I'm considering getting a USB-C Power Adapter for my new iPhone 16, as well as a new USB-C cable for my laptop. However, the prices on the Apple website seem pretty high. I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to go for cheaper alternatives instead. Can anyone share if it really makes a difference in quality or safety when using non-Apple chargers?

I've used Anker and uGreen chargers for years without any problems. Apple's chargers tend to be pricey, and they don't always have the latest battery tech. I even use the dual charger that came with my MacBook Air without issues.
I've never used Apple chargers myself. I have chargers from Anker, Ravpower, and some other brands, and they’ve all been great for me. I've been using third-party chargers for over a decade without any issues.
It’s not a huge deal to use non-Apple chargers, as long as they're from a well-known brand. I personally use Anker for everything, and they work great with Apple devices.
Same here! Can't complain!
