Quick answer: iPhone 16 uses USB-C, so you need a USB-C to USB-C cable. A suitable 60W-class cable is already more than enough for the phone's charging requirement. A 240W cable does not make the iPhone draw 240W; its advantages are higher power headroom for other USB-C devices and, depending on the product, extra length.
60W vs 240W vs Lightning
| Cable type | Fits iPhone 16? | When it makes sense |
|---|---|---|
| USB-C cable rated up to 60W | Yes | Everyday iPhone 16 charging |
| Apple 240W USB-C cable | Yes | If you also charge higher-power USB-C devices or want the 2m cable |
| USB-C to Lightning | No | For older Lightning-port devices |

Does 240W charge iPhone 16 faster?
Not simply because the cable says 240W. The phone, charger and cable negotiate charging conditions, and the iPhone controls how much power it accepts. Choose cable capacity based on the full charging setup, not the largest number printed on the cable.
What if you also charge a MacBook or iPad?
A higher-rated cable can be useful when one cable is shared with a higher-power USB-C device. Check that device's recommended charging power and the cable's stated capabilities.

What to Check Before Buying
For Pakistani buyers, check compatibility, charging standard, connector type, plug fit and the cable used with the charger. Maximum wattage is not a promise that every phone will charge at that speed; the device, adapter and cable determine the actual result. For USB-C products, check supported Power Delivery or PPS requirements where relevant. For 2-pin and 3-pin models, choose the plug that fits the wall socket securely. Confirm the exact phone or tablet model against the product specifications before ordering.
Before checkout, verify the selected variant, included cable or adapter, current price, stock and delivery terms. The live product page should remain the final reference.
