The problem is that the charger that comes with the iPhone package is always Five Blessings and one Safety. (Congratulations to the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, which get their own 18W quick-charge kit.) Want to experience fast charging? Hey, throw in a hundred bucks for a charger.
Add to that the switch from USB-A to USB-C for the 20W charger, and regular users will have to pay more than $100 for A Lightning-to-USB-C cable.
As a result, many consumers are likely to stick with the original charger in the hope that it won't work. Subconsciously, they will think that their iPhone will only work with a 5W charger. If the original charger is damaged or lost, they will buy the 5W charger again.
There's also Apple's MFi certification. In the early years, some iPhone users who bought replacement cables didn't pay much attention to the official product, and then bought a cable without MFi. Within a few weeks, the iPhone would tell you that the cable had failed authentication and that it could not be charged.
As a result, users tend to go to the official channel and buy the original cable for safety, and so on, creating the stereotype of official authenticity and security.
Finally, because the 5W charger was sold out, Apple's official customer service advised buying a 20W charger instead. Customer service also made a simple science, said the 20W charger is also available.
In earlier years, many people used iPad chargers to charge their iphones for faster charging. Apple has officially said that you can use a Mac charger, not an iPad.
