Yes

In short, yes.

 

All the little cube brick thing does is convert your mains electricity in the walls to 5v 1a, as per the USB standard. Almost every USB device strictly complies to the USB standard (sometimes you have to be careful with early USB C connectors, but that's a different discussion). Any USB type A port will provide at least 5v 500ma as that is the standard, but 1a is typical. There are fast charging bricks out there that will list higher voltages on the side of the adapter, but a handshake between the device and the charger needs to be established before the supply turns its voltage above the standard 5v. If a device that does not support the fast charging is connected to one of these supplies, the supply will continue to provide the normal 5v 500-1000ma. In addition, I'm pretty sure the iPhone has overvoltage and overcurrent protection on its input, so even if you managed to shove more than 5v, the protection should catch it.

I agree. I have used multiple cables with multiple bricks of various manufacturers. Some work quicker some slower depends on the amperage but they do work every time. The fancy rapid charging brick from OnePlus works with IPhone as well
