Coming Soon: PowerPort III Nano 20W

[ikari04warrior]

I like it but right now I’m still happy with my 18w charger

Your exactly right about getting more business indirectly. The quality you get from Anker that has 99% chance of being cheaper than Apple’s charger. People will flock over to get a comparable spec wise product.

In due time I can see the portless iPhone. Took awhile to get rid of the headphone jack. Then with more wireless charging power banks & wireless charging being added into more vehicles, I can see the market flip flopping.

If they can make a modest speed bump then faster is faster and why not, it helps.

But it looks from the images to be not folding pins? If true then that is the bizarre dumbest implementation as these smaller chargers are effectively double in size just for that.

Is this how the conversation went?

Engineer: here’s my new 20W Nano charger, it’s perfect! You like?
Boss: No.
Engineer: Huh? It’s perfect.
Boss: You’re not making us as much money. Listen change those pins to non-folding. Then the people who buy it, then you later make it folding pins and the buyers then buy again, so we sell twice.
Engineer: If you insist. But the Professor will not like, he’ll notice.
Boss: we have been ignoring him for years. Make the change.
Engineer: will do.

Could be worse, at least it’s a modest USBC speed bump. It isn’t:

I mean, the 18W Nano doesn’t have folding prongs either, so…

Haha, love it @professor

[professor]

If the Mini and other smaller chargers can have folding pins, then why not Nano, Nano 20W?

It’s obviously not a width or height issue as in the Mini, obviously not a depth issue as in the Slim

There are a few logical choices:
a) USA specific folding pin products, especially on the smallest chargers (12W - 30W)
b) slide-off international pin products, especially on the largest chargers (60W - 100W)
c) all non-USA chargers to be minimum of 2 sockets, and a family of options ( 2C , 1C 1A)

I get a feeling you think this should have had folding pins @professor

The 20W designation is for the upcoming iPhone 12 which will use 20W USB-C chargers.

Also with Apple planning 20W charger (there goes the dream of portless iphone)… and at least 1 other competitor having a 20W charger in similar , it is more about being in the market with similar model than progress, also gets more business indirectly with Apple publicizing about the new charger

The quality you get from Anker that has 99% chance of being cheaper than Apple’s charger. People will flock over to get a comparable spec wise product.

I like the timing of the launch… so release this week? who is watching Apple Event @ 10am

[professor]

[Shenoy]

@Duane_Lester I think you missed one “know” here

[Insider]

No, I do not know.

[Duane_Lester]

I should have knew to put the know. Lol

[ktkundy]

Nice!!! Thanks for the update!

[5V_1A]

Any updates about the PD version (not this PiQ version) rated 20W?

[ikari04warrior]

I think we will get more updates when they release the next iPhone or around that time

[Shenoy]

I think the US and EU versions may launch around / at the same time, since the EU version is already available for purchase in Asia

@professor @paulstevenewing @Insider

[paulstevenewing]

Cool.
Not sure I’ll be running out to upgrade by 18w Nanos @Shenoy
But would be nice to physically compare the two.
