Opinion about my charger. (alien.top)

Hi, I bought this charger to charge my Pixel 8 Pro. Later I returned the Pixel and bought an iPhone 15 pro max. But, I kept charging my phone with this Anker 30 Watt GaN charger.

Usually, I charge my phone till 80% and then when it drops to 20% I charge it again.

What do you think about this charger? Am I harming my phone as I charge it with this charger? Although It clearly mentions that it is iPhone compatible. I am still a bit confused though as I am a new iPhone user who remains a bit worried about his phone's "Battery Health"

I doubt it’s harmful. I believe the phone sets the charging rate, up to what the wall charger can supply. Beyond that, power is power.

I use these Anker GaN chargers for many of my Apple devices, as well as a bigger one for a laptop. No complaints or unusual battery wear.

I have the same charger and it works perfectly. Before I had another Anker and zero issues. Anker is great.

It’ll be perfect. Great power devices. Sidebar: Great earbuds.(I favoured Anker earbuds over the apple airbuds. A fraction of the price and the sound is absolutely Incredible for the budget pricing)

Side sidebar: terrible ethics. Lied to home camera customers outright, left streams unencrypted then said they had nothing to apologise for.

I now stay clear of their products and tend to go with ugreen.
