Yes, I just opened the package I bought last week:
On the chargers:
Anker 336 Charger (67W)
Model A2674
Anker 313 Charger (30W)
Model A2639

The 3 port 67w charger is not a GaN charger. Only the smaller one 1 port charger is a GaN charger. The way they worded it made it seem both are GaN chargers. Felt tricked, will be returning.
The model number of the big charger is "Anker 335" it is NOT the GaN Prime model. This was mention multiple times but someone else keeps trying to say it is GaN Prime.
It has been mentioned and confirmed a few times that the 67w charger is not the Gan Prime that sells in Amazon for $60

My package arrived this morning and I'm staring at a 336. Is a 336 not a GAN?
*I'll probably return mine too. Didn't see any of these labeled as GAN on the package or chargers itself.
Folks, yes 67w is overkill for an iPhone. But it will charge most laptops that support charging via USB-C port. This is a fraction of the size compared to those chargers provided with laptops. I bought a 6' USB-C cable to accompany this charger. Be sure the cable supports 100W or higher.
Can I still use it to charge phone? Is it gonna be over heat?

Yes. The phone will only draw as much power as it needs. If the phone is 15W max, it will only draw that much power, even if you plug into the 65W port.
the charger and the phone will negotiate the appropriate charging rate. 67 is the total of 3 ports also, so you may end up with 40/12/12 which may or may not be the maximum charging rate for your devices

going with a higher rated cable is not inherently bad, but this charger maxes at 3A which means that 100w is not needed.

it appears the 336 is 1/2" or more shorter than the 335 which would correlate with GAN

If you look at the pictures of the Anker 335 and 336 models, they look identical. I believe Amazon sells the 335 model and other retailers sell the 336. Here are 2 links so you can compare for yourself.
i also checked for PPS and confirmed it does have that, see pics, and i tried charging my DJI mini4pro multi battery charger to see if it would hit 30w on the small one and it did, I tried my s22u phone on both and did get SFC but did not show SFC2 because my phone is not low enough to trigger >30w draw
TLDR: this won't do it, but it kinda will. SFC2.0 requires 9V/5A, this charger is 9V/3A.
photo evidence below. SFC 2.0 will be indicated at 29W+ i did have to drain it to the point that it would take 29W + at a time, in order to trigger the display.

confirmed as a 336 in my package

I definitely think the case on the 336 is smaller than the 335, so they're not identical as the other poster suggested… but the actual charging specs do seem to be identical. Namely, check out the USB-C2 + USB-A wattage. For the GaN charger, max is 65W. For the 336 and 335, max is 24W, which to me implies heavily that it's not actually a GaN charger.
Which is unfortunate, because I was absolutely going to grab one until I saw the discrepancies pointed out.
Edit: I actually found a post on Reddit that clarifies a lot. The 336 is essentially the same as the 335 in terms of power distribution. Dimensions are 5.4 x 4.5 x 3.9cm versus 4.3 x 3.2 x 7.2cm in the 335. The release details claim it features GaN charging. The main difference between it and the GaN prime is size and power distribution. The GaN prime is smaller and will automatically adjust power available across shared ports, while the 336 (and 335) have arbitrary limits based on which ports are in use.
Target sells the 336 model and has it labeled GaN in the title description.
Guess I'll be keeping mine regardless if it's GaN or not. A little bit research shows the biggest impact of GaN is reduced size, not power delivery capability. Just looks like marketing run amok again.

Yeah, GaN itself doesn't change the power delivery, but "prime" vs not does. With the GaN prime, you can split the 65W between the two USB-C ports however you want or devices will allow. For instance, you could have a 30W device on each USB-C port. On the 336, there is a hard power limit based on which ports are used. In the same scenario, your top port is limited to 45W and bottom is limited to 22W.
May not make a difference to a lot of people, but may be important to some.

second, look at the pictures of these two. they are not the same length. look at the word anker on the side. the 336 (which is what is included) is not the same size as the 336
