Apple’s official Lightning cables have received a lot of flack over the years for how poorly they hold up to prolonged wear and tear, making third-party MFi offerings a go-to for many.

Three downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports provide a maximum 15 watts of power and can “transfer a 20GB file in just over 10 seconds.” And for those one-off situations when you need USB-A, a 3.1 Gen 2 port is also made available.

Anker has been around for years, offering everyday essential accessories for iPhones, Android devices, Macs, and PCs. So when Anker introduced its first Thunderbolt 3 dock, you better believe that it got our attention. There is no shortage of USB-C docks on the market today, adding a few extra I/O ports to your setup. However, making the jump to Thunderbolt 3 contracts the number of offerings notably.

While Anker is most often known for its affordable smartphone accessories, occasionally it will depart from the usual with some higher-end offerings. We’ve loved their security cameras and projectors in the past, which can retail for as much as $500, but today’s review departs in a new way. Anker has introduced a $100 Special Edition USB-C to Lightning Cable, which packs one particularly notable feature. A 24K gold casing.

When it comes to portable power devices, Anker is one of the most well-known names. They’re often at or near the top for recommended power packs. One of their newer lines though, the PowerCore III Sense 10k, offers a fresh design along with Anker’s beloved quality and feature set. Coming in four colors, the Sense portable charger comes in at $49.99, is a slim 10,000mAh battery that can deliver up to 18W power delivery for today’s latest devices. Check out the video below to see more of it in action.
Anker is back at it with two new portable power banks, both with 18W USB-C Power Delivery charging, and both with 10,000mAh capacities.

Anker released a bevy of new products to close 2019 and open the new year, highlighted by a trio of low-profile chargers for any situation. We’ve already gone hands-on with the PowerPort Atom PD 4 and the smaller Atom III wall chargers. Today, we’re turning our attention to the middle-ground, and final new release, in this series: the PowerPort Atom III Slim 4-port desktop charger. At around $50, it fills the gap between slower portable power stations and more robust alternatives. Head below to find out this sleek 4-port 65W charger handles when put through the paces.
The second-half of 2019 saw Anker release several compelling charging solutions for today’s modern devices. We recently went hands-on with the brand’s 100W PowerPort Atom PD 4, which is arguably the best charger on the market in 2020. However, today we’re looking at something a bit more travel-friendly. Anker’s PowerPort Atom III Slim wall charger arrives with an uber-portable design and 30W USB-C charging speeds.
While there are plenty of portable chargers that push this type of USB-C output on the market today, Anker has nailed a few key elements on the Atom III Slim. First and foremost is the low-profile design that’s comparable to a credit card in size. Head below for a few quick hands-on thoughts and more.
Anker recently introduced its new PowerPort Atom PD 4, its latest desktop charger that pushes 100W of power across two USB-C and two USB-A ports. Just a few years ago, this type of power supply was mostly uncalled for, but throughout 2019, it became apparent that more juice was required for most modern setups. Apple, in particular, sets this standard by shipping a 96W USB-C wall charger with its 16-inch MacBook Pro. I’ll dive into the value proposition later, but it’s clear that Anker’s new PowerPort Atom PD 4 deserves your attention if you need a secondary charging solution. Full hands-on details below.

Not long after eufyCam 2 made its rounds, yet another Anker security camera has debuted.

This specific offering is sold in a two-camera bundle that’s paired with a HomeBase Station intended to keep recordings secure, on-site, and private. Continue reading for further details and to see how you can shave $40 off its list price.
When it comes to screen size, there’s no doubt that projectors tend to offer the best bang for your buck when compared with TVs. This further compounds when opting for Anker’s value-conscious Nebula projectors and even more so when jumping in on the company’s Kickstarter campaigns. The latest of which includes Nebula Cosmos and Cosmos Max, 1080p, and 4K HDR10 offerings that both run Android, opening them up to a whole slew of apps.
After being teased as a HomeKit partner back at WWDC in June, Anker has today announced a new security camera lineup packing Apple’s smart home seal of approval. The EufyCam2 arrives as a follow-up to the brand’s popular and affordable offerings with a simple design and a new base station. While HomeKit secure video has been slow to roll-out, it’s becoming more mainstream as Arlo announced further compatibility with its Ultra cameras gaining this functionality yesterday. Anker’s pairing with Apple shows just how far the brand has come in a few short years. After making waves with its affordable line of smartphone accessories at Amazon, Anker has become a significant player in the consumer technology space, and its introduction of HomeKit-enabled cameras takes that even further.

This could not be more clear with its strikingly close resemblance to Ring Floodlight. So how does it compare? Continue reading to learn more and find out how to unlock a 25% savings.

Before Apple’s keynote event this month, there was a lot of anticipation building around whether or not a new USB-C wall charger would ship with the latest iPhones. Well, it came and went, and only select models scored an upgraded wall charger. iPhone 11 remains stuck in the past with a slow 5W USB-A charger, while higher-end Pro models shipped with a faster and modern USB-C power block. That leaves us with the Anker PowerPort III Nano. Described as the “world’s smallest USB-C wall charger” it packs more value and importance than ever before. I’ve been checking it out for a few weeks now following its announcement earlier this month. Head below for some quick thoughts and comparisons with Apple’s own first-party offerings.
Anker just released its brand-new PowerCore Slim 10000 PD battery bank in Midnight Green.

On top of that, you’ll find the usual selection of built-in streaming services that have become commonplace for Anker’s projectors. Hit the jump to learn more along with a deal for $50 off the launch price.
While attention may be on Apple’s Keynote address today, Anker has quietly introduced its latest USB-C wall charger which has one of the smallest designs we’ve seen to date. The PowerPort III Nano packs 18W of power in what the brand is calling the “world’s smallest” currently available on the market. Anker is known for its wide range of consumer technology and accessories, but while its efforts have been spread to multiple categories in recent years, the brand’s smartphone-focused line is still its bread and butter. Head below for more on the latest release from Anker.
Anker is probably best known for their portable charging accessories, speakers and cables. But earlier this year Anker released a new bedside device that combines a few of these features into one.

Today’s news is a follow-up to the previous generation model announced earlier this year, which both packed an additional USB port and a higher price tag. Hit the jump for more.
It’s been months since AirPower was abruptly cancelled by Apple, but the inspiration of the wireless charging pad continues to live on. Other competitors have been introducing their own alternatives. That includes Anker. And with many other options out there, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to stand out from the pack. Months after introducing its PowerWave+ charging base, Anker is back with a new version called the PowerWave 10 Dual Pad. Its $60 price tag and a huge name like Anker standing behind it make this a particularly intriguing option as we go forward sans an official solution from Apple. Head below to learn more about Anker’s latest announcement and how it stands out amongst a crowded field of competitors.
Anker, purveyors of all things power and portable, have finally come full circle by introducing a line of actual batteries in both AA and AAA sizes. While it seems like the Amazon powerhouse would’ve made this move years ago, it has chosen to focus on just about every other category in the accessory space, rolling out a wide-range stable of products. Sadly, Anker skipped going the rechargeable route which is a disappointment overall. That said, hopefully dipping their toes into the water here will ultimately deliver the goods that our green energy fanbase here at 9to5 can embrace. Head below for more, including a deal on both of Anker’s new AA and AAA batteries.
Anker has been keeping busy lately. Prior to today’s release of Anker PowerPort Atom III, the company had debuted two preceding devices in 2019. One of which that sports two USB-C ports and another with four outputs that offer a combined total of 100W charging.
What makes Anker PowerPort Atom III interesting is the implementation of the company’s new PowerIQ 3.0 technology. It outputs a total of 60W across two ports, USB A and C with the unique ability to support all fast-charging protocols. Identification is automatic, taking place without no interaction required from users.
Today Anker has announced the second generation of its USB-C to Lightning cables, officially dubbed Powerline II. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Anker has been using this moniker to name its popular line of connectivity for quite some time. With support for up to 87W of power at a time, these cables can be used with any of Apple’s in-house chargers and most options on the market today. More details below.
Over the last few years, USB-C has become much more prevalent than when Apple initially rolled it out on its MacBook lineup. Not only will you find it on nearly every modern Android phone, you’ll also see it on Chromebooks and the latest PCs. Anker’s upcoming PowerPort Atom PD 2 will make USB-C life a little bit easier thanks to two powerful ports built into one AC adapter.
Atom PD 2 will join Anker’s recently-released PD 1, and impressive PD 4 in a few days, with ports smart enough to power two devices and automatically prioritize which one needs it most.
