MacRumors readers can get 20 percent off a collection of Anker's best chargers, power banks, cables, hubs, and docks this month, just in time for holiday shopping.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Anker. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

Our exclusive 20 percent off code works on most accessories sitewide, including Anker's new line of MagSafe-compatible products. Our code does not stack with any existing offers, including any early access Black Friday deals. We've collected some of the best accessories to use our code on in the list below. In some cases Anker's own on-page coupons are better, so we have marked them as such.



Anker is also currently hosting a new Black Friday event where you can buy two accessories to get 20 percent off, or buy three for 25 percent off, so if you plan on buying in bulk this may be a better offer. There are also mystery boxes where you can spend up to $79.99 in order to win a piece of gear worth as much as $799.00.

Don't forget that our exclusive code works with even more devices sitewide. All prices listed below will appear after you enter the code akmacrumors20ch at the checkout screen on Anker's website.

Wireless Chargers

Some of these — can’t speak for all — are fake sales. For instance, I purchased the 2-in-1 Wireless Charger Stand for $40 on Amazon last week (it was already “20% off”, no coupon needed), and now it’s showing as $50 with a 20% coupon. So the price hasn’t actually changed at all. As far as I can tell from price trackers, it has never truly sold for $50.

Agree this is suspect. Leans "affiliate partner click bait", IMO.
 
For those who want Anker sales, you have to follow Anker on TikTok and watch their lives since that's where the sales are at. I bought an Anker Prime 20K with the charging base for only $56 and on the Anker site it was $199 from what I remember.

This happens a lot. I bought a pair of safety shoes for work and I have them bookmarked to get a second pair. The price flipflops on a regular basis between £39.98 with 15% off (£33.98) and £33.98 with no 15% discount.
 
The mystery boxes sound interesting, but there's too many things I couldn't use at each tier, like those wireless chargers for iPhone/watch. Precisely the things most people here would like, probably ;)

Also, it's very misleading for their website to say, for example, "Only $29.99 to Win $199.99 Worth of Gear," if that's just the top prize at that price point. They need to say up to.
Oh, and I looked at the lowest possible prize for that box, which is a power bank 30w/5000 mAh charger that
they claim is $39.99, but at Amazon it appears to be 29.99 on sale but there's a 20% coupon you can click to make it even cheaper. WTF, I have always trusted Anker as a brand but they seem to be really abusing that trust right now.
