It’s another year, and with that, we get another iPhone; in this case, it’s the iPhone 15. How should I describe it? It’s fantastic, amazing, incredible, cutting-edge! Right? Well, it’s also basically the same phone for the past few years. If someone hasn’t told you, I will; phones have reached their peak, and it’s just very incremental upgrades year after year.
That said, there is one huge upgrade for the iPhone 15, and that would be that it uses a USB-C port. This is a big deal because you don’t need to worry about using a USB-C to Lightning cable; you can rely on the commonly used USB-C to USB-C cable. In this guide, I’m covering chargers that would be most reliable for fast charging your iPhone 15, and for the first time, I can tell you that you can use a USB-C to USB-C charging cable with your iPhone.
UGREEN Nexode 45W 2 Port Charger
The charger I recommend for fast charging your iPhone 15 is this UGREEN Nexode 45W charger. Just a heads up, even though the iPhone 15 has a USB-C port now, the max charge rate is still 20W; that said, it’s better than using a USB-A port and getting a standard charge rate.
This UGREEN charger is one of my most recommended because it has a 45W Power Delivery output if you’re charging one device at a time; this makes it possible to charge a laptop with this charger alone. Of course, 45W of Power Delivery is enough to fast charge your iPhone 15. The better part is that when you’re charging two devices simultaneously, this charger has a 25W and 20W power split, making it possible to fast charge your iPhone 15 and another phone simultaneously.

Oraimo 120W 4 Port Charger with 2 AC Outlets
If you’re searching for a charging station with many powerful ports and a power strip that you can use to power appliances via AC outlets, this Oraimo charging station is a good choice. This Oraimo charger features four charging ports, three USB-C ports, and a single USB-A port; the maximum output of the charging port section is 120W. Two AC outlets have a shared 1250W max output.
Fast charging your iPhone from this Oraimo charger will always be possible from the USB-C 1 or 2 ports, no matter how many devices you are charging or what appliances you are powering. This is a neat spin on a power strip charging station combo and one of the best I’ve seen while reviewing it.

VOLTME 35W 2 Port Charger
This VOLTME 35W charger is minimal, with a 35W max output and two USB-C ports. You can fast charge your iPhone 15 if you’re charging one device at a time because that’s when you can use the total 35W of Power Delivery. If you’re charging two devices simultaneously, the max output becomes 36W, and each port outputs 18W. So you may be unable to fast charge your iPhone 15 when charging two devices, but it comes close. Also, this charger is minimal and easy to be portable with.

|---|---|
| Single Port Charging | 35W |
| Dual Port Charging | 18W |
| Size | 1.8 x 1.8 x 1.1 inches |

UGREEN Nexode 100W 4 Port Charger
Another UGREEN charger I recommend is this UGREEN Nexode 100W 4 port charger. The charger has a 100W max output and features three USB-C ports and a single USB-A port. So, I’m recommending such a high-power output charger with many ports because, as an iPhone user, you may own other Apple products that use USB-C charging. In this case, even if you’re using four devices simultaneously, you can still fast charge your iPhone 15 from the USB-C 2 port and a laptop from USB-C 1.

The LinkPod Y2 power bank has a 9,600mAh battery capacity and can charge the iPhone 15 to full power about two times. The built-in UBS-C cable does mean that you don’t need an external cable to use the power bank because you can use the built-in cable to fast charge your iPhone 15 at 20W.
