I'm wondering if it's safe to charge my iPhone 17 using a 65W Lenovo laptop charger. My regular iPhone charger is really slow, and I use the Lenovo charger for my laptop, which charges my phone much faster. I want to take good care of my phone's battery, so I usually avoid using the Lenovo charger, but I've heard mixed opinions about whether it's safe to do so. What should I know?

Yeah, just go ahead and use the Lenovo charger! It won’t harm your phone. In fact, devices request specific power levels, so the charger just gives what the phone asks for.
It's perfectly okay! Your iPhone won’t pull more wattage than it can handle, so you don’t have to worry about damaging the battery in the long run.
I've charged devices from different brands with laptop chargers before, and it generally works fine. Just keep in mind that if your cable is slow, it might be damaged or not very good quality. It's not always about the wattage—sometimes it’s about the cable too!
Totally fine to charge with that charger. Just remember, all the worrying about charging speeds might not matter as much in the long run. The cycle count on the battery is what really affects its longevity.
