News & Reviews:   charger

When Apple first officially revealed that they weren't going to include a charging brick in the iPhone 12 series boxes, it was only natural that many people made fun of their choices. Samsung was among one of them which prompted them to make a post indirectly poking fun at their rival by including a charging brick. However, there were rumours about the Korean tech giant following Apple's footsteps and there's new evidence.

Based on a statement by Mark Gurman, it seems that Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger is able to achieve up to 14W per device while requiring a separate 27W USB-C power adapter that’s sold separately. Not only that, but if you were to hook up a 20W USB-C power adapter to the Apple MagSafe Duo Charge, it's able to achieve charging speeds of up to 11W.

Apple's iPhones have been supporting wireless charging but the company hasn't launched any accessories to cater to the feature yet. Earlier, it was rumoured that Apple would launch a small wireless charging mat in the first half of 2020 and it didn't happen. Now, it looks like these leaked images of the circular array of magnets on the iPhone 12 is telling us something.

Most of you guys might have freaked out a little when the news about Samsung not including chargers in the box came out earlier. However, we are here to announce that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will come with a charger in the box! It's sad that we're actually discussing this.

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.

Xiaomi has announced that their 100W Super Charger has hit the mass production phase, and we should expect this technology to be available Q3 or Q4 end this year. As far as we know from the video courtesy of weibo.com, the charger is able to fully charge a 4000mAh battery in about 17 minutes.
