Can be used along side with a lighting to USB-C cable to fast charge iPhone 8/X/XS.

+1 on the BlitzWolf charger. I believe you only need the Apple USB C to Lightning cable if you are looking to fast charge an iPhone (since there are no third party ones available last time I checked).
Can also vouch for Banggoods service and postage time to Oz.
(☠️) = "Isolation distance a bit low, but it did not fail safety tests"
Does anyone know if it is safe to use?https://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower%20BlitzWolf%2030W%20PD…
That icon means "Isolation distance a bit low, but it did not fail safety tests"
The review says: Testing with 2830 volt and 4242 volt between mains and low volt side, did not show any safety problems.
Any chance you know if they make anything suitable for the older type MacBook plugs?
Don't know if this helps but, you can get charger connector adapters for older to newer MacBooks, and vice versa
If you're referring to MagSafe, I don't think you'll be able to find a USB-C to MagSafe Cable.
Just so people know, only the first one you linked fast-charges iPad's (14.5-15V@2A = 29-30W). The 2nd one only does 9v @ 2a. Still better than the stock charger though.
There are situations where you prefer Apple original 29W:
- If you actually look at the tear down of the adapters, you will see a big difference in quality. You think BlizWolf managed to come up with a design that's much slimmer than Apple and yet provides same low noise and stable voltage)? Your devices will use inferior chargers, but unless you actually check with a meter, you cannot tell the quality of the adapter.
- If you have first gen iPad Pro 12 inch (as it may only support the voltages the 29W charger provides).
- You have the need to use it overseas and you have the correct Apple plugs for those countries.
- Yes, $28.5 more than 3rd party, but you can walk into an Apple store and get a replacement if it failed.
Honestly, if you really want to fast charge your iPhone using USB-PD, then you are already paying for the premium of the cable (the 1m version recently got a downgrade to USB 2 (used to be USB 3) from Apple). You might as well buy original charger - your phone costs so much more anyway.
To really save, just stick with the standard Apple 12W iPad charger (forget this USB-C/PD marketing gimmick for iPhones). We are talking about 15 minutes difference max.
Also this support new MacBook (2015 and later) at 29W, so if you have Macbook, iPad Pro and iPhone. This will fast charge all of them, pretty handy to have
I don't think this would fast charge a MacBook. I know the 13" MacBook Pro comes with a 61W charger. I'm sure it would charge it, but only at half normal speed.
I want an Apple charger.
* Shut up, take Blitzwolf, they are the same.
But I want that Apple charger and the price is actually lower than everywhere else.
* There's no point, take BlitzWolf.
I need an Apple charger, here's a bargain, here, this deal!
* It's not a bargain because you can have BlitzWolf!What kind of logic is that?
I want an Apple-branded charger and this is the deal here. Why the neg?
So blitzwolf or this?
But then as pointed above ^^^
BlitzWolf BW-S10 is given a (☠️) safety rating at lygte-info
Good excuse to buy a new iPhone… ;)
Just because it's bad value doesn't mean its not a good deal. 27% off an Apple product is A-ok in my book. Especially when the alternative is ☠️
Just because it's bad value doesn't mean its not a good deal.
Huh?
Just because it's bad value doesn't mean its not a good deal.
That's not even a real anecdote.
bad deals are bad deals doesn't matter which way to spin them. The only way to spin this as a good deal would be if you can flip it on ebay/gumtree for $50 and buy yourself 2 x $10 chargers.
@salmon123: Your logic doesn't work. This is a good deal on Apple 29W USB-C charger.
Yes, you can get other chargers with lesser quality etc for less money.
That makes this product relatively poor 'value' but it's still a good deal price-wise if you wanted this specific product for whatever reason.
They're two different metrics. One is subjective (value) and the other is a fact (it's a cheap deal for that product).
Now only $35!
As I mentioned on a similar thread early in the week, you can buy a non-Apple Type C PD charger for a 3rd of the price, with near identical specs: https://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-BW-S10-30W-USB-Type-C-PD-…?
Or one with an extra Type A port, for more universal capability: https://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-BW-S11-30W-Type-C-PDQC3_0…
Blitzwolf are a reputable company with an excellent track record, and these chargers are excellent in my experience.
Banggood deliver to Australia in about 1 week, based on my last few packages.
Paying top dollar for Apple's overpriced accessories is just encouraging them to keep ripping off their customers. Don't be complicit in their scam!
