There are quality alternatives to Apple chargers and cables, I would say same higher quality and lower price. Today we tested a dual charger and two cables with which you can charge your iPhone and iPad at the same time, at high speed and for less money than you might imagine.
UGREEN 40W PD 3.0 charger
By now, anyone looking for an iPhone or iPad charger should already be familiar with terms like USB-C, Power Delivery, etc. Apple’s decision to leave us without a charger in the iPhone case meant that many who never worried about buying an accessory like this had to update the type of chargers and that take full advantage of the features of Apple devices, like fast charging. In Cupertino, they offer us a quality charger, 20W of power, Power Delivery 3.0 and USB-C for 25 $. What if I told you that for the same price you can have two chargers like that? And that you only need one outlet?
Este cargador de UGREEN es poco más grande que el cargador oficial de Apple, está fabricado en plástico blanco con acabado brillante y nos ofrece dos tomas USB-C, cada una de las cuales puede darnos hasta 20W de potencia para recargar dos dispositivos de Apple a that time. With it, you can use fast charging, recharging a 505 battery in just 30 minutes. It is compatible with the MagSafe system, it can power a HomePod mini … It’s like at Apple but doubled, and at the same price. You can buy it on Amazon for 25 $ (connect)
USB-c cable to UGREEN lighting
If we want to use fast charging on our iPhone, or if we want to connect it to the USB-C ports of any modern laptop, even to the USB sockets that we have in modern cars, we will need a USB-C to Lightning cable. For fast charging, it must also be compatible with the Power Delivery protocol. Apple offers us its one meter for 25 $. This is the classic Apple cable with connectors and plastic coating, which does not withstand too many attacks. But there are better alternatives, and this UGREEN cable is one example.
For much less it offers us compatibility with fast charging, but also a much more solid construction, with metal connectors, cable covered with braided nylon and reinforcement in the most delicate area of the cable, the cable-connector junction. . I have been using these cables for home devices for quite some time and can confirm that their resistance is much higher than the original Apple cables, which last a little over a month for my kids. The price of this 1 meter long cable is $ 16.99 on Amazon (connect).
UGREEN USB-C to USB-C Cable
What if you needed a cable for your iPad Air, iPad Pro, or MacBook? Well, you will need a USB-C to USB-C cable, like the one I also tried from UGREEN. It has the same build quality as the one we’ve seen before, and supports charging powers up to 100W, so it’s perfect for recharging any MacBook model you offer. Not only is it a charging cable, but it also allows data transfer, with speeds of up to 480 Mbps.
It exists in lengths of one and two meters, the one in the image is two meters, and I can also confirm its resistance because it is the one that I have been using with my iPad Pro for months. The price of this two-meter cable is $ 9.98 on Amazon (link), if we compare it to that of Apple, with a much poorer construction, it costs 25 $.
