iPhone 15, 16, and 17 use USB-C; iPhone 12, 13, and 14 use Lightning. The two connectors are physically incompatible, so the cable and charger you need depends entirely on which iPhone you own. A genuine Apple 20W USB-C charger costs PKR 3,800–5,700 at AvaNext depending on plug type, while Lightning-based charging setups use the same wattage range with a different cable.
Quick answer for iPhone buyers
Check your port: a wide, symmetrical oval port is USB-C (iPhone 15/16/17); a smaller, slightly tapered port is Lightning (iPhone 12/13/14). Buy the matching cable — chargers themselves work across both once you have the right cable. Browse Apple 20W USB-C Fast Charger and the full Chargers collection.
FAQs
Can one charger work for both USB-C and Lightning iPhones? Yes — the wall adapter is the same; only the cable end that plugs into the phone differs.

Original vs Fake — What to Check
- Connector fit: Genuine Apple connectors sit flush and snug; fakes wobble or feel loose.
- Model number: Genuine 20W adapters print A2305 (2-pin) or A2705 (3-pin) — see our serial number verification guide.
- Price red flag: Anything under PKR 1,000 claiming to be a genuine Apple charger is fake.
- Cable build: Original USB-C and Lightning cables use braided or reinforced insulation that resists fraying; fakes crack within weeks.
Why the Wrong Cable Is a Real Risk in Pakistan
Using a mismatched or counterfeit cable in Pakistan's heat (35–40°C in Karachi and Lahore during summer) increases the chance of overheating at the connector, slow or failed charging, and in the worst cases, port damage from repeated forced-fit attempts with the wrong connector shape.
