  • Xiaomi Cuktech’s 30W GaN Charger for iPhones Available at Just $3

    Xiaomi Cuktech’s 30W GaN Charger for iPhones Available at Just $3

    Last week, Xiaomi’s Cuktech (formerly ZMI) launched a 20W GaN charger for iPhones. Just a few days later, the brand has released yet another power adapter again for Apple smartphones and tablets.

    Introducing the Cuktech 30W GaN Charger

    The newer model is almost identical to the older one. The only major difference is that it outputs more wattage (30W).

    The latest Cuktech charger bears model number A18C. It uses gallium nitride (GaN) like almost all power adapters from the brand.

    Thus it is comparatively smaller than regular silicon-based 30W chargers. The product weighs only 39g and measures 40 x 26 x 63.1mm in dimensions.

    Powerful and Versatile

    The adapter has a single USB Type-C port which can output up to 30W. It supports USB PD standard and is compatible with iPhone 8 to 15 series as well as all iPads.

    Cuktech claims that its charger can charge the iPhone 15 Pro Max at 27W. The adapter is rated to fill 56% of the battery in 30 minutes.

    Affordable Option

    The Cuktech 30W GaN charger is priced at ¥25 (~$3) and arrives in a single white color option. The brand is offering an 18-month quality guarantee.

    For comparison, the official Apple 30W charger retails at ¥249 (~$35) in China. It is also considerably larger in size as it uses older silicon technology.

    Global Availability

    It is worth noting that Cuktech does sell a 30W GaN charger in select global markets. This one is different from the aforementioned Chinese model as it has a foldable pin and comes in black. This adapter costs $17.49 in the US but can be availed at a cheaper price at times.
