It is unfortunate for those who want to fast charge, but people with existing bricks who are iPhone users will likely also have USB A to lightning cables and those coming from Android will likely have USB-C bricks.I’m still so salty they duped us with the bricks. “Yeah you have 300 of these laying around we need to protect the environment and more importantly cut costs.”
Meanwhile they transition to usb-c cables and all 300 of my bricks are usb-a and so I’ve not yet fast charged my iPhone or watch because I’m don’t want to pay for a new one. Which is on me but how can you sell it as “you’ve got ten iPhone generations worth of bricks at home” and then change the port. It’s frustrating.
Exactly. Apple had the opportunity to add an extra USB-C port on their MacBook chargers. Made sense to allow people charge their iDevices at the same time. But Apple didn’t do it. In the end, profits trump everything. Trillion dollar valuation doesn’t come out of nowhere.Putting more than 1 port on a power adapter is a no-brainer, but then again this is Apple. Why sell customers 1 power adapter when you can sell them 2 at twice the price?
I do too. Still wish it was smaller for taking when traveling though.I useAnkerRAVpower GaN multi-port USB-C/USB-A chargers. Great for having around the house and while traveling.
It very well could be, but even then it's such a random combo of items it would be designed for. Between an iPhone, iPad (4 different models), Apple Watch and AirPods (3 different models), this one 35W charger can't be a jack-of-all-trades. Pick up a 65W dual or triple port charger on Amazon for 1/2 the price of this Apple charger (guessing).Offhand, I am thinking of the apple products that don’t come with their own charging bricks (namely the iphone and Apple Watch). We know the magsafe duo isn’t able to fast-charge the series 7 either, so I wonder if this is a way for consumers to get fast charging for both their iPhone and Apple Watch, so users only need to buy 1 charging brick rather than 2 separate 20-w chargers.
That’s just my theory, at least.

Switched over to this beauty. Works perfect and its not Apple which is a benefit nowadays. Charges also my Jabra earpods and no Apple tax included.

Yeah, no apple tax there, just $150 ?
It looks really nice and now on my radar.Exactly. I saw the picture he posted and thought it might be around $60 and then I did a quick search and saw the real price.
All that being said, it looks about what Apple would charge for something like that. I’m looking to tidy up my desk a bit and I could use this to do just that lol. But it is still a steep price to pay for a charging dock.
True, but a travel adapter for more than one thing is a better solution for most people.This one supports replacing the plug with versions for other countries.. the Anker does not
That explains why when I search for RAVpower I still see some of their products but they are unlabeled. Do you know what happened there?It doesn't say RavPower because they were banned from Amazon, but it is.
RAVpower's 90W dual USB-C charger currently selling for USD27 (with coupon) is a good charger as well. It can power my MBP at full power when plugged in by itself and somewhat less if I also plug my phone into it, too. Because it is smaller than Apple's own MBP charger and has dual ports, it is also a good travel companion.I do too. Still wish it was smaller for taking when traveling though.
Haven't found a use case unless you are taking a curling iron or blow dryer.True, but a travel adapter for more than one thing is a better solution for most people.
No one is buying Apple’s chargers? Interesting. What’s your source for that?Even Apple has to feel the pressure when everyone has multiport chargers and no one is buying the Apple ones.
Kind of a what-if scenario, also a bit of hyperbole. IF most people buy a non-Apple charger, THEN Apple will feel pressure. And it’s not that literally no one will be buying Apple’s chargers.No one is buying Apple’s chargers? Interesting. What’s your source for that?
