Today is the day chosen by Apple for the Launch of the new iPhone 16. If you are one of those who have reserved one of these phones and are using it for the first time today, you will be interested in knowing some tips before you start setting it up. A series of recommendations that I would have particularly liked to know.
Remember there is no charger in the box.
It’s been four years since iPhones come with a charging cable, but no power adapter. On the iPhone 16, as was the case on its predecessors, we find a USB-C port, the cable supplied in the box therefore has a dual USB-C connection.
If you don’t have any USB-C Power Adapter at home, it is recommended to buy one. If you pick up the iPhone at an Apple Store, you can buy it there. In any case, it does not have to be the official Apple one. In other stores and even on Amazon and others, you will find MFi power adapters, which means “Made For iPhone”, the quality certification that Apple grants to third parties.
