Word on the street is that Apple won’t be including a wall charger with their new iPhone 12 devices, but they’ll likely be selling an optional new 20W fast-charger. iPhone 12 buyers now have a choice to make: spend at least $30 on an Apple-branded 20W block, or take a look at the less expensive offerings from other companies. If you want one of the smallest fast-chargers available without paying Apple prices, a great choice would be the 20W Anker Power Port III Nano.
The 20W Anker Power Port III Nano is the same size as the 5W Apple charger most of us are used to seeing come with our phones. But instead of a stingy 5W USB Type-A port, it has a single USB Type-C PD port that offers a high-speed charge of up to 20W to charge your iPhone 8, 11, or 12 series up to 50% in just 30 minutes, which is three times faster than that outdated 5W stock charger. Measuring 1.18″ long by 1.08″ tall by 1.08″ thick, the Anker Nano is small and unassuming, but it packs a powerful punch.
You’ll be able to pick the 20W Anker Power Port III Nano up for $19.99 from Amazon.
