Can I Use My iPhone Charger in Argentina?

Q: What plug type does Argentina use?

Argentina uses Type I sockets at 220V / 50Hz.

Yes — your iPhone charger works in Argentina with just a plug adapter.

Plug adapter needed

Your device handles this country's voltage, but the plug shape is different. You need a plug adapter to fit the sockets here. A plug adapter only changes the shape — it does not change voltage, and that's fine in this case because your device already supports the local voltage.

Why

Your iPhone charger's voltage already matches Argentina's 220V, so it runs normally — you only need a Type I plug adapter for the socket shape. As always, confirm the voltage range printed on the label.

Argentina runs 220⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Argentina runs 220V at 50Hz with the IRAM Type I plug system (the same angled-pin family used in Australia). Do not rely on non-standard Europlug fit; pack a Type I adapter. US single-voltage gear also needs a converter.
