How many amps and watts should an iPhone charger have?

For iPhone, look at the adapter’s power in watts rather than its amps. The old Apple adapter is 5 V / 1 A, or 5 W. iPhone 8 and later fast charge with an 18 W or higher USB-C adapter. An iPhone draws only the power it needs; a stronger compatible adapter does not harm it. Use a certified adapter and cable.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
