Tech companies are constantly updating their accessories — and chargers happen to be one of those accessories that have come a long way in recent years.
It’s no longer enough for a charger to simply power up your device. Today’s power banks are expected to work fast — because no one has time to just kick around and wait. What’s more: a number of the bells and whistles that were once thought of as perks are necessary features in a modern charger — if we shell out for a charger, it better be good!
Wondering about the latest and greatest portable chargers for your iPhone? This is the iPhone charger every Apple store employee loves because it makes your battery full in MINUTES.
Fuse Chicken Universal
When Digital Trends ranked the best new portable chargers, the Fuse Chicken Universal, which retails for $85, came out as a top-notch multitasking choice. One of the reasons why it is such a winner is its compact size: the charger measures 3x3 inches square and an inch high with a power back of 6,700mAh capacity that makes it able to charge smartphones one full time, with a bit of charge left over.
If you’re always on planes, this is the charger for you. The Fuse Chicken Universal is a travel adapter and a wireless charging pad. It has both 2.4A USB Type-C and USB-A and world travel adapters for the US, EU, UK, and Australia.
According to Digital Trends: “This is a versatile device. You can plug it into an outlet and charge an iPad Pro via the USB-C and a phone via the USB-A at the same time. Or you could use it unplugged and have the power bank charge your iPhone 8 wirelessly and rapidly charge your Pixel 4 via the USB-C port at the same time. This is a thoughtful design that’s perfect for travelers.”
Reviews are king when it comes to a product like phone chargers. Given how new to the market this charger is, there are only nine reviews on Amazon thus far — but it enjoys a 4.6 out of 5 star rating.
One reviewer raves: “Perfect for on the go and traveling. Fast device charge, wireless pad for phone. Don't know what i have done without this in my bag.”
