The Anker Prime Charger packs 160W into a block the size of an AirPods case, charges a MacBook Pro to 50% in 25 minutes, and powers three devices at full speed simultaneously. Three chargers in a bag – one for the laptop, one for the phone, one for the tablet – is the standard travel tax most people pay without thinking about it.
The AnkerThe single-port output delivers a consistent 140W without derating,regardless of which of the three ports you use. That consistency matters because most multi-port chargers reduce single-port output when other ports are in use, forcing you to remember which port gives full speed and which ones share.
The Anker Prime charger does not have that problem: PowerIQ 5.0, which charges a MacBook Pro, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and an iPad Pro at the same speed as three separate original chargers running independently. The AnkerSense View display shows real-time power output for each port on the charger itself, which removes the guesswork about whether a device is fast charging or drawing reduced power.
Touch controls on the charger switch modes instantly without opening an app, and Bluetooth connectivity to the Anker app unlocks custom charging modes and deeper monitoring for anyone who wants that level of control. The power density of 1.35W per cubic centimeter is what makes the form factor possible: GaN technology packs more output into less space than silicon-based components, and the result is a 160W charger that fits in a shirt pocket.
Apple’s 140W USB-C power adapter costs $89 and handles one device. This Anker Prime charger at $105 handles three simultaneously at the same peak wattage for a single port, with a smart display and a form factor that is smaller than most single-port laptop adapters. For anyone who travels with a MacBook Pro and a full device ecosystem, the math on carrying one charger instead of three is straightforward.
