Anker has introduced a fresh line of USB-C wall chargers tailored for Apple devices. This new lineup features options with one, two, three, and even four ports, including the Desktop Charger (240W, 4 port). Earlier in November, images of these products surfaced, providing insight into their features.
Detailed Product Overview
At the beginning of the lineup is the Anker Charger (30W with USB-C Cable), which includes a single USB-C port. As the name implies, this gadget comes bundled with a 1.5 m (4.9 ft) USB-C to USB-C cable, and it is priced at $39.95/£39.95/€49.95. It's important to mention that the Anker 511 30W Charger is a more affordable option, retailing at an RRP of $22.99, and it has a smaller size, measuring 2.9 x 2.9 x 3.6 cm (1.1 × 1.1 × 1.4 inches) compared to 2.9 x 2.9 x 5.3 cm (~1.1 x 1.1 x 2.0 inches).
Other Variants Available
The lineup also features the Anker Charger (50W, 2 Port) and the Anker Charger (70W, 3 Port). The 50W and 70W specify the maximum output for a single port as well as the total output across all ports; however, it’s not clear how the power is allocated when charging two devices at once. The prices for these chargers are set at $49.95/£49.95/€59.95 and $79.95/£79.95/€89.95, respectively.
The High-Power Option
Lastly, Anker has unveiled the Charger (150W, 4 Port). This model, like the Desktop Charger (240W, 4 port), has a top USB-C output that can provide up to 140W, while the other ports are limited to 100W. Nevertheless, the power distribution for charging four devices is slightly altered, offering 70W + 30W + 30W + 20W, in contrast to the 140W + 50W + 30W + 20W configuration of the more powerful desktop version. The wall charger with four ports is priced at $99.95/£99.95.
All of these models feature a white casing that aligns with Apple’s aesthetic, and the US plug versions come with folding pins. Currently, these products are exclusive to the Apple Store. Although they are aimed at Apple users, they can also charge devices from other brands effectively.
