Iphone charging...

Also, judging from that photo in your first post, it looks like there is a tiny capacitor (maybe 100nF?!) on the output, so the output may not even be very clean. Could cause issues.

[EDIT - sorry - looks like there is a 100uF cap on that thing on the output side - I was accidentally looking at the input side in the photo].

Also, it is only intended for 500-600mA at best (and possibly less), so I don't get why you think this would be useful to charge an iphone in the first place - would take many hours and probably not healthy for your

expensive iphone in the long run.

This is a $0.99 circuit, not really designed for iphone charging although it might get you some charging with the relevant resistors and confirmation that the voltage is accurate as

advised.

If you want to do it properly, there are tools to help you design the desired output voltage and current capability and build your own circuit but you'd need to be prepared to solder the parts up yourself (some parts may be surface-mount).

But for a one-off, purchased parts will cost far more than an off-the-shelf iphone charger.

You could try looking for an alternative module from ebay but this $0.99 one is pretty poor for what you're trying to achieve.

I'd love to hear what tools i can use im sorta new to electronics, i know voltage, amps, resistors, how the flip am gonna design a circuit? if you say there are these tools, i'd love a loink or two

Fully agree with these points. I'm very doubtful that you will get the stated power output with this module anyway. An official Apple charger typically outputs 5W (1A) of power.
