So glad we’re getting to the point where we’re seeing 4 port USB C only chargers with lots of power output. Definitely gonna scoop the hyper one or UGREEN on Black Friday
I know this is a year old, but love the video. Not sure if you have a newer one out, but if not you should do one. And maybe for the simpletons like myself talk about what some of our devices need because idk. Like the most an iPhone can take is “X”W, for your MacBook you want “Y”W, and newer iPads max out at “Z”W. Anyway, look forward to it. Gonna see if it already exists.
I’ve run the nano ll 20w chargers, the nano lll 45w GaN ll (current charger used) and the anker powercore+ 20100 portable charger and anker has proven to me they are one of the best charger accessory companies out there n i will continue to use their products
Thanks a lot for this video, I found it very useful, but if I can ask some questions here: 1. Are Apple charges GaN or not? So for the health of the battery, is better to use Apple's charger or Anker's one for iPhone? 2. When you this charger is 245 watt what does that mean? I didn't understand that, because after you say: you can get 100 watts from any of the 4 ports, so does that mean, we can charge 4 laptops in the same time, because each port 100 watt, then will need 400 watt. Or if you charge just one laptop from one port, can it get more than 100 watt if it need it or what? Sorry for this long comments and I hope to answer in two questions. Thank you again for this nice video.
Probably they mean since USB PD 3.0 maxes out at 100W, each individual port can go to 100W max, meaning if you used all 4 ports, you can get 100W from 2 of the ports, but then the other 2 would output a total of 45W only (in ideal conditions) GaN itself wouldn’t have an effect on the battery health, but I can’t speak to which would preserve it better in the long run. They likely have no significant difference because the iPhone will only charge so fast. Keeping it between 20-80% and charging in cool conditions probably would do more for the long-term battery health
If you check on Amazon, they do state that the 45W Charger has overcharge protection. This is for most of their charger models from the GaN, GaN II, PowerCore, PowerCore II, Nano, Nano II, and Nano III charger models. Hope this helps.
You know, I really wanted fast charging with every iPhone I had prior to the iPhone 11. From that point on, the battery life has improved so much that fast charging isn’t really so much of a need as it is a convenient want. That said, I LOVE my Anker Power Station that charges my Mac, iPad, iPhone and ear buds all at the same time.
I personally wouldn't trust any brand other than Apple, Mophie, Satachi, and Belkin. These devices are too expensive to take risks with. While people like to trust Anker, they are a Chinese company and most of their chargers are not UL certified.
@@felipecamargo5060 they are but bigger brands go through various safety certification to ensure that the plugs are safe to use, won't explode and cause a fire, and won't damage your device with an over current. Not all plugs made in China are built equally. The key is which brand is making them, not what country.
Very interesting ! I got my anker charger late 2019 or early 2020 (I forget) and it’s still lasted me for so long and it’s awesome. I’m gonna upgrade to their other newer products but that’s just my experience.
I just ordered the Anker 747 150w charger. I want this so I don’t have to lug around several chargers with me everywhere I go. I can just take one. The anker is sweet because it can plug directly into the wall or be attached to a short extension cable. It’s also smaller than the satechi 165w charger. Crossing my fingers that it will be an awesome charger!
How’s the charger working for you? I am visiting japan and saw they have a store here (Anker). Going to go pick one up tomorrow and hope it goes great. Was between the 747 and Satechi, but like you said size is important to me since I travel for work so much.
@@thisiserich I picked it up in Japan and got tax savings so it was a no brainer. Loving it so far and was able to charge all devices at once! Great so far!
Hello everyone. I’m a newbie to this. (Please help). Will any of these chargers in the video in any way harm or potentially harm the iPhone just because it’s not an apple product?
It won't been a long time anker user but recently i bought a apple 20w adapter and it amazed me because it doesn't heat up the iphone during charging unlike the 30w anker
30W charger tops. Your phone can take max 27W input power so there's no point buying a more powerful one. Unless you have more devices you could charge simultanously, get a 1 port 30W charger (or 27W if they exist).
GaN (Gallium Nitride), will charge your iPhone or other devices that being USB 2.0 Type-A or USB-C at the necessary wattage for those devices in a efficient and charge fast to about 80% then, will charge slower to preserve battery life span. PD (Power Delivery), is available in two generations and will help your devices to charge with overcharge protection. This will insure that the devices being charged, don’t have a fire hazard; also, this will protects the charger from catching on fire.
@@dappadondadda100 No, GaN chargers are more safer than PD chargers. With PD chargers, most of them have over charge protection but, there is the cheaper PD chargers that don’t have over charge protection which can in turn, over charge your devices. Not only can some cheaper PD chargers be unsafe for over charging your devices, they are prone to catch on fire if you keep them plugged in after charging your device to 100%. If you're looking at a PD charger, make sure they are PD 3.0 or 3.1 for better, faster, and safer charging. All of those will have over charge protection to charge your devices safely. However, for much fast charging capabilities and being more compact, a GaN charger is the way to go. All GaN chargers, have over charge protection with either PD 3.0 or 3.1. PD 3.1 will charge your devices with more wattage than PD 3.0 and, will offer more USB Type-C charging ports depending on the charger and total output wattage you're looking for.
I have the original hyper charger. I would not recommend it. Terrible customer suport, and it stopped working (USB-C for 19V rail) after exactly 13 months. Backed them up on kickstarter . Now regret it.
Me too, not getting another iPhone until it gets USB-C. I want to be able to use the same charger and cable as my Macbook Pro 16 inch M1 Pro. Hate carrying two cables everywhere.
WARNING ugreen chargers have no certification that is a 200w hazard. A simple amazon user review would have told you that !!!! Appleinsider dont be a shill promoting hazardous products.
This video is only good for people looking for options but no factual data to back up any performance. These chargers are not created equal and there are performance differences. do your homework and good luck
When we’re busy and we didn’t charge our phone we have to leave it in the charger. Fast charging it keeps us closer to our device. I mean the 14’s small things in the interface is a game changer 🤷🏼♂️😊
Fast charging is great, but for me, I like to give the battery as much service life as possible. So I shut off Fast Charging and employ Battery Saver (Maximum Battery Saver) and have it always on, as well as Charging Protection in my devices.
@@mynintendogamingfeed5208 dude i serviced my battery after 3yrs for £60 from apple. Nuke the shit out of it who cares its dirt cheap even if it only lasted one year it saves you £1000+ from not upgrading to the new phone.

@@iCozzh My Google Pixel 5 developed a huge bulge and that signaled me that a replacement is imminent. So I had it serviced for $64 at a reputable repair shop. That battery was about to bust open its spicy pillow...

Same
Mine too
Is third party charger safe for iphone battery? Im not just talking Anker
@@braintadevin6934 Yes get aleast 20watts or better. if it has 2 charging ports on the device say 40 w then each port will be 20w

I have the anker 737 charger and anker 737 powerbank and I’m really pleased with the performance.
Does GaN help to keep Battery Health more stable over time, or keep the phone at a cooler temp while charging?
No, it’s all about the charger, not your phone. So the charger will be more efficient and cooler than a silicon charger.
Definitely surprised why anything from Anker was not included in this. 😅
i bought anker nano 30watt with original anker cables to charge my iphone 14 pro max. Is it safe?
Its safe but it overheat your iphone compared to the iphone 20w adapter
Awesome video. Question, if I have an Anker of 45W, is not gonna overcharge the device and damage the iphone’s 14 battery life? Thank you in advance.
If you check on Amazon, they do state that the 45W Charger has overcharge protection. This is for most of their charger models from the GaN, GaN II, PowerCore, PowerCore II, Nano, Nano II, and Nano III charger models. Hope this helps.
could you check if the charging will be interrupted for a short moment when you connect one more device to the charger

Never sleep! Never stop!
Can I use Xiaomi 65 GaN charger for iPhone 13 ? Will it charge it with 20 W ?
I personally wouldn't trust any brand other than Apple, Mophie, Satachi, and Belkin. These devices are too expensive to take risks with. While people like to trust Anker, they are a Chinese company and most of their chargers are not UL certified.
agreed, proper certifications give confidence as well.
You forgot that the iphone and much more stuffs are made on China nowadays.

Baseus is a very good charger. Why didn't you recommend it?
I had the 165W Satechi. But I had to return it because coil whine was very annoying.
Baseus and Anker is trusted manufacturers for myself and my friends.
Baseus? Hahhhahahha. They sell fucking garbage and the customer service denies that they sell garbage. Never gonna buy a single thing from him.

Beginner here: how to distinguish GaN charger vs non-GaN?
Is it printed on the charger?
I think it is printed on the charger also usually when you purchase it it says it on the website
It’s always advertised on the selling page, and tends to be printed with the other info on the charger
Love the 80’s “members only” nightclub sweatshirt 😀
Heh thanks!

why Apple doesnt produce GaN chargers?
One of the reasons is that GaN is still new and not produced in large enough supplies for Apple’s demands.
I have the original hyper charger. I would not recommend it. Terrible customer suport, and it stopped working (USB-C for 19V rail) after exactly 13 months. Backed them up on kickstarter . Now regret it.
MAJOR FAIL to put a 2012 port on a 2022 phone. NO INTEREST until iPhones use regular USB-C cables.

Over 20W chargers are pointless
just learn when/how to use a low wattage chargers for your phone
and carry a portable battery
Of course you didn’t put prices.
