Based on a statement by Apple Developer Forrest Heller, USB chargers these days carry more processing power as compared to the guidance computer found on the Apollo 11 spacecraft. The way the aforementioned developer proved his statement is by analyzing the hardware found in the USB chargers and compared them to Apollo 11’s computers.

To go into more detail, the Landing Guidance Computer has a clock speed of only 1.024 Mhz while Anker’s PowerPort Atom PD 2 is about 48 times faster at 48 Mhz. Not only that, but the aforementioned USB Charger has around twice the storage capacity as well.
