No charger included: Do you really need this pricey iPhone 12 extra?

Though a charger is not included when buying the new iPhone 12, do you really need one? — dpa

If you buy an iPhone 12 you’ll have to buy a charger separately or else use your old one - all that Apple supplies with this new phone is a USB-C to Lightning cable.

Fortunately you don’t have to buy another expensive Apple accessory, as any smartphone charger should do the job - provided it has adequate power wattage.
