Damned if they do, damned when they don’t
I’m using my Apple device cable and this charger seems to work plenty good and fast for my immediate need, but this review is about far more than present appearance.To complete what I have to say, among other things, I will nimbly touch on what’s been understated elsewhere as the Rat’s Nest of USB-C Standards, but only when it comes to charging, not data transfer. Like most reading this, I’m just wanting to get beyond being a novice, the perspective which should be of special importance.Here’s what Apple says (and what I initially recently read) about fast charging for some of their devices: one can use [list of relevant Apple adaptors] or a “comparable third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)”. On its website, Apple boldly claims this exact power adapter is “Compatible with any USB-C enabled device.” Yet the documentation that comes with it says you “might” be able to use it on third-party phones depending on the region, and to “Check with the manufacturer about compatibility with any third-party phone before charging.” Apple abstains from providing the version of the PD standard the adapter adheres to, further subverting the specious compatibility claim. The USB-C Power Delivery standard is as old as the USB-C standard itself but it has undergone major revisions and not all vendors (or their specific products) claim to adhere to a PD standard, apparently because they don’t. Interestingly, one can’t (rather shouldn’t) use just any USB-PD charger with any Apple USB-C device as device model compatibility is required before a charger can even be “comparable.” Third-party chargers implementing PD must test for compatibility with specific Apple devices which obviously goes beyond which version of PD is implemented on the Apple device – unless that’s only because Apple (I believe) DOES NOT release PD version information period. Furthermore, Apple even provides (extremely) limited information on detail testing regarding their own chargers and devices to document established compatibility! So what exactly does a test entail? Your guess is as good as mine.USB-PD (USB-C Power Delivery) allows the device (/load) and power supply to negotiate for multiple standard (set) power delivery levels. Current versions of the PD specification are 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1.PD PPS (Programmable Power Supply) is a supplemental specification to USB Power Delivery describing how the device (/load) and power supply communicate for granular and incremental power delivery levels. The charging device and the power recipient exchange information on which voltage and ampere values are supported. The efficiency of PPS comes with the benefit of lessening heat which increases battery lifespan. I do not believe Apple ever mentions PPS which was introduced with PD 3.0, and is optional. Judging from the couple of comments I found, Apple was still using PD 2.0 long after PD 3.0 was introduced, so it’s possible that 2.0 is still what’s mostly being used and/or no PPS!The one exception I found to Apple being mum on details and versions of the standards they use is a report that Apple confirmed to The Verge that their 140W USB-C Power Adapter uses USB-PD 3.1. There is a surprising dearth of reports from people who possess test equipment to analyze and verify the standards that Apple’s adaptors (and devices) support. Also, I should mention that where wireless charging is merged with USB charging from a power adapter, USB charging standards and requirements remain in place. Wireless charging requires its own protocols for negotiating the amount of power transferred. For the wireless power transfer end, we have Apple’s proprietary MagSafe standard in addition to the open Qi and Qi2 standards that Apple helped create. Burp.Note that ALL OF the device, the charger, and the cable must meet USB version specification requirements (or corresponding rating) to achieve highest or acceptable (and possibly safe) protocol compliance and therefore proper charging! Yet I believe Apple’s implementations are all considered proprietary. For sure there is an abundance of companies with various proprietary USB-C fast charging schemes. Something has to give. The good news is that devices have built-in limits and should reduce current when necessary to only draw as much power as they’re capable of handling.Apple is a founding and current member of the working group that develops the USB standards. As long as manufacturers make no effort to better inform their customers on the standards being used, the situation will continue to be a stinking USB rat’s nest, USB-C or not. Admittedly, the ignorant will not be concerned regarding the full extent of the mess (until we get burned) – especially those of us who have been simple and largely faithful users of the chargers that came with our devices. Except now the chargers are separately purchased items. That Apple is going all in on USB-C is good, but if they really want us to get the most out of our devices (and/or our batteries), and if they desire to be responsible members of society, they need to reveal more. Blindly maximizing the use of individual chargers and cables can mean wasting devices and batteries instead. Apple doesn’t seem to have known as much about battery charging as they might have as optimal lithium battery charging advice has continued to evolve as has Apple’s algorithm for slowing the last segment of charging.The model number given on this Amazon page for this adapter/charger is MHJA3AM/A which I believe it should be called a manufacturer (part) number – except that Apple is unsurprisingly good with it being called a model number here, confusion be damned. The model number of the adapter I received is A2305. The accompanying two-inch square instruction book combines nine models. The typical difference in the models relates in part to the AC input voltage range*, obviously to satisfy local government regulations. The only place USB-PD is mentioned in the booklet is with the adapter output specification. USB-PD is NOT placed as an input specification (I think Belkin does the same) even though Power Delivery can’t function without same language communication!*Update/addition: After answering a question from someone planning to travel to Morocco with this charger, I took a better look at the io specs in the tiny instruction pamphlet and I’m taking a crack at explaining (more like deciphering since my understanding of electricity is limited basic).There are 9 models covered in the accompanying pamphlet and 6 of the 9 have identical io specifications fully stated as follows:Models A2244, A2245, A2247, A2305, A2347, and A2464> Input: 100-240V~50-60Hz 0.5A> (USB-PD) Output: 5VDC/3A or 9VDC/2.22AWhat I understand from this is that this adaptor will work the same for any normal AC plug. Its output is only Power Delivery because it charges at two possible standard/set levels, to be negotiated with the device being charged. It can charge at:5V x 3A = 15 Watts (Volts times Amps equals Watts) and9V x 2.22A = 19.98 WattsSo this adapter is only capable of charging at either 15 Watts or 19.98 Watts.I’m trying to understand the USB-C Power Delivery table at Wikipedia and this is what I infer. There are only two voltages which can be used for an adaptor to produce up to a maximum of 20 Watts: 5V and 9V. 5 volts can be used for a current to produce between .5 watts and 15 watts. 9 volts can be used for a current to produce between 15.03 watts and 27 watts. I assume (although I could well be wrong) that Power Delivery (sans PPS) allows more than one option at a given voltage. So, for example, this adaptor could have been made to also allow the device being charged to ask for and get a comfortable 5 watts (and still have the options for 15 and 19.98 watts). (I downloaded the latest USB-PD specification and it’s 870 pages, way too much to struggle through. Update: USB-PD added version 3.2 on about 10/30/23 and the spec is now 1,113 pages.)Finally, let me go over the differences for the three remaining adaptors of the nine covered by the instruction pamphlet. I will only detail the differences from the 6 of 9 (which is therefore the default spec).Model A2344> Input 100-127V> PD Output (for 5V, same watts as our default or) 9V @ 2A = 18 Watts> Input 200-240V> PD Output (same options as our default, 15 and 19.98 Watts)Model A2465> Input 100-110V> PD Output (for 5V, same watts as our default or) 9V @ 2A = 18 Watts> Input 110-240V> PD Output (same options as our default, 15 and 19.98 Watts)Model A2246> Input 100-127V> No Power Delivery Output! Only provides 5V @ 2.4A = 12 Watts> Input 200-240V> PD Output (same options as our default, 15 and 19.98 Watts)Last addition: The EU (and India) made their USB-C and Power Delivery charging mandates for the next couple of years. They are not yet regulating wireless charging which is coming fast and in many instances can fully replace USB/wired. What’s missing, at least for me, are manufacturers revealing the detail charging capabilities of their chargers, and especially of their devices. Hiding behind “proprietary” has become entirely an excuse.

Authentic Apple Adapter
I’ve been using the authentic Apple 20W Charger for a while now, and it’s exceeded my expectations in every aspect. When it comes to charging my devices, especially my iPhone and iPad, I prioritize not just speed but also safety and reliability. This charger ticks all those boxes effortlessly.The first thing that stands out is its compact design. It’s incredibly portable, making it easy to slip into a pocket or bag without adding bulk. Despite its small size, it delivers remarkable charging speed. Whether I’m topping up my device quickly before heading out or charging it overnight, this charger consistently gets the job done swiftly.What reassures me most is its authenticity. With numerous knockoffs flooding the market, having the genuine Apple product ensures not only faster charging but also peace of mind regarding safety. I’ve encountered issues with non-Apple chargers in the past, and they simply don’t match the reliability and performance of the authentic one.Another advantage worth mentioning is its compatibility. This 20W charger is versatile and works seamlessly with various devices, from iPhones to iPads and even some Mac models. It’s a one-size-fits-all solution for most of my Apple gadgets.Although it might seem a bit pricier than generic chargers, the investment in the Apple 20W Charger is definitely worth it for the quality, speed, and assurance it provides. If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient charging solution tailored to your Apple devices, this charger is an absolute must-have. Highly recommended!

Can you really trust other reviewers? I am glad I did.
Usually, I don’t like writing about a product that has almost 200,000 reviews and is the #1 seller in its category, but this product is everything that those purchasers say it is and what the company advertises. While my comments might get lost in the shuffle, the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter – iPhone Charger definitely has Fast Charging Capability and is just what the doctor ordered. Although I am not a doctor, my prescription for Apple 15 iPhone owners is make sure you have this handy item readily available. It is amazing how hot lithium batteries get, so please charge the cellphone during the daytime for safety’s sake. Can you really trust other reviewers? I am glad I did.

Most durable and reliable charger yet
Taking it out the package felt so good, as Apple’s old charger is a pain to use and breaks so easily for me. I tend to plug my charger really quickly when in a hurry. This new 20W charger changes my life as well as giving me a fast battery on the go! 10/10 product and the smartest design I’ve seen. Props to Apple

It’s fine!
I got this to go with my magsafe charger, and when it arrived I noticed that it looked kind of different from a 20W Apple charger adapter I already had which came with my ipad. I figured out eventually that the only difference is that this one is made in India. After a couple of months I can’t tell the difference really between this one and the original one made in China.It seems to be a legit Apple product, and has been working perfectly for over two months, but 4 stars because it’s kind of sketchy at the end of the day. Why is it being sold in the US, when US apple stores don’t stock these?

Most bang for your buck
This charging block arrived quickly and works as expected. I am very impressed with the quality of this product – I needed a quality charger for my iPhone 15 and I was not disappointed. My phone charges quickly (approximately 20-30 minutes for a full charge) and I can even use the charging block for my Apple Watch SE. I would recommend this product 10/10 if I could!

Not a bad price considering it’s Apple
Authentic Apple charger. If you have a MagSafe charging pad and you have an newer iPhone, then you’re going to need a USB or USB-C charging brick that is rated for 15 watts or higher. This one is rated 18 watts, which is more than enough for fast-charging mode on the iPhone 15 Pro.

Excellent!
This is perfect! Very Pleased! Highly recommended! I also purchased the usb-c power cord for this lightning wall adapter but that Smells! Really Bad!!! It Stinks! Like it was in a swamp! But that works great as well. And now it actually clicks into my iPad and the lightning adapter! unlike the one I got in the box from Apple included with my brand new iPad mini 6. That one kept constantly falling out my iPad and the lightning power adapter as well for no reason. No one was near it! Clearly defective. Disgusted with Apple! I couldn’t take it anymore so I purchased this and a new power cord. (PU)! Now the smelly wire clicks in and stay in on both ends like it was supposed to! Shame on you Apple! Like paying hundreds of dollars for a new iPad wasn’t good enough money for you! So you made me spend more of my hard earned money for something that should have worked as well as these do right out of the box! Excellent item! Highly recommend it! Especially if yours was defective too! You’ll thank yourself for putting an end to the stress of coming back to your IPad and seeing that one or both ends of the cord have fallen out and it wasn’t charging at all. This is my 3rd ipad. First time I’ve had an issue with the brick and wire besides the wire being incredibly short! After this probably look into a different brand. I didn’t get what I paid for Apple!!!

Official Apple Product, Exactly What You Expect, Pricey But Works Well
The only charger that reliably charges me iPhone 13 Pro in record time (thus far, in my home).20W output can charge my iPhone from red to full in, like, what, 30 minutes or less? It’s just pretty damn fast compared to the old 5W days. So performance wise, absolutely no problem. Perfect.The design also looks nice. However, it’s much bigger than the familiar 5W ones. If they can somehow pack 20W power into a 5W size, it’ll be even better. Easier to travel with for sure! Until then, this will do.Interestingly enough, to date, I have not bought a 3rd party 20W charger to compare performance, because since each of these Apple official ones are only $20, it isn’t really breaking the bank, so I just kept buying the Apple versions.Tbh, that’s already somewhat pushing the price ceiling. They only give you the charger, not even cable. Apple’s a cheapskate. That’s why it got a 4-star rating instead of 5. For pricing.(But I expect to test some off brand ones soon. Let’s see if they work just as well, finally.)As to my already owned Apple chargers at home, I ONLY buy them when it’s around $20, never more. Anything more, you’re REALLY overpaying.But lately, they’ve been going on sale for around $15. I heard, it’s because they are finally ditching the lightning cable. Everything will switch to USB-C, and these will become obsolete. Aw well, more discount for me. I will be using my iPhone 13 for a while.

Yes, it works but..
Initially they sent me what seemed to be an already opened box with a black USB adapter (that wasn’t an Apple product btw) that someone just placed in there. Usually Apple products have that plastic tab with the green arrow that you’re supposed to pull off to open the packaging but the one I got had just a piece of tape. I assume someone swapped it out w/ a fake product. I immediately requested a replacement and thankfully they sent me the correct one a day later. It’s definitely a genuine Apple product but just beware in case they send you a fake one like they did for me..

The Real Deal
The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter is a true gem in the world of charging accessories. What sets this charger apart is its fast charging capability, which ensures that my iPhone gets powered up in record time. The peace of mind that comes with using an official Apple product, knowing it’s been rigorously tested for compatibility and safety, is priceless. While knock-off versions might lure with lower prices, they simply can’t match the reliability and performance of the genuine Apple adapter. The difference in quality, speed, and long-term durability is evident, making this charger a wise investment for any iPhone user who values both efficiency and safety.
