"Does it support Quick Charge and Power Delivery fast charging protocols?+
Yes, Anker Nano supports both Quick Charge and Power Deliver protocols."
So I think this is actually the newer/better version that is fully compatible with PD
Can confirm this is not true now. After much research found the following:
"PowerIQ 3.0 is Anker's version of Quick Charge 4+. Both combine USB PD and Quick Charge 3.0 (or PowerIQ 2.0 in Anker's case) on the same USB-C port. PowerIQ 2.0 (the tech on the USB-A ports of these chargers) is Anker's version of Quick Charge 3.0. Anker's tech is mimicking Qualcomm's tech. So for the most part it is cross-compatible with Quick Charge and other similar fast charging standards."
TL;DR: PD is part of the plug.
The most important thing to note is that this plug does 9v 2.22a. This is important if you are using a magsafe charger as it would not charge at the full 15W otherwise. I just found this out reading reviews this am. This plug is fully capable of this. But if you say for a 96W apple charger with PD, even that won't give you the full 15W speed through magsafe. How crazy is that?!
Good deal, thanks for sharing OP, but this one does not support Power Delivery 3.0 (PD3.0), the Anker one sold at Best Buy does support it.
I was planning on ordering these for use with iPhones 11 and SE. Is IQ3 okay for this or would you recommend getting a charger that supports PD? I tried to google and so far I've gathered that IQ3 is propriety to Anker.
Wait this is news to me. How different is IQ from PD? I just assumed that all USB-C are PD.
Also does this support the full charging speed of the MagSafe charger? Because apparently not all USB-C chargers do ):

Its Apple, so thats not crazy at all. If they can sell you an "updated" charger for any reason, they will do so.
