Anker is back with a collection of discounts on popular charging accessories today, including notable savings on wall chargers, portable batteries, wireless charging mats, and USB-C cables. All of these accessories will be found on Amazon this time around. Shoppers should note that many of the discounts require you to clip an on-page coupon in order to see the savings at the checkout screen.

In addition to these Anker discounts on Amazon, we're also tracking a discount on Apple's MagSafe Charger at Woot, available for $31.99, down from $39.99. This accessory has dropped about $3 cheaper in previous sales, so this is a solid second-best price on the MagSafe Charger. Woot is selling the device in new condition and with a one-year Apple limited warranty.

Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models at the same time, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 18 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
One thing worth...

BEWARE of buying a MagSafe charger via Woot. I did, and got a very convincing fake. It was so good that I didn't even realize it was fake until I started to poke around looking to update the firmware on all my MagSafe pucks.

Also BEWARE of Anker/eufy. First the security camera scandal and then the exploding batteries.
Cannot agree more this company has failed big time. Baker was my preferred choose for charger, cables and Powerbank but now I avoid anker and it doesn’t matter how much sale, commercial, deals they have

I'm not sure if mine was a fake or not, but it was not new and stopped working after a few days. The box was missing and it was just loosely wrapped around a the inner cardboard piece. Worked ok for a bit then was dead. Multiple power adapters, computers, and devices all same result...nothing. I'm done with Woot.
I dont buy ANKER anymore personally or for company. They have become a big brand and their prices have risen time and time again. While other brands have raises slightly anker took the cake with the biggest leap.I use to buy the anker USB C TO HDMI which used to be 16 dollars back in the beginning and now that same cable has risen to $28 on amazon. Meanwhile other brands like Uni and UGreen have kept their prices relatively the same.
I recommend ugreen cables and chargers on amazon, they are still good reasonable priced.
