How to Charge Your iPhone without a Charging Block

This teaches you how to charge your iPhone without using the charging block which plugs into a wall socket. The easiest way to charge your iPhone without the block is by using the charger cable with a USB port on your computer. If necessary, you can use various portable chargers to charge your iPhone via its cable. Keep in mind that you must have an iPhone charger cable in order to charge your iPhone.ethod

1Using a USB PortMake sure you have your iPhone’s charger cable. The iPhone’s charger cable, when separated from the charging brick, has a USB connector at one end. You can use this cable in conjunction with a USB port in order to charge your iPhone.iPhone 8, 8 Plus, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 pro and pro max models can also use wireless chargers, which have wide, flat dishes on which you can place your iPhone back-down to charge it.You cannot charge your iPhone without a charger cable.


2.Find a USB port. 
The majority of USB ports—the rectangular ports found on computers—can be used to power USB items such as your iPhone’s charger.USB ports which aren’t connected to a computer (eg, those found on the back of TVs or in hubs in places like coffee shops or airports) are always powered unless they’re broken.If you have an iPhone 8 or newer, you’ll need to find a USB-C port. These are rarer than the USB 3.0 ports found on most computers, behind TVs, and so on. If you can’t find a USB- C port, try using a portable charger.


3Plug your iPhone’s cable into the USB port. The USB side of the iPhone’s charger should only fit one way into the USB port, so don’t force the connection.If you’re using a USB-C port, you can plug in the charger’s USB side in any direction.


4.Attach the cable to your iPhone. 
Plug the free end of the iPhone’s charger into the Lightning charging port at the bottom of your iPhone’s housing.If you’re using an iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X, you can also use a wireless charging port or mat by placing your iPhone back-down on the charging surface. If you don’t have one, you can typically find these chargers in public spaces such as airports or cafes.[1]If you’re charging an iPhone 4S or older, you’ll need to make sure the rectangular icon on the base of the charging connector is on the same side as the iPhone’s screen.
5.Wait for the charging icon to appear.

Within a couple of seconds of plugging in your iPhone, you should see a colored battery icon appear on the screen, and the phone should lightly vibrate.You will also see a lightning bolt icon appear to the right of the battery indicator in the top-right corner of the screen.


6.Try a different USB port. Not all USB ports support charging.
If your iPhone isn’t charging within a few seconds of connecting to the USB port, disconnect the charger and try a different USB port.
