The iPhone 12 range no longer come with a charger, it has to be ordered separately.
However, the iPhone 12 range come with a USB C to Lightning cable. This means that unless you have an old cable it will not work with any existing Apple charger you may have. Your old USB A to Lightning cable that came with older iPhones will work with iPhone 12 models so that way you can use other chargers you may have.
