Apple sells a single 20W USB-C charger without a cable for $19. Anker sells two 20W chargers with two USB-C cables for $11 right now on Amazon, and Amazon is barely making anything on the transaction. The Anker 20W USB-C Charger 2-pack is down to $11, off its $16 typical price, for two fast chargers, two 5-foot USB-C to USB-C cables, and an 18-month warranty. This deal requires Prime membership<\/strong>, and the 30-day trial runs without a card.<\/p>\n

Two chargers, two cables, less than what Apple charges for one charger without a cable<\/h2>\n

Apple\u2019s 20W USB-C Power Adapter is $19 on Apple\u2019s site without a cable. The Anker 2-pack at $11 includes two chargers and two 5-foot cables, which means the per-charger cost is $5.50 including a cable versus Apple\u2019s $19 without one. That comparison exists not because Anker is cutting corners on quality but because Apple has decided that charger hardware carries a premium that Anker hasn\u2019t. Both deliver 20W of fast charging to an iPhone, both charge an iPhone 17 or 16 to 50% in approximately 30 minutes with the appropriate cable, and both carry the necessary safety certifications for iPhone compatibility.<\/p>\n

The dual-port design handles simultaneous charging of two devices via USB-C and USB-A simultaneously without compromising the charging speed of either port, which covers the phone-and-tablet or phone-and-earbuds scenarios where a single-port charger requires choosing which device gets power. The compact design fits in a travel bag, a desk drawer, or a bedside table without taking up meaningful space, and the 5-foot cable length provides enough slack for comfortable use without the 3-foot limitation that Apple\u2019s own cables impose on desktop and bedside charging setups.<\/p>\n

Anker\u2019s proprietary safety system includes overvoltage protection, temperature control, and safeguards that protect both the charger and connected devices during charging sessions, which matters for a charger that runs continuously…<\/p>\n
