Default iPhone Charger Question

I got a new iPhone charger that has two slots for the cord, 1 marked 1 A and 1 marked 2.4A. Which one do I use? My old charger only had one place to plug in the cord.

Thanks!

Both should work. I believe the 1A one will probably charge significantly slower than the 2.4A.

2.4 amp is your fast charge.

Whenever possible, use the 1A charger. 2.4A will charge your phone faster, however your battery was designed to take a 1A charge. Continuous use of the 2.4A charge will decrease the overall life of your battery.
