Lately, it's become a thing for phone makers to skip including a charger when you buy a new phone. They say it's to cut down on electronic waste, which sounds noble. But it also means if you need a charger, you are reaching back into your wallet, adding to what you already spent on that high-end phone that cost you a pretty penny.
I mean, we are looking at just $8 for a 30W charger and merely $15 for a dual 45W charger. These rather low prices got me thinking: Are the tech giants' chargers just too pricey? Let's take a closer look at the world of fast chargers.Nowadays, most mid-range and all flagship phones come with fast charging capabilities. It's a game-changer because it slashes charging times significantly.
So, the big players in mobile tech have similar products ranging from $20 to $70. But is that too much?Ikea, definitely not the first name you think of in tech, dropped two chargers that are easy on the wallet:Yes, those prices are real, and they undercut the big tech companies by a mile. Ikea's single charger offers up to 30W, outpacing Apple's and matching Google's.
Moreover, there's another slice to the Ikea puzzle worth mentioning: as a mass-market giant, Ikea churns out its products in huge numbers, which helps keep those prices nice and low.
