Apple shipped the iPhone 18 Pro without a charger in the box, as it has done with every iPhone since 2020 but Amazon has the fix: The Ugreen Nexode 65W 3-port GaN charger is down to $23, off its $39 standard price and 40% off during early Prime Deals, for a foldable-plug GaN II charger with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port that simultaneously charges a MacBook Air to 51% in 30 minutes while handling a phone and a third device at the same time. Not free, but close enough to pocket change that the discussion is essentially over.
65W GaN for every device the iPhone 18 Pro owner probably also carries
The Ugreen Nexode’s 65W maximum output covers the full charging speed of the MacBook Air M4 at single-port connection, which is the laptop that most iPhone 18 Pro owners likely also carry. The two USB-C ports and one USB-A port handle three simultaneous charging connections, which covers the iPhone 18 Pro, a MacBook Air, and an iPad or Apple Watch without a separate charger for each device. GaN II technology runs more efficiently than the silicon chargers that Apple shipped in the box before 2020, producing less heat at high wattage and allowing the entire unit to be 50% smaller than a standard 61W USB-C charger while delivering more power.
The foldable plug design removes the protruding prongs that standard chargers use, which makes the Ugreen flat enough to slide into a laptop bag pocket without the plug snagging on the fabric or breaking off under pressure in a packed bag. For the iPhone 18 Pro owner who travels with a MacBook Air, an iPad, and a phone and was previously carrying three separate chargers, the single Ugreen at $23 replaces all three from one wall outlet with one device that costs less than a single Apple charger for a single device.
Compatibility covers the full range of current Apple hardware including iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 17 series, MacBook Pro M4, MacBook Air M4, iPad Pro M4, Apple Watch, and AirPods, alongside Samsung Galaxy S26 and S25 series, Google Pixel 10 series, Dell XPS, HP Spectre, Lenovo Yoga, Microsoft Surface, Steam Deck, and Nintendo Switch. The GaN safety system handles temperature regulation and overcurrent protection for all connected devices simultaneously.
Pocket change during Early Prime Deals, while Apple charges the opposite
Apple’s own 20W USB-C power adapter is $19 for a single port without a cable and its 67W USB-C Power Adapter is $49 for a single port without a cable. The Ugreen Nexode at $23 delivers 65W across three ports with a foldable plug in a form factor 50% smaller than Apple’s equivalent single-port charger, at less than half the price of Apple’s closest single-port alternative. The iPhone 18 Pro launched days ago without a charger in the box. Amazon is selling the three-port GaN solution for pocket change during Early Prime Deals, which is the specific combination of timing and pricing that makes the fix cost less than the problem Apple created by removing chargers from the box five years ago.
The charger works with 240V input for international travel without a voltage converter, and the universal compatibility covers every USB-C and USB-A device in the household without a separate travel adapter for non-Apple devices. Dynamic temperature sensors adjust output in real time to protect connected devices, which matters for a charger running three devices simultaneously at maximum output.
