USB C Cable for iPhone 15, 16 & 17 – 60W PD, 1m, Black or White

Description

A usb c cable for iphone is now simply an iPhone cable. Apple finished the switch — every iPhone sold today charges over USB-C, and the connector that defined the previous decade is gone from the lineup.

One usb c cable for iphone, every current model

The iPhone 15 was the first to make the change, the 16 and 16e followed, and the 17 continues it. The same usb c cable for iphone fits every one of them, because USB-C is a standard rather than a per-model connector. There is no generation to match and nothing to look up. Someone searching for an iphone 17 charger cable and someone replacing a lost lead for a 15 are looking at the same product, which was never true in the Lightning years.

That is a real change from how iPhone accessories used to work. For ten years the cable was the thing you had to get right. Now the only question worth asking of a usb c cable for iphone is what it can carry.

What 60W means on a usb c cable for iphone

This one is rated to 60W, and the honest answer is that your iPhone will never ask for it. Current models draw somewhere in the twenties at peak and taper from there, so a 60W usb c cable for iphone carries far more headroom than the phone can use.

The headroom is still worth having, for two reasons, and they apply equally whether this is an iphone 17 charger cable for a brand-new handset or a spare for an older one. It means the cable is never the bottleneck, whatever charger you plug it into. And it means the same lead charges an iPad Pro or a MacBook Air at a useful speed, which a cable rated only for phone duty will not.

There is a technical reason 60W is the sweet spot on price. Above 60W a USB-C cable is required to carry an electronic marker chip declaring its capability, and that chip is most of what separates a $13 cable from a $30 one. At 60W and below, no chip is needed and nothing is compromised by its absence. You are not buying a cut-down cable; you are buying the tier that covers phones and tablets completely.

Charging speed and transfer speed are different things

Worth being plain, because a lot of listings are not. This is a charging cable. Data works — you can move photos off the phone, run CarPlay, or sync to a Mac — but at standard USB 2.0 speed rather than the rates a dedicated data cable manages.

For everything most people do with a phone cable that is irrelevant. If you are shifting hours of ProRes video off an iPhone Pro regularly, that is a different cable and we stock one; the usb c charging cable for iphone you want for a bedside table or a car is this one. As an iphone 17 charger cable for everyday use, the data rate is not the number that matters.

Build

Reinforced moulding where this usb c cable for iphone meets each connector, the few centimetres that fail first on every cable ever thrown away. Black or white, so it disappears against most desks and bedside tables rather than announcing itself.

An iphone 17 charger cable that lives beside the bed and one that lives in a bag get very different treatment — worth having one of each rather than carrying a single lead between them.

Compatibility

A usb c cable for iphone fits by connector rather than by model, so this works with every iPhone Apple currently sells and a great deal else besides.

iPhone:

• iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max
• iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max and 16e
• iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max

Also charges:

• iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini and the current iPad
• AirPods Pro and AirPods Max with a USB-C case
• MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro at reduced speed — 60W is below what the larger models draw at full tilt
• Android phones and tablets with a USB-C port — Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OPPO, Xiaomi, Motorola and Nothing
• Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Steam Deck and other USB-C handhelds

On older iPhones. Any iPhone 14 or earlier has a Lightning port and takes a different cable entirely. We stock those separately — check the bottom of the phone before ordering: an oval port is Lightning, a rounded rectangle is USB-C.
