Yeah but post the link to the actual product page. Copy that "shop now" button link and put it here.
Also i'd bet my left arm that all Ankers USB-C chargers will do 18w on the new iPhones PD or not, they all support 9v at 2amp which is all the iPhone needs and will negotiate.
I originally did, until I found out it wasn't to spec. The link went straight to Amazon.
I'm sure there are other chargers out there that make those numbers. But if they're not in USB-PD spec, they aren't USB-PD and likely won't fast charge an iPhone or iPad "properly," which again would just be the equivalent to plugging your phone into an iPad brick.
So is it or isn't it a USB-A PD device? To me it looks like a typo in the e-mail, send me the bloody link so I can look at the specs myself!!
And again, I don't think PD is going to matter - I'm almost certain all USB-C devices capable of 9v at 2amp will "fast charge" the iPhone.
The iPad Pro's don't follow PD spec properly anyway, they do weird stuff which is why the 29w charger is out of spec and the USB-C Lightning cable is so expensive.
lol, the product page on Amazon would have me believe that it is not USB-PD and that the email was a typo. Link incoming.
Right as I suspected then, there's no such thing as USB-A PD. It's a USB-C thing.
I'd only care about PD when you're powering devices over 20w anyway, anything under it is going to use the 9v/2a standard and do most things easily.
That was for the wireless charging to go from 5w to 7.5w and is happening in 11.2
USB A does use USB PD. It just uses the lowest level of PD at 5 volts.
If you are pulling more than 1.5A @ 5V with Type A then you are going into USB PD specs.
the problem is that now people associate "PD" as meaning "fast charging". there are also other issues like charging standards that aren't following USB spec like "Quickcharge".

It's only been implemented (AFAIK) on USB-C. Their spec sheet doesn't mention a connector, USB-A, -C, or otherwise, anywhere:

So you're half right, but distilling it down to it being "a USB-C thing" is misleading.
It's really not. There's no need to complicate this already complex (for some people) issue. USB-C PD, end of. Nothing else exists to carry up to 100w along a single cable, it's only for a USB-C connector.
Its a USB 3.1 Gen 2 specification - which runs on USB-C connectors.
As far as I know, every iPhone comes with the boring 5W Charger, which is very slow. I’ve been using the 10W Charger that came with my 3rd gen iPad for the past 5 years.
15 minutes is a lot when you're talking in car charging. In the car is where you likely need it most. That extra speed allowed by USB-C is well worth it for many of us.
So, what does this all mean, fast charging experts.
What is the least expensive combo for "true" iphone enabled fast charging in the car and at home.
Is it only USB-C for "true" fast charging.
Ready to order some speed.......

So many bad USB-C devices out there.

Looks like it will fast charge iPhone 8/8 Plus/X and not iPad Pro 12.9" (2015) or iPad Pro (2017).

I'd go with a well known company.

Most are going to provide 5V which is what you need along with the higher wattage.

Here ya go. This is what I got. Tronsmart 30W Dual that has USB-C along with a USB 3.0 port. Nice so you can use either the USB-C for fast charging but still have the option to connect other devices with USB 3.0 in situations when maybe a friend is riding along.

Perhaps he meant the 24W Anker with two USB-A ports?
It's interesting that there isn't much discussion of the consequences of fast-charging on overall battery performance.
Im a tad bit confused. I thought regardless of what companies advertised the wattage of their chargers *like this car charger for example is 36W* Ive read the iPhone caps the wattage at 12W even if its higher? Or does this only apply to wireless fast charge?
