Apple's iPhone SE 3 isn't be the best iPhone available, as it packs plenty of dated technology. These include the classic chassis with thick bezels, inferior cameras, and more. Despite that, it's still safe to buy an iPhone SE 3 if you're on a budget, as it supports the latest iOS 17 and could last you for years to come. Though, you may want to know that its box does not include a charger. This means that you will have to invest in a charging brick separately. To help you make a smart purchase, we've compiled a list of the best iPhone SE 3 chargers and cables currently available.

Our favorite iPhone SE 3 chargers and cables

If I had to choose from these iPhone SE 3 chargers, I would go for the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter and Lightning to USB-C Cable, which are specifically designed for Apple products and work as expected. I won't have to worry about potential quality issues or malfunctioning, and they support fast charging. However, there are plenty of other excellent chargers available from Spigen, Belkin, and other reputable brands.

The iPhone SE 3 doesn't have great battery life. Apple states that you can play up to 50 hours of audio on a single charge. Though, this measurement depends on several factors that are typically not met in real life. As we found in our iPhone SE 3 review, the small battery can't last for a full day, depending on your usage. Expectedly, people who only use their phone for basic tasks might be able to get through the day, though. However, regardless of your usage, you can charge the phone quickly. Using a 20W (or higher) charger will fill 50% of its battery in only half an hour.
