Many on this forum demand an all USB-C multi-port charger with high wattage. I'm a realist that still sees a use case for at least 1 or at most 2 USB-A ports that each port can output 12W at the same time.
I already have an Anker 60W 10-port USB-A charger for charging iPhones, Apple Watch, AirPods, Kindles, older iPads, etc.
What I’ve been missing is a multi-port charger for USB-C devices (laptops, iPP 12.9, iPP 11, Air 4 & mini 6).
Yeah, that’s the closest one. But I’ll have to consider either buying that one, or just use the stock chargers I have around, by buying a electrical multiplier (sorry I don’t know the word in english, splitter maybe?). To be honest, at this moment my only devices that need a charger are: An iPhone, an iPad, and my Beats. The AirPods too, but those only need a charge once every week or so, I don’t use them too much.If you’re referring to this, I think the 2nd USB-C port provides 18W max so it won’t deliver higher wattage.

6W per USB-A port? I'd look for a 120W 10-port USB-A charger for your devices etc.
Typical price fir Satechi multiport chargers. Compared with cheaper ones you get what you pay for.Meh. I mean yes I get GaN chargers have a great power/volume ratio, but $120 seems overpriced IMO. Would be probably worth half of that in 6-12 months
Thats not to say it isn't compatible with 3.1 (it surely is), but that you want features defined in 3.1 that this charger doesn't have.But this is not compatible with the new USB-IF Power Delivery 3.1 standard. I'll wait until a real PD 3.1 charger becomes available later in 2022.
This comment doesn't make sense. This charger doesn't come with cables and the cables that come with an iPhone these days are USB-C to Lightning. This will work just fine.Would be nice if the iPhone had USB-C too.
But once Apple finally starts making iPhones with USB-C Apple will act like it's some new and awesome invention and they'll pride themselves on how "we listen to our customers"...yep, they listen, mhmm...
Have you purchased one of their devices? I was sucked into the gorgeous design and spent a couple of hundred pounds (imported to the UK from San Diego, US) on some of their devices. After getting banned from Apple Insider for commenting on my views about the charger I'll try and minimise any damage to their image and keep it simple... buy them on Amazon and then you can easily return them!Typical price fir Satechi multiport chargers.

Not grounded (3 wire) like the corded MacBook chargers.
Pass for me as the buzzing electrical noise is a deal breaker.
Satechi says that the charger includes CE and ETL certifications for safe charging for all connected devices.
Well I dont know about all that. But quite simply my MacBook Pro buzzes when I touch it and it's plugged into two prongs. Find it annoying and distracting.Grounding isn't such a huge issue. The neutral and ground are tied together in the mains circuit box after all...
Grounding was mainly for shock protection. When enclosures started being more plastic, user shock potential became harder to achieve. Coupled with arc-fault protection, if available, people are better protected. *shrug*
EDIT: It has:
If I had to redo my charger purchases I’d follow what you’re doing.I don’t think I’ve ever actually plugged in more than 6 devices at the same time. Primary reason I got 10 ports is so I can just leave various cable types permanently plugged in to the charger.
Besides, for overnight charging 5W is enough.

It's weird that the issue exists and current albeit a small amount flowing into me via the aluminum chassis.
While it's clearly not a safety issue, it make me unhappy enough to avoid.
Yes. USB-C PD auto-negotiates the correct amount of power that the peripheral device needs to charge.Can I safety charge the Airpods Case with this?
