Phone companies’ decision not to ship USB-C chargers with their products is undoubtedly good for the planet, but it does mean you might need to buy one of your own.
Adding two 20-watt USB-C chargers to your collection of charging options is cheaper than you might think.
Amazon is currently offering a pack that includes two Anker 20-watt USB-C chargers for just $13, and you’ll even get two USB-C cables thrown in as well.
Getting a single charger and cable at this price would make for a good day, so getting two is impressive.
Each charger has a 20-watt USB-C port, which is enough for fast-charging even the latest iPhones.
A legacy USB-A port is also included for those who need it.
The two USB-C cables are both 5 feet long and come in an understated finish of black or white.
A CNET colleague of mine just bought these — annoyingly at a higher price — and says the chargers are well built and the included cables are perfectly fine if not particularly sturdy.
The decision by phone companies to not include USB-C chargers in their products is definitely environmentally friendly, but it does mean you may need to purchase one yourself. It’s less expensive than you might imagine to expand your selection of charging options by adding two 20-watt USB-C chargers. For just $13, you can purchase a pack on Amazon that comes with two Anker 20-watt USB-C chargers and two USB-C cords. That’s good news, but before you order, you should know that there’s a catch: to receive this special price, you must be an Amazon Prime member. Despite this, the regular price of $19 is still a great deal.
It’s a good day when you get two chargers and a cable at this price, so getting two is impressive. The 20-watt USB-C port on each charger is sufficient to fast-charge even the most recent iPhone models. For those in need, there is also a legacy USB-A port. Both of the five-foot USB-C cables are finished subtly in either white or black.
My colleague at CNET recently purchased these, albeit regrettably at a premium price. She reports that the chargers are well-made and the included cables work perfectly, though they are not very strong.
This deal is listed as a limited-time offer, so it could end at any time and without notice, even though it doesn’t require any coupons or discount codes. Keep that in mind when you’re making your purchase.
