Nomad today announced a pair of new products, including a new USB-C PD wall charger and new Sport Cables. These accessories are both available to order and ship out today on Nomad's website.
The 30W USB-C GaN AC Adapter is a small, minimalist wall charger with a 30W power output that supports iPhone fast charging. This accessory costs $29.95 and does not come with a USB-C cable. In terms of size, Nomad's charger is only marginally larger than Apple's 5W USB-A charger.
Secondly, Nomad has a new collection of Sport Cables, which it says are similar to its existing kevlar cables but come in at a cheaper price and with a nylon braid. There are three versions available: USB-A to Lightning, USB-C to Lightning, and USB-C to USB-C. The Lightning cables are MFi certified and cost $24.95 each.
With both the 30W AC Adapter and one of the USB-C Sport Cables, you'll be able to fast charge an iPhone. With this feature, you can get up to 50 percent charge in under 30 minutes on modern iPhones. The 30W AC Adapter can also be used to power Apple accessories like the MagSafe Charger.

Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users.
If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit."

What the heck is a “sport” USB-C charging cable? Am I going to be hiking while charging from my wall outlet? Does it double as a jump rope?
Cable might have been tested to not snap when throwing around a bull as a noose. It may be possible that people below a certain weight may be able to use this cable as a rappelling gear. Nomad wasn't clear why is the cable Sport.
"- Does 30W USB-C Power Adapter come with international adapters? - No, it does not. But it is electrically compatible with international mains electricity so can safely be plugged into adapters."
Cool, but that kinda defeats the purpose of a SMALL charger, doesn't it?
