All Apple phones from iPhone 8 onwards support PD fast charging. But since Apple no longer ships chargers for iPhones, users started to look for reliable alternatives, which has fueled the explosion of this market. The brands that are committed to reliable, compact PD charging devices are in hot demand. AOHi is definitely one of them. As one of the core manufacturers of included chargers for many phone brands (Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, etc), AOHi has built up advanced technology and a good reputation in the industry.
Recently AOHi launched a 30W PD compact charger (MagCube 30W) and another 40W dual-Port PD wall charger. Both are excellent chargers for charging your devices. The former stuffs in a 30W high power charging system into a body almost identical to Apple’s 5W charger, which is pretty insane as the power density reaches at 1.18W /cm³. Notably, the 40W dual-Port charger is also super compact with foldable pins. Both USB Type-C ports support fast charging: With a single port, it supports up to 40W PD output and PPS fast charging as well, while dual ports working at the same time can provide 20W+20W power distribution.
Let’s check out the AOHi Magcube 30W first. It’s roughly the same size (28mm X 28mm X 32mm, 32g) as the Apple 5V1A charger, but the supported charging efficiency is 6x better than the Apple 5W charger. In terms of the compact size, it’s definitely a smart option for travel. It’s a wonderful accessory to carry on the go and you can put it in any pocket, backpack, or suitcase without occupying much space.
The Magcube 30W mini charger has a wide voltage input of 100-240V 50/60Hz 0.8A, which is suitable for global grid types. And it can provide wide range of fixed voltage outputs including 5V3A, 9V2.22A, 9V2.77A and 20V1.5A, supporting up to 30W PD fast charging. As the latest iPhone 13 series and iPad series supports PD fast charging with power up to 27W, it’s obvious that the mini fast charger is specifically designed for iPhone 13 series. Let alone the previous Apple phones. It can charge the iPhone 12 and 13 to over 50% power in 30mins, which is also the fastest charging speed that you can access on these two phones.
The interface panel remains the same stylish pattern design as the brand’s previous chargers, with a single USB-C port and fixed pins on the opposite side. The USB-C port also features a metal ring, which prevents the port not only from loosening due to frequent plug-in/out but also from wearing out.
To give users a more convenient view of the current charging status of their device, the 30W mini charger features a charging indicator on the top of the charger. When fast charging, the indicator slowly flashes yellow to remind users that the phone is currently being fast charged with high power. When the devices enter a normal charging state, the indicator lights up in blue. At the end of the charge or not in the charging state, the indicator lights up in green to indicate that the device is fully charged.
Now let’s focus on another 40W dual-port charger, which is also my favorite companion accessory for travel. The model I have is a bright-yellow one that looks so stylish and energetic. It’s also ultra-compact and lightweight. In a way, it’s even more portable than the 30W mini charger, although the size is a bit larger. Thanks to the foldable pins and the smarter 3D design, it’s perfect for home, office, and travel use. The thickness of only 23mm with foldable pins is almost the best option to carry if you have to charge two devices at the same time.
And it also features stylish and protective metal rings for the dual USB C ports. The supported five fixed voltage gears of 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V3A, 15V2.67A, 20V/2A, and a set of 3.3-11V3A PPS output, which is not only suitable for iPhones and iPads but is also compatible for other mobile devices with fast charging.
When using the single port, the device can access the maximum power of 40W, which has covered the maximum charging power of all available iPhones and iPads. In this scenario, it performs very close to the 30W one. If you like to get two devices charged at the same time, the dual-port charger can automatically detect and optimize the allocated power supply for the connected two devices.
During the charging test for various devices, both of them performed stably and didn’t suffer from overheating issues at all.
Meanwhile, to make sure both of them perform at their best, we also use the AOHi Magline+ cable for Apple devices’ charging but it needs to be purchased separately. This is also one of the best cables ever used for fast charging up an iPhone. The black cable (1.8m/6ft) is braided, and the outside fabric layer protects the inside layer from tearing and fraying as easily. Please note that the AOHi PD chargers only support USB-C port for output, so make sure that you’ve already got one compliant USB-C to lightning cable. Or you could check out the AOHi store for the cable we used here.
Both the chargers reviewed here seem to be specially designed for Apple devices, but actually, they are also available for other devices like Android phones and earbuds. The ultra-compact body with stylish design makes them stand out. Now all of the accessories we mentioned are available in AOHi stores.
