Why does the ad make it look like it attaches like a Magsafe charger, when it doesn't?

Traditional USB charges at 5V. USB "PD" is for "power delivery" and can deliver up to 48V. This is how laptops etc can charge with any kind of speed over USB. To deliver these higher voltages, there's a handshake between the device and charger. If you were in a marketing department, you could say that your charger "recognizes your iPhone" so that it can charge at these higher speeds. ...so afaik ALL PD chargers "recognize your iPhone"

Community Reviews

Anker's Nano 45W charger stands out for its smart display, which can identify newer iPhones, show battery status, wattage, and temperature, and adjust charging behavior for supported Apple devices. The compact GaN design is smaller than some competing 45W and 70W chargers, and the teardown details confirm USB PD and PPS support. The main knocks are the single port, higher price for the screen, and reports that the display is hard to see when plugged in behind furniture. It also draws idle power and the battery percentage readout is limited to iPhone 15 and newer, making it a niche pick for display-focused charging.

  • The charger can query supported iPhones over USB PD and display the phone model and battery status information.

  • The screen can show battery percentage and related details on iPhone 15 and newer devices.

  • The charger may support USB PD negotiation with multiple fixed power profiles and PPS ranges.

  • The charging behavior can ramp to higher speeds when the phone is nearly dead and then slow as charge rises.

  • The smart display and identification features provide limited detail for non-Apple devices.

    MozartASeekingDealsLikeYou

  • The charger can draw high idle power when left plugged in, which may be undesirable for always-on setups.

  • The battery percentage display may not work on Android devices or older iPhones, even though fast charging can still reach 45W.

    SeekingDealsLikeYou

  • The charger's screen can be hard to see when the charger is plugged into an outlet behind furniture or a wall strip.

Rosewill (Newegg's brand) sells on of these for $30 but it's 70w total power. Just got one from Best Buy when they sent me a $10 coupon and it seems well made so far. It looks like this one is noticeably smaller as the Rosewill has a built in retractable USB-C cable + USB A and C ports.

Those don't sound as fancy as OP. Spec-wise probably better for the value though.

Their other 45w charger is smaller, lighter and comes with a usb-c cable. I don't see the value in this unless you ALWAYS do wired charging. Magsafe FTW and the cheaper 45w when you occasionally need it.

I'm confused about what this charger does and its' compatibility.
The product page says that it "recognizes" your iPhone (limited models), but what does that mean? Is that to just list the name on the screen? It also says "Universal Compatibility", which is expected for a USB C charger, but then lists limited Apple and Samsung devices, so what is it about those specific devices that's different than others devices? Does it charge them differently?
Outside that, it seems to be a slick little charger that provides much more info than any other charger I've seen, and seems to have the ability to change charging modes manually. I just wish they were a little more clear on feature compatibility.

Riding the iPhone's coattails. I guess it was to show speed.

That's an interesting charger. Thanks for the heads-up. It's a little larger for certain, but a lot more capable (and technically $5 cheaper). I ordered one just now directly from Newegg.

This isn't a PD capable charger. It doesn't say PD anywhere. To be honest, I'm not that impressed with it and that's saying something because I like almost everything Anker sells. But if you look carefully at the pictures, this is nothing more than a run-of-the-mill 45W charger with a cute screen; it's not PD capable so it's not for laptops (and they don't show pictures of laptops anywhere); the "recognition" aspect is only for a limited number of phones and ipads specifically; and it only charges the iPhones at 45W at the very beginning of a dead battery (0-20%). From 20% to 80% it's charging at 30W. So this doesn't look that remarkable actually.

It is, they're just branding it differently. If it wasn't PD, then it would require pulling 9A at 5V to get 45W, about the same as a toaster. You're not getting that kind of current through a phone charger cable

I'm not certain enough to say you're wrong. You may well be correct. To be fair, their previous 30W Nano charge doesn't explicitly say PD either, but they advertise it charging MBAs and a host of other devices. They do make some small reference to PD, but for the cable, not the charger itself. Like I said, I'm not certain. But in my experience, if they can use this for other purposes, they would say it. They love acronyms. But this does not indicate USB PD or PD 3.0 or PPS (for Samsung). But they do say it's TUV certified. Just odd.
