I Phone and adapters

After research my head is swimming - Please help. Will a "C" adapter for the outlets it's ok to use w/ an I phone 16 without using a "voltage or power adapter?

thanks

You just need an adapter for the plug, not a voltage converter.

Think voltage converter for hair dryers (high wattage), any small electronics will be dual voltage. You can get a plug adapter that's multifunction or a Swiss plug adapter.

This has basically every country in the world covered. https://a.co/d/0bPZNSDv

The Plug Adapters shown in a previous reply should work fine. The Apple Chargers are not grounded so a two pin adapter will suffice. If you're using an Apple charger, the spec's are listed on the bottom where the two prongs for the plug are located. You'll need good lighting and a good magnifying glass to read them. I also use an iPhone 16 series phone, and the Apple charger spec's are.....

Input 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. 0.5A
Output 5V @ 3A or 9V @ 2A.

If you're not using an Apple Charger, you'll need to check and verify the ratings.

It's a really good idea to disconnect the charger when you're not using it. Don't leave it connected to the outlet when not being used.

I used a C style adaptor the last time I was in Switzerland, but I stayed in chain hotels since it was a short visit. This time I'm in a few local hotels as well as a few Airbnbs, so to be safe I got an adaptor specifically meant for Switzerland with 3 prongs since I read that technically the C style, with 2 prongs, may or may not work in Switzerland. I figured that's one less thing for me to worry about.
