If it's USB 2.0-A (the normal one!) on one end you can just use a normal head to connect it to the mains. If it's not, buy a cable like this to use with an existing charger than has a USB2.0-A female output. amazon.co.uk
Badger Dec 2020 3:44pm, 23 Dec 2020 13,264 posts	0 Badger I might be misunderstanding this conversation, but I believe the iphone 12 models still have a Lightning connector on the phone; the supplied cable is Lightning to USB-C, so Dio's issue is at the charger end, not at the phone end. But this Lightning to USB old school cable on the Apple site says it is compatible with the iphone 12 series apple.com so you should also be able to use an existing Lightning to USB cable and an existing Apple type charger to charge the new one.

chunkywizmas Dec 2020 3:58pm, 23 Dec 2020 10,923 posts	0 chunkywizmas Ah, misinterpreted the conversation! I've got an iPhone8. Dio, what they said, if the input to the phone is lightning then any charge for an older iPhone will work.
