      Anker offers a compact 30W travel charger, while Belkin is a superior option for charging two devices at a desk.

      Budget charger deals are plentiful during Prime Day, and in this category, brand reliability remains important. The best affordable charger deals combine a reputable brand with sufficient wattage, practical ports, and a genuine discount. The selections from Anker and Belkin meet these criteria without requiring a large expenditure.

      **Anker Nano 30W USB-C charger**

      **Anker**

      **Pros:**

      - Extremely compact and easily portable

      - Convenient with folding prongs for travel

      - Available in fun, vibrant colors

      **Cons:**

      - Only features one charging port

      - Does not come with a charging cable

      The Anker Nano 30W charger is priced at $12.34, reduced from $19.99, making it 38% cheaper. For a small USB-C wall charger, this price is ideal for keeping one in a bag, a nightstand drawer, or a travel pouch.

      Its appeal lies in its compact and foldable design, along with its capability to deliver up to 30W via USB-C. This wattage is sufficient for fast charging many newer iPhones, Android devices, and smaller gadgets, avoiding the need to carry a bulky laptop charger. It also features GaN technology, PIQ 3.0, PPS fast charging, and MagSafe compatibility, giving it a better specification list than typical low-cost chargers.

      The Amazon customer response is exceptionally positive for a product at this price point, boasting an average rating of 4.8 stars from over 19,000 reviews, and is designated as Amazon’s Choice, with over 10,000 units sold in the past month. It is shipped from Amazon and sold by AnkerDirect, which are details I appreciate in a charger deal. The only downside is the single USB-C port, making it most suitable as a compact fast charger for one device at a time.

      **Belkin Dual Port Charger Block 42W**

      **Belkin**

      **Pros:**

      - Capable of charging two devices simultaneously

      - Flexible dual-port connector options

      - Constructed from eco-friendly recycled plastic

      **Cons:**

      - Noticeably larger compared to single-port chargers

      - Bulkier and less portable footprint

      For use on a desk or nightstand, Belkin’s Dual Port Charger Block is the more adaptable option. It is currently priced at $16.13, down from $19.99, resulting in a 19% discount.

      With a total power output of 42W shared between a 30W USB-C port and a 12W USB-A port, it allows for fast charging a phone while also charging an Apple Watch, AirPods, older cables, or smaller accessories. Although it isn’t as compact as the Anker, the second port offers greater convenience for setups where multiple devices need charging at once.

      While the rating pool for Belkin is smaller, it remains commendable with a score of 4.7 stars from 424 reviews, along with an Amazon’s Choice designation. It is shipped from and sold by Amazon.com, ensuring a straightforward checkout and return process. I’d opt for the Anker if a small and trusted fast charger is needed, while the Belkin is a better option for those wishing to charge two devices without needing a second charger.

      **iPhone 18 may see a minor RAM increase, primarily for AI tasks in iOS 27**

      A new report suggests the additional memory is intended to support Apple Intelligence's smooth operation.

      The upcoming iPhone might not experience a significant RAM enhancement, but it may gain just enough extra memory to manage Apple's increasingly ambitious AI features effectively. According to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e are expected to upgrade from 8GB to 9GB of RAM to facilitate deeper integration of Apple Intelligence in iOS 27, providing just enough RAM to satisfy Apple Intelligence's requirements.

      **This free iPhone app utilizes soothing haptics to aid relaxation**

      This iOS app eliminates the need for accounts and subscriptions, focusing solely on touch to promote calmness.

      Unlike most mindfulness apps, which typically require account creation, subscription fees, and divert your attention before helping you relax, Vän, a new iPhone app created by Swiss indie developer Adrian Stanco, is designed to be the opposite.

      I discovered the app on Reddit, and the concept piqued my interest enough to try it. Instead of relying on sounds or endless scrolling, it focuses entirely on haptics—the subtle vibrations that your phone can provide. The result is a calming experience derived from simply holding your
