Why it matters
As smartphone charging standards unify, consumers need guidance on selecting compatible, high-efficiency hardware for their mobile devices.
There was once a time when different phones required different cords, like Lightning cables for iPhone or Micro-USB for Android. But now, the majority of devices don't have special ports and just use a USB-C cable. Modern smartphones from Apple, Google, and Samsung use the Power Delivery charging standard, a fast-charging protocol for USB-C that supports higher voltage and wattage to charge phones faster. All the chargers below support USB-C PD and will work with any smartphone ecosystem, including iPhone.
