Anker is primarily known for its chargers and power banks, but the tech accessory manufacturer makes so much more than that. They provide reliable yet reasonably price alternatives for a ton of stuff that you’d be paying an arm and a leg for going directly to Apple, and they also have neat little tech peripherals you may not have know you have a need for until you see it first hand. This is one of those. The Anker USB-C to HDMI adapter can let you duplicate your view from a phone or other device onto a second display. Plus, right now, Amazon has it on sale for 24% off. Typically you would find this selling for $17, but the discount ends up taking it down by $4. That’s not much, but it certainly is better to pay less than more and this deal means you’ll only have to pay $13 for a limited time.
Plug and Play
The Anker USB-C to HDMI adapter is simple in its construction. It’s got a male end of a USB-C cable on one end and a female end of an HDMI on the other. Nothing else to it. Simply plug in your phone to the USB-C and then plug in an HDMI cable to the other end. Plug the other end of that HDMI cable into a TV or monitor and presto. You’ll now be able to duplicate your display from your phone onto the big screen, now displaying in up to 4K resolution at 60 Hz. The adapter will support any iPhone from after Apple made the jump from its proprietary Lightning cable to USB-C.
An accessory like this can be super helpful during presentations where you are demoing some sort of phone-based workflows to a large group or just be a handy way to get Netflix, YouTube, or some other steaming app to a TV. I’ve once stayed at an Airbnb where a friend had a similar adapter. This saved us from having to log into the Roku TV that was there which is risky.
Anker’s adapter for USB-C to HDMI is constructed with premium materials. The ends are made with a lightweight aluminum casing which allows for great heat dissipation. The cable connecting the two ends has also been reinforced with a braided nylon to help it withstand tons of twists and tugs it might experience over its lifetime. Even if all that doesn’t hold up for you, worry not. Anker has an 18 month warranty on the adapter.
