Congratulations on your new iPhone :)


For environmental reasons Apple does not ship the charging brick any more with iPhone's. If you already have a charger (cable and brick) from a previous iPhone you can use that one.


If you do not have that you have some options since there are multiple ways to charge your iPhone. You can charge it wired or wireless with a Qi-compatible wireless charger.


If you want to use the cable that is inside the box you can go with a 20W UBS-C Adapter: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHJA3AM/A/20w-usb-c-power-adapter?fnode=59cbdf6f3a531d0832cfb845525ed8c693922ed420e6974c31326e0385ba8b2a69b9d5b9e97dd94d5481ebe11064493f99db8e3dec639365ccc71bfee9d51958a46beb8f4dcdd91fbfc3e89c70fe41ef7e232aff510d10ffc3dff6d633de7093fbf185fc09981109c37b8d2020457b5d


If you want to use a wireless charger you can go with an Qi-compatible chargers. That also includes Apple's new MagSafe chargers. Check out Apple's website here for wireless chargers: https://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/accessories/power-cables?page=1&f=inductive&fh=458e%2B49e9


If you want to be sure that the charger (brick or Qi-charger) works with your new iPhone you can check the compatibility section.
