In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, device manufacturers now often don’t include chargers when buying new phones. It’s good for the planet, but the lack of a USB-C charger does mean you’ll most likely need to buy one for yourself. It doesn’t cost a lot, though, and right now, you can get Two Anker 20-watt USB-C chargers for just $13. Amazon also includes two USB-C cables, so you’ll have everything you need to get up and running. What’s the gain? This offer is only available on the black version, and even then you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the discount. Fortunately, Amazon offers a 30-day trial If you want to try Prime membership for free.
It’s a great deal to get just one charger and cable at this price, so getting two is impressive. Each charger has a 20-watt USB-C port, which is fast enough to charge even the latest iPhones. There’s also a traditional USB-A port for those who need it, meaning you can charge multiple devices at once. Both USB-C cables are 5 feet long.
