Anker launches new 3-in-1 Power Bank with Built-In Lightning Cable
Anker has launched the 3-in-1 Power Bank (30W, Fusion, Built-In Lightning Cable) at Amazon US. Rumors about the model started earlier this year, and a similar accessory with an integrated USB-C cable arrived in February.
According to Anker, the built-in Lightning cable has been shown to withstand over 10,000 bends. However, it does not appear that the integrated cable is replaceable. The new 3-in-1 portable charger can operate as a power bank or an AC charger with foldable pins. The accessory offers up to 30W output as a charger or 22.5W as a power bank. At 30W, the company suggests the product charges an iPhone 15 Pro to 50% in 25 minutes or a Samsung S23 to the same percentage in 34 minutes. You can simultaneously charge two devices via the cable and a USB-C port, though it is unclear how this affects the outputs.
The power bank’s 5,000mAh capacity allows almost a full charge of an iPhone 15 Pro or an 83% charge of a Samsung S23. The power bank fully recharges in 2.8 hours, and a digital display shows the remaining battery level. The model is compact, measuring 3.25 x 1.95 x 1.22 inches (~83 x 50 x 31 mm) and weighing 7 oz (~200 g). Images indicate that the product will be offered in five colors: Truffle Black, Lilac Purple, Pastel Pink, Ice Lake Blue, and Classic White. However, only the black version is available currently, retailing for $39.99.
