Hi all,
I have an older iMac with USB 2.0 ports. I want to buy an iPhone 11 that seems to come bundled with a lighting cable using USB-C. Will I be able to charge up a new iPhone 11 from my iMac? The salesperson at the cell phone place tried to sell me a charger (kind of expensive) but after a bit of reading, it seems this charger is for a fast charge-up and it also seems that the iPhone 11 (still) supports the older 5 watt chargers that I already have (but it takes longer). Is that true? Sometimes, it's hard to get the straight info when a sale is pending (and the person is on a sales commission).
Thanks in adv for the info,
Bob M.
P.S. I have an iMac 10,1 - late 2009
