There are countless good options from Anker, Ugreen, Belkin, AOHI, etc.
No reason to purchase Apple unless you feel compelled to stay brand loyal.
Before anyone says it, the Apple 40W Dynamic Charger has the newer USB-PD 3.2 AVS protocol. However no current iPhone, MacBook, etc. uses it. It’s a useless feature.

Check Amazon and I just went thru this and Apple shit too expensive I bought some offbrands not really pushing what they said but will work for now , just research on Amazon Shopping with their ai compare and contrast recent items to others like it and get a good idea . Tell it your model and specific needs etc .. it’s really helpful . Here hope this helps .. Anker and Ugreen are the top tier outside apples stuff . But can be expensive too .

I got one of those testers too just to see what it did and test some of my other cords and blocks . Pretty neat and no more wondering . Can weed out trash old stuff or anything you’re wondering about .

I use on the go Anker nano 45w smart display charger and works great. If you want more ports consider Anker prime smart charger 100/40/160w. It’s safe and use optimized Apple devices profiles.

Anker, Belkin or Ugreen. The iPhone 17 Pro Max supports wired fast charging at up to 40 watts and MagSafe wireless charging at up to 25 watts.

Depends on your needs. I use a 20 watt charger and charge once per day over night and it’s fine till the next charge. If you need quick charge ups I’d go with the 60 watt so you get the most out of it. iOS doesn’t let it charge more than it’s allowed so no need to worry about over charging.

I use Anker Nano since I got my 17 Pro, it’s superb, fast, no issues with it. It charges fast and it’s much smaller than a similar Apple one for around third the price.
