“In Riga, the phone was the easy part; I verified the USB-C wall charger accepted 230 V and then dealt with Latvia’s C · F socket.”

Will my iPhone wall charger work in Latvia?
For Latvia, verify the exact iphone equipment instead of relying on a country-level assumption. For an iPhone, start with the wall charger. Latvia is listed at 230 V / 50 Hz. A USB-C or older USB power adapter marked 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz generally includes that range.
The common mistake is treating a plug adapter as a voltage converter. If an old phone charger were limited to 100–120 V, fitting it into a C · F outlet would not make it suitable for 230 V. Across different accommodations in Latvia, a tested iphone power setup is easier to repeat.
Latvia power: C · F · 230 V · 50 Hz
See the Latvia power plug guide →Which phone plugs need an adapter in Latvia?
The C · F outlet family answers plug fit for a iphone, not whether it accepts 230 V. Latvia uses C · F. A North American flat-pin phone charger may fit directly in some A/B destinations, while European, British or Australian plugs often need an adapter there. In Riga, the important part is matching the plug on the actual charger—not the connector that goes into the iPhone.
Anker 735 Charger — compact USB-C charging for Latvia
For Latvia, this multi-port option can cover compatible USB-C devices if its INPUT accepts 230 V; the iPhone cable type and charging protocol still need their own check.

A hotel-room workaround in Latvia should not replace checking fast-charge cable and protocol before departure. Fast charging depends on the phone, charger and cable working together. For a Latvia trip, a compact USB-C Power Delivery charger can reduce the number of bricks in the bag, but only if its INPUT includes 230 V and the cable supports the charging setup you expect.
Using a power bank while traveling in Latvia
Testing the complete iphone setup before Latvia keeps the travel-power kit simpler. A power bank is useful between Riga and , but it solves a different problem from wall compatibility. Keep the power bank for transit and the voltage-compatible wall charger for overnight charging; check airline battery rules before flying.
EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter — when the iPhone charger plug does not fit Latvia
Use it for plug shape only after confirming the wall charger accepts 230 V.

Once avoiding unnecessary conversion is confirmed for Latvia, extra conversion hardware is easier to avoid. There is usually no reason to add a voltage converter to a modern wide-input phone charger. If the charger label already includes 230 V, focus on C · F plug fit and cable condition. If the label is unclear or damaged, replace the charger rather than guessing.
