This teaches you how to charge your iPhone without using the charging block which plugs into a wall socket.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0The easiest way to charge your iPhone without the block is by using the charger cable with a USB port on your computer. If necessary, you can use various portable chargers to charge your iPhone via its cable.Keep in mind that you must have an\u00a0iPhone charger\u00a0<\/strong>cable in order to charge your iPhone.ethod<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1Using a USB Port<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you have your iPhone’s charger cable. The iPhone’s charger cable, when separated from the charging brick, has a USB connector at one end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use this cable in conjunction with a USB port in order to charge your iPhone.iPhone 8, 8 Plus, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 pro<\/strong>\u00a0and pro max models can also use wireless chargers, which have wide, flat dishes on which you can place your iPhone back-down to charge it.You cannot charge your iPhone without a charger cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Find a USB port.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of USB ports\u2014the rectangular ports found on computers\u2014can be used to power USB items such as your iPhone’s charger.USB ports which aren’t connected to a computer (eg, those found on the back of TVs or in hubs in places like coffee shops or airports) are always powered unless they’re broken.If you have an\u00a0iPhone 8\u00a0<\/strong>or newer, you’ll need to find a USB-C port. These are rarer than the USB 3.0 ports found on most computers, behind TVs, and so on. If you can’t find a USB- C port, try using a portable charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3Plug your iPhone’s cable into the USB port.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The USB side of the iPhone’s charger should only fit one way into the USB port, so don’t force the connection.If you’re using a USB-C port, you can plug in the charger’s USB side in any direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.Attach the cable to your iPhone.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug the free end of the iPhone’s charger into the Lightning charging port at the bottom of your iPhone’s housing.If you’re using an\u00a0iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X<\/strong>, you can also use a wireless charging port or mat by placing your iPhone back-down on the charging surface. If you don’t have one, you can typically find these chargers in public spaces such as airports or cafes.[1]If you’re charging an iPhone 4S or older, you’ll need to make sure the rectangular icon on the base of the charging connector is on the same side as the iPhone’s screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.Wait for the charging icon to appear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a couple of seconds of plugging in your\u00a0iPhone,<\/strong>\u00a0you should see a colored battery icon appear on the screen, and the phone should lightly vibrate.You will also see a lightning bolt icon appear to the right of the battery indicator in the top-right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.Try a different USB port. Not all USB ports support charging.<\/strong>
If your\u00a0iPhone<\/a>\u00a0isn’t charging within a few seconds of connecting to the USB port, disconnect the charger and try a different USB port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
