Anker’s New GaN Fast Charger Can Charge Your MacBook, iPhone & Tablet Simultaneously
Editor’s Note: This article was originally published on July 27, 2022. Now that Anker’s GaN chargers have been officially released on Anker.com and Amazon, we’ve updated our original post with new information and purchase links.
Everyone loves fast-charging technology, but the options are somewhat limited. Until recently, there were few options for GaN chargers, and the options that did exist were expensive. In addition, many third-party charging products leave a lot to be desired and can even run the risk of damaging your devices if you don’t properly match amperage and voltage. Thanks to Anker, customers now have more choices in this small but growing market with the release of the new Anker GaN Prime chargers, which can replace your laptop, phone and tablet charger into a single device — and charge them simultaneously.

Anker already makes some of the best portable chargers and iPhone chargers; however, the best GaN chargers typically come from highly specialized brands like HyperJuice, the crowdfunding success story that led to some truly unique charging solutions in this product category. Now, Anker’s new line of GaN chargers will provide consumers with even more choices regarding their power-charging needs.
Why should you care? GaN chargers are faster and smaller than the low-quality chargers that often come with smartphones and laptops (we’re looking at you, Apple). As a result, we strongly recommend ditching your MacBook or iPhone charger and upgrading to the new GaNPrime devices from Anker.
Not only are the new GaNPrime chargers up to 39% smaller than regular chargers, but they also charge faster, too.
What Are GaN Chargers?
Why invest in GaN chargers anyway? There are two main benefits to GaN chargers: these chargers are smaller and power your devices more quickly.
GaN stands for gallium nitride, which is a type of semiconductor that produces less heat. Because of this property, GaN chargers can pack components into a more compact design without the risk of overheating. This results in chargers that are much smaller. Gallium nitride also allows electricity to conduct more quickly, hence the fast charging effect. Most GaN chargers also offer a higher wattage, which further increases the charging capabilities.
Anker has partnered with Infineon, Navitas, Innoscience and Southclip to improve its fast charging technology, called GaNPrime. Thanks to these partnerships, Anker is now producing fast chargers far beyond what’s typically on the market.
What We Love About the New Anker GaNPrime Chargers
The new Anker GaNPrime line includes a variety of products, but let’s use the Anker 737 120W Charger as an example. This fast charger can replace the bulky MacBook and Dell laptop chargers that came with your device. Not only is it half the size of those awkward square chargers, but it can also charge three devices at once.
Anker also designed GaNPrime chargers to adjust the power output based on the connected device. This means you don’t have to worry about providing too much power or harming your battery. Paired with Active Shield 2.0, another technology from Anker that keeps an eye on the temperature of your device to prevent overheating, you’ve got a solid charger for any compatible product. Anker also has similar 747 and 735 Chargers, too.
