This is the reason I only use apple chargers for charging everything.
- jorvi 3y agoThere are much higher quality chargers (and cables) than Apple's. Anker is well known, and Baseus is getting there. They are especially nice because they make GaN chargers, putting a lot of power in a tiny package. It honestly kind of baffles me how crappy Apple's cables and chargers are when they simultaneously make one of the best USB-C to 3.5mm DACs on the market, and then sell it for $10.
- shermantanktop 3y agoAnker has been surprisingly good. I worried they were a Chinese faux brand but everything I’ve gotten has been solid and well made.
- jorvi 3y agoThe Chinese are definitely capable of producing great products, it's just that the quality control for that is only there for name- / high-end- / West-controlled brands. I believe the Chinese government is keen to get rid of the crappy reputation Chinese products carry ("Chinesium"), but its gonna be a process.
- yonatan8070 3y agoI recently got a 67W PD changer from Toocki on AliExpress, it actually delivers enough power to charge my laptop (via a USB-C to barrel jack adapter) reliably, and for 12$ I originally thought there was no way these work as advertised, but I saw a guy I know using one to charge his laptop, and he has the engineering knowledge to properly test it so I decided to go with his recommendation
- homefree 3y agoAre they as high quality? I’ve seen the Apple charging hardware breakdowns and they pack a ton of stuff in there.
- fomine3 3y agoMy anecdote is that Baseus adapter seems to broke my AirPods. Anker is now considered to the best charger brand available in the market.
