Since the inception of the iPhone 15 series, one of the most exciting new features is the ability to charge other devices. The iPhone 16 is no different. You can charge your Apple Watch directly from your iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro, making it easier to keep your devices powered up when you’re on the go.
In this article, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to charge your Apple Watch with your iPhone 16 / iPhone 16 Pro.
Before you get started, make sure you have your iPhone 16 / iPhone 16 Pro, an Apple Watch and ensure your iPhone should have at least 20% battery remaining to ensure it can provide enough power for the Apple Watch.
This method will apply if you have an Apple Watch Series 5, Series 6, Series 7, Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra. Also, it should be possible for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16+, iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max. All you need is your Watch’s charging cable.
