Apple looks like it's finally getting properly on board with the idea of giving its iPhone customers better chargers in the box. Last year's iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max shipped with new 18W chargers, but standard iPhone 11 buyers weren't so lucky.
Which is the best iPhone? iPhone SE, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, or iPhone 11 Pro?
One might already conclude from this that Apple was doing the groundwork before spreading better chargers to the less expensive (but still expensive) phones in its range, and a new leak suggests just that.
The photograph, published on Twitter by one Mr·white, shows off a prototype charger encased in clear plastic but looking a lot like the US versions of Apple's power plugs have previously, if arguably slightly chunkier.

The caption says confidently that it'll accompany the iPhone 12 and bring 20W charging to the table. The same user followed up with another picture, of a different prototype, with regulatory details that confirm it would output around 20W.

Given the clear plastic in the first set of images, it's obviously a leap of faith to believe that they're all of the same devices, but the change would certainly make sense. Of course, it's not beyond Apple at all to merely repeat the trick of giving users who opt for its "Pro" line of phones swankier chargers, while leaving those who cut the budget slightly with fewer plush accessories.
