Apple charges $19 for its official 20W USB-C charger with no cable included which makes this 2-pack look absolutely insane in comparison. This Black Friday bundle on Amazon drops to an all-time low of $11 from the usual $18 and includes two 20W Anker chargers (and two ports on each) plus two 5-foot USB-C to USB-C cables. You’re getting everything you need to fast charge two devices for less than what Apple charges for a single bare charger.
Anker earned its reputation by making products for charging that match or exceed official manufacturer specifications while costing a good deal less. The fact that Apple sells Anker products in their own retail stores tells you everything about the quality and reliability.

20W Fast Charging That Matches Apple’s Specs
The 20W output provides the fastest charging speed available for the iPhone 15/16/17 series phones over USB-C Power Delivery. Your phone charges from zero to 50% in about 30 minutes which also happens to be exactly what you get from an Apple-issued charger. The charging speed behaves the same across all supported devices including iPads and even Samsung Galaxy phones, or whatever device utilizes USB-C PD charging. Anker uses the same charging protocols that Apple has put in place, so your device cannot tell any difference between this charger and an official Apple unit.
Each of these chargers includes both a USB-C and a USB-A port which work simultaneously for charging up to two devices from a single wall outlet. The dual-port design lets you fast-charge your iPhone via USB-C while topping up your AirPods or Apple Watch via the USB-A port. Both ports remain active at the same time without reducing charging speed on either device, eliminating the frustration of choosing which device charges first.
This compact form factor measures in smaller than Apple’s official charger while it outputs the same amount of power. Anker managed to shrink the size by using more efficient component layout and modern charging circuitry. When stored in bags or pockets, the folding prongs keep the profile slim, flipping out with ease when you need to plug in. It features a black finish that looks professional and fits well with most devices and surroundings.
The Anker MultiProtect safety system offers overvoltage protection, temperature control, current regulation, and short-circuit prevention. The safety features continuously monitor charging and automatically shut down in the event of an anomaly. Temperature control prevents overheating in case of long use, thus protecting both the charger and your devices. The overvoltage protection means that your devices never get more power than they can safely handle to avoid voltage spikes that result in battery damage.
The 18-month warranty is a back-up assurance for Anker’s confidence, and their customer service responds promptly to issues without requiring proof of receipts for purchases or complicated return processes.
For $11, this Black Friday bundle is less expensive than an individual official Apple charger without any cable. You get certified charging gear from a brand in good enough standing for Apple to sell the products in their own stores, including the same degree of safety and build quality as the official option.
