Anker's New 100W GaN Charger Features Three USB Ports, 34% Smaller Size Than Apple's 96W Charger

[finalcut]

Should make it 3 USB-C ports. I’m personally done buying chargers with USB-A ports.

Ugreen had one with 3 usb c and 1 usb a

Just found this for my iPod Classic.

IOS to phone4/4S DOCK Connector Data Transmission 8Pin Female to iDock 30Pin Male Adapter 2 Pack

Package included: 2 pcs Supported model: phone4S/4/3GS/Pad

Now I’m 100% USB-C approved.

Just 1 too many USB-a ports on that one, though.

Are you confusing Anker with Aukey?

Apart from the fact that the world is full of USB-A connected devices that need charging, isn't the Apple Watch charger USB-A? How do you charge the AW from a USB-C port without some sort of adapter?

Only old ones. Mine are USB-C.

If apple puts a GaN charger out it will NOT be like these.

If Apple put out one today, it would be exactly like these. Lucky for them, they don’t have to as they made it so that it’s possible to charge from any USB PD compliant charger.

 

[steve09090]

Because apple always describe all of their products as the most innovative , best in class, and ‘magical’.

Either they’re striving for that in all of their products, or they’re not.

Their chargers… well, they’re not.

Show me where they have said their chargers are the best.

Things with usb-A I charge regularly
- rc car
- AA charger (wtf this dont directly plug in the wall?!!)
- glove
- socks
- battery pack for coat
- battery-case for old iPhone
- old iPhone
- ipad
- 4 bicycle lights
- Apple Watch


Things with usb-C I charge regularly
- Oculus Quest 2
- MacBook Pro 14

Mkay, and here’s what you said on April 11th, 2022.

“I want my iPhone to be made in China. I think the quality is better in China and they have more humane work conditions in China than in India.”

/end quote

Senttoschool, It’s racist to assume the quality and working conditions are better in China as opposed to India. You haven’t even had the opportunity to use an Indian made iPhone nor are you aware of the contrast between Indian and Chinese labor laws.

You don’t know what “racist” means.

 

[NightFox]

Exactly why do you care if it gets hot? I don't understand how people just arbitrarily decide how hot their electronics are allowed to be...

Because generally, heat = wasted energy.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Because generally, heat = wasted energy.

And, increased heat means bigger problems to either work WITH that level of heat or dissipate the heat.

My 2019 16" MBP had its logical board damaged on its PPBus_G3H component, and I was charging it on my Baseus 100W GaN charger when it happened.

I can not tell for sure whether it was caused or not by the Baseus 100W GaN charger, but I really don't want to risk anymore.

The original Apple 96W charger runs cooler.

(PPBus_G3H is the main power rail of the Mac. It is powered from either the battery or DC in)

I don’t trust third party chargers either.

 

[HylianKnight]

Totally agree. These chargers are always a let down with their complex and inflexible outputs. If apple puts a GaN charger out it will NOT be like these.

Apple DOES have a GaN charger out, and it functions like every other GaN charger, except it only has one port…

 

[thor48]

Is anyone else put off by that USB-A. I know I would use it because I still have many USB-A cables but I would still want 3 USB-Cs instead.

Put off indeed. We get 2022 tech over the counter and then are asked to use a decade old tech to keep it alive. Perhaps Apple should get out of the charger business completely (at least they’ve done it for a few devices). give us USB-C !

 

[thor48]

Totally agree. I will use a USB-C to Lightning….if I must have Lightning. But your point is spot on…..one type of cable please !

 

[44267547]

Apple's power adapters are dinosaurs.

…As if that has any direct effect on the reliability or a consumers decision when they purchase a device.

And when I ask this, I’m not being facetious, but…..Who cares? (<— That’s rhetorical by the way.)

What are you even talking about? What "decade old tech" are you being forced to use to keep your 2022 tech alive?

Do they? Anyway I meant the multi-port aspect, rather than GaN wrt the convoluted charging wattage distribution.

I know what I said and I stand by it.

Plugged into that one right now, it's solid

No, if it works like others, you have to remove the cable for the wattage to be freed up. The negotiation occurs when a device is connected, I don’t think it’s continual (was just looking at some PD documentation )

Then how can devices switch voltage outputs when connected?

Then how can devices switch voltage outputs when connected?

It’s a 36 (I believe, I the TI documentation yesterday, but didn’t keep the link) step process that starts with the detection of a connection, then handshake (voltage requirements), notification to other devices (if any), acknowledgement (that the new voltage is ok), and then reallocating the voltage. Then, when any new device is connected, it goes through the process again. It’s fairly quick, BUT there is a moment where the power is cut momentarily.

I promise you, it would function the same way. There is no magic stepping up or down by individual watts
