1. Apple 20W power adapter – Editor’s choice
What’s the best charger for your iPhone besides the one from Apple? While the talk of Apple’s decision to remove the charger for environment conservation is argumentative, there’s no doubt that getting Apple’s adapter is a wise option. Enjoy fast and efficient charging at home, work, or on the go with this original Apple power adapter. The charger is compatible with all iPhones and iPads that support fast charging (iPhone 8 and later). I love how compact and lightweight it is to carry around. Thanks to the measures taken by Apple, all the people out there with safety concerns can relax – this charger won’t cause any harm. While some may not be happy with the price, I’d say that’s not bad for the trust and safety it offers.

2. Anker Nano 20W charger – Cute and compact
While life may or may not be colorful, your charger can be. The Anker Nano 20W charger is quite a beauty, thanks to the different colors that it comes in. It can deliver a maximum output of 20W despite its small size without any thermals. (See? Size doesn’t matter, after all😉) The dinky size means it’ll save space in your bag and serve as the perfect travel companion. Among the variety of color options, my favorites are lavender and mint green. And above all, it comes with an 18-month warranty and friendly customer service from Anker.
