Nice one @Insider
Thanks for keeping us in the loop
Just have to wait and see when it lands on amazon.co…uk
[New Release] PowerPort Atom III 63W Slim Now Available!
Sure, there is still a lot of progress to be made, but at least this is better than what you originally speculated.
Josh, thanks for reminding me of my earlier speculation.
The method of turning ports on/off/on is technically simply, you force a negotiation and sniff out.
The downside is the user sees power come / go / return so it’s a user education issue, not a technical issue.
My ask? We just have a side conversation with Anker how to do this, even if only we’re given a set of options of what Anker can make, and we give feedback. I’m not asking for too-difficult or expensive ideas, just ideas and we tune to make a product at a price the market will tolerate.
Maybe I’m unique, but can we get a 4+ port charger with (nearly) all USB-C? I’d love to have a 4 ports of USB-C or more since everything I have is TB3/USB-C or lightning. I would pay extra for something with one 63W and a few 18W but all USB-C. As of now, I have to bring extra cables to connect iPhones, Apple Watch, Airpods, and USB-A/USB-mini for odd charges to connect to charger (USB-A) or MacBook Pro (USB-C).
I want to move on with life and go all USB-C. (I’ll keep one USC-C to USB-A/HDMI/Ethernet/SD for odd needs)
Many people have been asking Anker to develop a charger with at least three USB-C ports for quite some time now; you are definitely not alone. So far, nothing has been unveiled.
Glad it’s not just me. :)
You’ll probably have to wait a while lol

Thanks for the update. I’ll probably wait for a good sale
Need sale, too much
Thanks for the heads-up @Insider
anyone planning on PowerPort III 63W Slim should wait for sometime to overcome that shipping fee
Thanks for the update I’m going to wait a little cause I have a feeling it will go on sale in a little and that’s probably when I’ll jump on it
It’s often like this at the start, just wait, usually only days.
Free shipping and 18% discount is usually within 2 weeks and sometimes just a day’s wait. I think it’s related to Fulfilled by Amazon FBA warehouse stocks, just wait for the shipping to FBA.
Thanks @Insider
And for those that may have missed it, it landed on Amazon.co.uk recently too.
Good catch… Heads-up for UK folks!
Anyone else recently see this product jump up in price or just me
I recommend taking screenshot to track actual. You can auto backup screenshots in Google photos. RRP is not a fixed number.
I actually want this product, my experience 2 weeks ago in hospital just added a reason where a desk charger solves robustly a common need of tablet+phone+Powercore+buds where the socket is far away. A 5ft C8 cord and a 6ft USB-C cable gets me to 11ft, and I found I was still using Powercore to robustly handle no power, so two 18W USBC ports.
I noticed it has not been discounted whatsoever, implying it is has a low supply/demand ratio, it has been in stock for next-day delivery and no reviews, implying low stocks. Typically I’d expect 18% discount in first couple of weeks, not yet. Supply just needs to wait for a factory to make a big batch and then ship to FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) warehouse to then permit the discount.
Manufacturing capacity issue? Just wait…
