Hi there!
I've read all the information all over internet about the iPhone 17 and still don't understand which is the right W for the electric charger that I need to buy : 25w or 30w?
Thanks in advance!

Does it mean that I still can use the charger 33W from my old Xaomi that had the option for fast charging? I've never had an iPhone by now and don't know anything about the specifics.. Thank you!
You need to check that your Xaomi Power Adapter (charger) supports USB PD (Power Delivery). If it does support USB PD, then yes, it will be compatible with your iPhone 17.
Apple devices do not support other proprietary charging standards - such as QC (Quick Charge).

Either will work. The 30 Watt will support fast charging.
You could use a 100 Watt power adapter or higher if you want. The "charger" is in the phone. It automatically controls the amount of current flowing to the battery, so it is impossible to overcharge the phone.
The second device appears to be this one:
Anker – Anker Nano Charger (30W)
Anker says that it is a 30W charger, and the device has a USB-C port – but I cannot find any explicit mention of USB-C Power Delivery, Power Delivery, or PD.
Thank you so much for the reply!

There is a lack of information about exactly this detail PD, although all the sellers say that their product supports it. Would you please take a look on that description and give me an advise? Thanks in advance!
The first device in your post appears to be this one:
UGREEN – Power Banks – UGREEN Nexode 20000mAh 145W Laptop Portable Power Bank
"145W Fast Charge – Power Laptops in Minutes：Deliver up to 100W via USB-C and 145W total across all ports, charging your MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, or Galaxy Tab in record time. Whether you’re powering up before a flight or between meetings, stay fully charged without slowing down."
"Smart Protocol Support – Fast Charge All Major Devices：Supports PD, PPS, SCP, and UFCS fast-charging protocols, ensuring optimized charging for iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and more. Charge three devices at once—no more waiting."
I assume that "PD" stands for "USB-C Power Delivery." I wouldn't count on this device supporting it on its USB-A port, only on its USB-C cable and on its USB-C port.

Exactly! That's why I needed your suggestions guys. What brand and model of adapter to buy?
Purchasing Apple ensures high quality, reliability and compatibility.
High-quality third-party adapters are available. Mophie have good reputation here - and are directly marketed by Apple. Anker and Belkin are also well known - but you should verify support for USB PD prior to purchase.
Purchasing from a physical Apple Store, or the Apple online store, will always ensure compatibility with Apple devices.
Does it mean that I can still use......
Yes
Thank you!
That was really helpful, thank you for the reply!
You're very welcome. The devil's in the detail. 🙂

You've very welcome.
Something happened with my last reply - a word is missing. It should read "Purchasing from Apple ensures high quality, reliability and compatibility..." 🙂
