Cuktech Releases New 20W GaN Charger for iPhone Users
Cuktech, a subsidiary of Xiaomi known for power accessories, has quietly introduced its latest product - a 20W GaN charger specifically designed for iPhone users. This new adapter, bearing the model number HA716C, supports up to 20W USB PD (Power Delivery) output.
Smaller and Lighter Design with GaN Technology
The Cuktech 20W GaN charger differentiates itself from regular silicon-based chargers with its use of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. As a result, it is not only smaller but also lighter, weighing in at a mere 39g. In terms of dimensions, it measures 38 x 22.3 x 43mm.
Third-Gen GaN Technology with 18-Month Guarantee
Cuktech claims that this adapter utilizes its third-gen GaN technology, ensuring efficient power delivery. The brand is so confident in its product that it offers an 18-month guarantee, providing customers with peace of mind.
Compatibility with iPhone 8 to iPhone 15 Lineup
Equipped with a single USB Type-C port, the Cuktech 20W GaN charger is capable of charging various iPhone models, ranging from the iPhone 8 to the latest iPhone 15 lineup. This makes it a versatile accessory for iPhone users.
Affordable Alternative to Apple's 20W Power Adapter
Priced at just ¥19 ($3), the Cuktech 20W GaN charger presents a much more affordable option compared to Apple's 20W power adapter. Apple's offering is priced at ¥149 ($21) in China and has a global (US) price tag of $19. Furthermore, Apple's adapter is not only more expensive but also larger and heavier, as it still relies on traditional silicon technology.
Availability Beyond Mainland China
While Cuktech has a global presence and sells a range of products, it is currently unclear whether and when the new 20W GaN charger will be made available outside of mainland China. Interested customers will have to keep an eye out for any updates regarding international availability.
