Anker has released a new 60W PowerPort Atom III charger that uses gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors instead of silicon. This allows for a charger that is 35% smaller.
Our most advanced charging technology ever charges virtually any device at its fastest possible speed. PowerIQ 3.0 provides full-speed charging with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge and USB-C Power Delivery for phones, tablets, laptops, and more.
Features: ● Universal High-Speed: From your MacBook, to your Samsung Galaxy phone, to your Nintendo Switch, and so much more—PowerPort Atom III 60W charges it all at the fastest possible speed. ● Travel Ready: Equipped with a foldable plug and a super-compact design that’s 35% smaller than a 60W MacBook charger. ● Greater with GaN: By being the first charging brand ever to swap out silicon for super-efficient gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors, we’ve been able to take our signature technology and shrink it way down.
Compatible with: ● Phones: iPhone XS / XS Max / XR / X / 8 Plus / 8 / 7 / 7 Plus / 6 Samsung Galaxy S10 / S10e / S10+ /S9 / S9+ / S8 / S8+ / Note 9 / Note 8 Huawei P10 / Mate 9 / Mate 20X / Mate 20 Pro; LG G7 / V30+, Google Pixel / Pixel 3XL / 3 / 2XL / 2, Nexus 5X / 6P, Sony XZ2 Premium, Sony XZ3, and more
● Tablets iPad Pro 12.9''/ iPad Pro 10.5'' / iPad Pro 11'' Note: Use a USB-C to Lightning cable for Power Delivery fast charging for iPad models earlier than 2018, and all compatible iPhones.
● Laptops MacBook Air 13'' (2018) / MacBook 12'' / MacBook Pro 13'' / MacBook Pro 15'' / Spectre x360 / Yoga 720, and Xiaomi Air. and More
The PowerPort Atom III 60W charger costs $39.99 but currently you can get it for 10% off by clipping a coupon on its Amazon product page.
This charger sucks big. Had 2. And both had a false contact in the moving plug. I have to place it in certain way until it makes good contact in the inner side of the charger.
Google this charger failing.
Update: my mistake. Turns out the connection is USB C type 3, not USB 3.1 or even USB 3.0 (with the new connector). With the USB name switch, it’s difficult parsing simple claims now.
It lists a whole slew of iPhones it supports, but doesn’t bother mentioning whether it comes with a USB C to lightning cable, as it’ll be worthless without one. Also, all that juice, and you can only charge ONE device at a time? Who the heck only carries a single device?
