The Power Adapter is sold separately right at Apple’s own website or store. Looking at the price, some users prefer not to go with Apple’s products and shop’s third-party accessories. Check out Apple’s Website for Power Adapter, or else, always shop from trustworthy brands like Spigen.

When the iPhone is turned off, all the processors will shut down, including the apps and programs; doing this will cut down the heat and only focus on charging the iPhone.

Location Services on iPhone is being used by many applications like WhatsApp, Instagram, Maps, Banking Apps, Payment Apps, Grocery Apps, Shopping Apps, and many more to access your location.
