Recently my original apple charger for my iPhone 14 PM stopped functioning. Now I am thinking of going with some third party charger which charges very fast. Can you help with any safe fast charger which doesn’t affect battery life also?
Budget: ~4k

Your phone max charging speed is 29W, any charger beyond this will offer no benefits.
If you were using 20W apple charger you can go with 30W one.
Whatever charger you use, make sure to use the original cable.

I like my McDodo 33W 2-port charger for my iPhone at about 1k. Only problem is that it has EU pins which are thinner than Indian 2-pin sockets, so it arcs like anything when using sockets outside.
Advice in general, use the EU pin versions only if you have a multi-socket.
Buy any GaN charger. One charger to rule them all.
I have one from Spigen and another from UGreen. Both work fantastic for Apple devices for over 2 years now.
As of now this one will serve any present and future needs, including phones and laptop and everything in between.

I also use the McDodo 120W charger at home, you need that one if your laptop refuses to charge at anything less than 100W, which all laptops with discrete GPUs do.
But yes, I prefer the 33W one because we are talking about 44g vs 255g.

i would suggest having a GaN charger they are superior technology for providing power to devices. if you have macbook with this all you’ll need is one adaptor that too can be tiny. would charge two devices (least) simultaneously.

Not really superior. It will give same electrons to our device that non-GaN charger will.
From the device point of view there is no change in any parameter.
Only difference is efficiency.
- Charger can be made smaller for the same power output / also less heat.
- Same case charger can be made to give higher output power.

I am thinking of buying this
Spigen is not known for chargers and in fact has had a lot of issues in the past.

If you want to be absolutely sure of reliability, go for Apple. Else Belkin do provide some good chargers for iphone. you can go for this as well as look for other wattages in the same page.
I think I should get 30W but thats out of budget for Belkin. Any other safe brand you recommend?
Some of the things I came across on amazon. This one from Anker says it supports 30W from its USB-C port but reviews reveals the reality of only 20W for type-C output and remaining is from other type-A port.
Next, Belkin has 30W adapter with a single Type-C port, max charging is upto 30W if your phone supports it.
Spigen is having 35W charger but reviews are little underconfident. I’m hoping someone who is using the spigen brand share their experience for all of us.
Nothing is also having a 33W charger. Reviews seems good. Always buy from flipkart for Nothing products to avoid fake ones.
These are all I searched. Anker is good as I’m using 20W adapter for charging my Pixel 4A. It is working well, heats little bit when charging the almost empty phone to full. Rest, it works just like any other charger.
