Hi Lelia, Strictly speaking the cable whether the old 30-Pin used with the iPhone 4S and earlier or the Lightning cable which started with the iPhone 5 is not a "charger". It is simply the Lightning Cable or USB to Lightning cable. The small square piece the USB end of the cable plugs in to is called the wall adapter or power adapter. As Mike pointed out, you can use pretty much most power/wall adapters with the iPhone although for the iPad you should make sure it's a 2.1 Amp adapter since a 1 Amp adapter won't charge it or at least only very slowly. It doesn't matter if you use a 2.1 Amp adapter with the iPhone, it will only draw as much current as needed.
I also very much like the Anker 2-port or 4-port adapters you can buy, you plug them into an outlet and then you have 2 or 4 spots to plug in USB cables. I have a 2-port adapter plugged in behind the bed and this way both my wife and I can have a Lightning cable on each side table to charge our phones at the same time.

Hello, I know this might be a weird question, but you know how you have your iPhone charger and you have that square size plug that you plug the charger into. What is it called so I know what to tell someone I need? Thanks. I have an iPhone 5s. And my husband has a six.
