Apple has finally added USB-C port to the iPhone 15. Last year when I was trekking, I remember how I misplaced my charger and could not contact anybody for three days because my phone had died. Nobody else around me had an iPhone charger.
But with USB-C type chargers, you will now be able to charge your iPhone anywhere, anytime, even if you do not have your own charger with you. This introduction comes after the European Union’s decision to have a uniform USB-C charging port across a number of electronic devices.
We have reviewed and curated a list of the best USB-C chargers on the market that you can buy. As Apple won’t be providing you with a charging brick, you will need to get one. So, let us have a look at the list of the best USB-C type chargers available in the market.
Best USB-C Chargers for iPhone 15
We have focused on availability, affordability, and functionalities as the main criteria for choosing the top USB-C type chargers for iPhone 15. While we would mostly be focusing on the charging brick, you can also get the USB-C cable from the same manufacturers. Just that, Apple will give you a USB-C cable along with your iPhone 15. So, unless you end up misplacing or damaging the cable, you do not need to buy it.
1. Anker Nano 30W USB-C Charger
Touted to be the smallest 30W iPhone charger on the market. The Anker Nano 30W USB-C charger weighs a measly 1.3oz (36gms). Apart from being lightweight, it has foldable prongs. This makes it even easier to carry around. It also comes in Phantom Black, Misty Blue, Natural Green, Aurora White, and Lilac Purple.

2. Official Apple iPhone charger: Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter

3. Plugable 30W USB-C GaN Charger
Plugable’s 30W USB-C type charger for iPhone 15 is easily one of the best value-for-money products on the market. With dimensions of 1.22 x 1.26 x 1.37 inches, it is only slightly bigger than its predecessor. It weighs around 45gm which isn’t that heavier than Anker Nano 30W’s 36gm charger.
Best Features

- It is small and has a foldable plug making it easier to carry.
- Comes in both white and black colors.
Price
It is priced at $19.95.
4. Anker 521 40W Charger (Nano Pro)
Despite the 40W charging capacity and the dual-ports, this charger is just a tad larger than the entries above. Measuring at a meager 1.37 x 1.34 x 1.8 inches, it packs quite a punch for its size. However, it does not come with foldable prongs.
But, this charger is ideal for households that have at least two iPhones. The dual ports can charge them both at the same time. However, each iPhone will only be charged with 20W capacity. (This is enough for fast charging through USB-C ports.)
The choice of colors for this USB-C charger is lavender, black, white, or light blue.
Best Features
- It is the best dual-port charger in the market both in terms of value for money and the 40W capacity, especially at its size.
- Can charge two devices simultaneously at 20W each.
- Is perfect for families owning multiple iPhones.
Price
Pricing details for the USA are currently unavailable as they are not available there yet at the time of publishing this article.

If you are a solo traveler, this is the perfect charger for you as it has two different types of ports. So you can charge both your iPhone 15 and iPad/Mac at the same time.
Best Features

This is the most affordable charger on the list. You can buy it in packs of 2, or 3, or a single unit.
It has a tiny size with dimensions of 1.23 x 1.25 x 1.3 inches. However, because it is not foldable, it is not as comfortable to carry as the first two entries on this list.
