Is there any news about the availability of the PD 4? It’s been listed as unavailable for quite some time now. Is this another withdrawal of the product, or just a production shortage?

Is this true??? Uses GaN (Gallium Nitride). Silicon replacement that can sustain higher voltages and less resistance. More efficient and less heat.

No, Atom PD 4 does not use GaN. However, upon original announcement, it was believed to due to the Atom branding.
Will Anker produce a GaN version of a 100W charger? I have the 60W Atom but it’s on my wish list.

I’ve a macBook Pro (15" 2017). The charger says 84 watts IIRC and my AC meter shows that it uses that much. I’d like to have a charger that can charge my iPhone or iPad and the macBook especially if it’s smaller which implies GaN, I guess. It would make my accessories pack smaller as I use the macBook at home and at work.
I thought that Anker or Amazon would send a notification when it was in stock but I didn’t receive one.

Hi Insider: Is there a reason (engineering perhaps) that the Atom PD 4 is not based on GaN?

This is a re-release of the Atom PD 4. I can’t remember exactly, but I think it may have initially been released before the GaN tech. I’d also love a smaller GaN version as the size of a passport is quite a brick.

I would love to purchase this but it’s listed as “Currently unavailable.” on Amazon right now. This entire time I thought Anker didn’t make a USB-C charger above 60W, and I was wrong! I’d love to buy this charger, as I’ll be picking up a MacBook Pro 15" (mid-2019 model) this upcoming Black Friday. I need a minimum of 87W for this laptop!

Someone at Anker must be listening, because Amazon now shows this as available starting November 6th!

I have seen this come in and out of stock usually with a quantity of 1 or 2 left when I see it. You just have bad timing trying to buy one and catch it on the site

Still curious as to why no use of GaN. I thought that was the future direction for Anker Atom PD chargers.
Hi @wswartzell, if you’re unable to order via Amazon, check out the listing on Best Buy.

Where’s this stuff in the UK? Considering other options as I have been waiting over a year for these chargers…
