The Anker Charger (240W, 4 Port) is now available worldwide. The GaN charging accessory is currently exclusive to the Apple Store. Rumors about the product began earlier this year, and an image was leaked at the start of November.
The Charger (240W, 4 Port) shares many similarities with the older Anker 749 Prime 240W GaN Desktop Charger (4 Ports). The main difference is found with the ports, as the new accessory has four USB-C outputs, whereas the older device had three USB-C and one USB-A. The top USB-C output offers up to 140W power, with the remaining three delivering up to 100W. When all four ports are used, the maximum combined output of 240W is split as follows: 140W, 50W, 30W, and 20W. Plus, the product comes with ActiveShield 2.0 technology for frequent temperature checks.
While the design and dimensions are the same, 10.6 × 7.8 × 3.5 cm (~4.2 x 3.0 x 1.4 inches), the two chargers come in different colors; the new Anker Charger is white, while the older 749 has a dark metallic gray finish. You can now buy the Anker Charger (240W, 4 Port) from the Apple Store for $129.95/£129.95/€149.95. For comparison, the Anker 749 Prime 240W GaN Desktop Charger (4 Ports) retails for $139.99/£149.99/€169.99.
