Anker’s iPhone Charger Bundle Is Practically Buy One, Get One Free and Comes With USB-C Cables

Keep one in your car and one at home to make sure you've always got a charger ready.

The Anker iPhone Charger 2-Pack includes two 20W USB-C wall chargers and two USB-C to USB-C cables, enough hardware to cover fast charging in two rooms (or one room and a travel bag) without buying anything else. Each charger has both a USB-C port and a USB-A port, so one brick can power a phone and a pair of earbuds simultaneously from a single outlet. Apple stopped shipping wall adapters with new iPhones in 2020, which means recent iPhone buyers who haven’t picked up a fast-charge brick on their own are still topping up at the slower 5W speed older USB-A bricks deliver.

You can get the Anker iPhone Charger 2-Pack on Amazon for $12 right now, which is around 30% off the $17 list price.

A reliable set of chargers to keep your iPhone topped off

The USB-C port delivers up to 20W of output when only one device is plugged into the charger, while the USB-A port delivers up to 18W in the same scenario. Plug devices into both ports simultaneously and the total drops to 15W, split evenly between them, which works for overnight charges but slows down compared to running one device per charger when you want full speed. The USB-C side fast-charges a recent iPhone from empty to about 50% in 25 minutes, which matches the speed Apple’s old in-box 20W bricks delivered.

Both chargers come with a 5-foot USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, covering iPhone 15, 16, and 17 series phones, as well as current iPads and any Android phone built in the last few years. Older iPhones with Lightning ports still work with these chargers, but you’ll need a USB-C to Lightning cable since none come in the box. The USB-A port also supports older USB-A cables, so a USB-A-to-Lightning cable from a previous Apple charger pairs with this brick without buying anything else.

The cube design is small enough to remain plugged in without blocking the second socket. It has fixed prongs so you don’t have to worry about them folding when you insert it into a socket. Anker’s ActiveShield protection monitors temperature during charging and shuts off power when the brick gets too hot. You also get an 18-month warranty that covers hardware failures.

The Anker iPhone Charger 2-Pack’s $12 sale price knocks $5 off the $17 list price, for a 30% discount. Picking up two chargers and two USB-C cables for that price covers the basic fast-charge setup most iPhone owners need, with one brick to spare for a travel kit or a second room without buying separate cables and bricks from different vendors.
