Every week at our St Marys microsoldering bench, we replace burnt iPhone Hydra/USB-C charging controller chips and smashed OLED displays caused by two avoidable mistakes: $6 uncertified petrol-station chargers and waiting 'a few days' to fit a screen protector. Here is the exact day-one accessory checklist our technicians recommend with every phone purchase.
1. Exact Charger Wattage & Connector Matrix by Phone Generation
| Handset Series | Charging Port | Optimal Wall Brick (AS/NZS Plug) | Cable Spec |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 15, 16, 17 & 18 Series | Universal USB-C | 20W to 35W USB-C Power Delivery (PD) GaN | 60W/100W Braided USB-C to USB-C (USB 3 for ProRes SSD) |
| iPhone 8, SE, 11, 12, 13 & 14 Series | Apple Lightning | 20W USB-C PD Wall Adapter (~50% in 30 mins) | Certified MFi USB-C to Lightning Cable |
| Samsung Galaxy S23 / S24 / S25 / S26 | Universal USB-C | 25W or 45W USB-C PD 3.0 with PPS (Super Fast) | 5A E-Marked USB-C to USB-C Cable (for 45W Ultra) |
| Apple iPad 8th-10th Gen, Air & Pro | Lightning or USB-C | 30W to 45W USB-C PD GaN | USB-C to Lightning (7th-9th Gen) or USB-C to USB-C |
2. Why +$20 Bench-Fitted 9H Glass + Air-Cushion MagSafe Case Saves $300+ Repairs
Applying tempered glass at home almost always traps a lint speck right over the middle of the OLED. When ordering any handset on phones.prcrepair.com.au, leave the +$20.00 AUD Fitted 9H Tempered Glass box ticked: our technicians align edge-to-edge oleophobic 9H glass under clean bench lighting before boxing, and you can pair raised-lip MagSafe cases, camera lens rings, and GaN chargers with Free Tracked Shipping from warehouse.prcrepair.com.au.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my MacBook 67W or 96W USB-C charger to charge an iPhone 15, 16, or 17?
Yes, genuine USB-C Power Delivery (PD) negotiates voltage safely so the iPhone only draws the 20W-30W it requests. Only cheap non-PD counterfeits lacking voltage regulation damage charging ICs.
Does wireless MagSafe charging degrade battery health faster than a cable?
Cheap unaligned wireless pads generate excess heat (the #1 enemy of lithium-ion longevity). Magnetic Qi2 / MagSafe chargers snap coils into exact alignment, and USB-C PD cables remain the coolest, fastest daily charge.
Do PRC phones come with a cable in the box?
Yes, every certified phone order from phones.prcrepair.com.au includes a charging cable and SIM pin, plus a $15 retail accessories pass and $50 PRC Repair Voucher.
