Can I Use My iPhone Charger in Chile?

Plug adapter needed

Yes — with an 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.

The short answer

iPhone chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V) and safe everywhere. You only need a plug adapter for the socket shape — no converter.

Chile runs 220V at 50Hz. Chile runs 220V at 50Hz with Type C and Type L (Italian-style) sockets that accept the Europlug. US single-voltage devices need a converter; the voltage is nearly double US 120V.

Look for "INPUT 100–240V" on the label. If it says "120V" only — do not plug it in abroad without a converter.
