Can I Use My iPhone Charger in Brazil?
Yes — your iPhone charger works in Brazil with just a plug adapter.
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 Brazil's 127V, so it runs normally — you only need a Type N/C plug adapter for the socket shape. As always, confirm the voltage range printed on the label.
Brazil runs 127V / 60Hz. CRITICAL EDGE CASE: Brazil has no single national voltage. Most of the south and southeast (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro) is 127V, while much of the northeast and the capital Brasília is 220V — and both can even coexist on the same street. Always confirm the voltage of your specific city or hotel before plugging in. The frequency is 60Hz nationwide. Brazil uses the Type N plug (its own standard), which also accepts Type C.
