in a moderate-temperature area and avoid charging outdoors or on items that easily get heated.
- Remove Thick or Metal Cases for Wireless Charging: Sometimes wireless charging can be interfered with by thick or metal cases. Therefore you should remove the case or use a wireless charging case.
- Regularly Check for Updates: Apple sometimes launches updates that optimize the battery and charging, so it is also important to keep an eye on those notifications and update whenever suggested.
For the iPhone 11, the fast charger, a USB-C power adapter of 20W combined with the USB-C to lightning cable, is the best-wired method to charge; this is because it charges the phone safely by drawing its maximum charging wattage.
