It’s been a hot sec since Apple shipped new iPhones with a free charging block — all the way back to the iPhone 11, to be precise. They’re not exactly missed, especially now that the newest iPhone 18 series would definitely require more charging oomph than those tiny blocks provided. You need something more like the Anker Prime GaN wall charger, a 67W dynamo with two USB-C and one USB-A port to tackle your new phone and a laptop and another device. It’s just $35 at Amazon for a limited time, down from its usual $50 list price.
The charger is 51% smaller than the original 67W MacBook charger. A single device connected to the top USB-C port pulls a full 67W, which is enough to fast-charge a MacBook Air, a Pixelbook, or the iPad Pro at speeds that won’t have you pacing the floor waiting. When you add a second device, the two-port ceiling drops to 65W shared across whichever combination of ports you’re using, so the math stays favorable even when all three ports are occupied. The 67W output covers the new iPhone, a MacBook, and whatever else is on the desk without crowding an outlet with separate bricks.
Fast But Safe
Anker’s ActiveShield 2.0 technology ensures you’re not risking the health of your devices, monitoring temperature and adjusting output to protect connected devices. It’s the company’s version of what most GaN chargers do now, but Anker’s implementation has a longer track record than a number of competitors selling similar specs at this price. Anker’s 24-month warranty backs it up.
Compatibility covers the device list you’d expect: MacBook Pro and Air, iPhones from the 16 series and up, Samsung Galaxy S23 and S22, Google Pixel phones, iPad Pro, and Apple Watch. The last item on that list is worth calling out because Apple Watch fast charging requires USB-C, and the Anker Prime 67W has the right port for it. One block on the nightstand can handle an iPhone and an Apple Watch simultaneously, which is the kind of consolidation that makes older multi-brick setups feel as old as an 8-track.
You Bring the Cable
The Anker Prime charger doesn’t include a cable. Anker ships the block and a welcome guide, and that’s the kit. For buyers upgrading from older bricks with proprietary cables, budgeting for a USB-C cable or two is the remaining step. USB-C to USB-C cables for fast charging are widely available at this point, and Anker sells its own, but the blank space in the box is worth noting before checkout.
At the full list price of $50, the Anker Prime 67W sat at the high end of what most buyers want to pay for a wall charger. But while it’s $35 at Amazon, it becomes the perfect default for anyone who keeps a travel bag stocked with gear or is looking for the ideal wall charger for their brand-new iPhone Duo or 18.
