![]() More efficient wireless charging is the primary selling point of MagSafe technology. ![]() With gallium nitride (GaN) technology within, the RavPower charger is able to be compact and powerful, covering most any of your charging needs handily. That means it could simultaneously charge two MacBook Airs or a 13-inch MacBook Pro and iPhone 12 at their top speeds. This is a 90W charger with two USB-C Power Delivery ports that can output a 90W charge from either port-it's enough to charge most laptops at full speed-or split that 90W between the two to charge lower-power devices at 45W each, or 60W and 30W, for instance. If you need more power, though, consider RavPower’s RP-PC128. It’ll fill up the iPhone at its (effective) maximum 18W rate and power up your Apple Watch at its standard 5W speed, which unfortunately gets no higher regardless of the charger. If you’re charging both at the same time the iPhone won’t reach the effective 18W max, but it still charges quickly at 15W. If you’re less in need of a secondary iPad or laptop charger and more the type who just needs to keep their iPhone and Apple Watch or headphones charged, the PowerPort PD 2 is a good answer for simpler fast charging. Only the 45W USB-C port has enough power to charge the iPhone 12 at full speed, but charging via the 15W USB-A will still get the job done faster than the typical 5W iPhone charger. Pumping out 45W through the USB-C port and 15W through USB-A, this charger can power up an M1 MacBook Air or iPad Pro while simultaneously juicing up your iPhone or Apple Watch. If you’d like something capable of charging an iPhone, iPad, or USB-C-enabled laptop alongside a lower-power USB-A device, the PowerPort Atom III is a great choice for the money. And if you need a spare USB-C to Lightning cable, we can vouch for Anker’s six-foot PowerLine II lightning cables as a reliable way to extend your phone’s reach. ![]() The company uses its proprietary Power IQ 3.0 charging technology, not the more standardized USB-C Power Delivery, but it still safely and reliably puts out the highest possible charge rate for iPhones (in this case, up to 20W). The Nano is the same size as Apple’s old 5W chargers and undercuts the price of Apple’s first-party 20W charger by a few bucks, despite being just as powerful and more compact. Similarly, a shorter charge period on the 20W Nano will get the battery further along than the old 5W charger: Thirty minutes of charging will take you to about 50 percent, whereas the 5W model barely gets to 20 percent. That's an appreciable upgrade over the puny 5W output from Apple’s pre-iPhone 11 chargers, which took around three and a half hours to get the job done, and reaches the iPhone 12's fastest charging rates. Pairing your included USB-C charging cable with Anker’s 20W Nano adapter, for instance, can cut your charging time in half, taking about 90 minutes to get from zero percent charge to 100 percent in our testing.
