Amazon Cuts Ugreen 65W 3-Port Charger to $23 as iPhone 18 Pro Ships Without One

3 articles · Updated · Gizmodo · Sep 16

Summary

  • $23 buys Ugreen’s Nexode 65W GaN charger on Amazon’s Early Prime Deals, down from $39 as a low-cost add-on for iPhone 18 Pro buyers.
  • The charger targets Apple’s no-in-box-adapter setup by offering two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, enough to power an iPhone, MacBook Air and a third device from one outlet.
  • Ugreen says the unit can charge a MacBook Air to 51% in 30 minutes, while GaN II design cuts heat and shrinks the body to about 50% smaller than a standard 61W charger.
  • Apple’s own alternatives cost $19 for a single-port 20W adapter and $49 for a single-port 67W model, leaving the discounted Ugreen cheaper than Apple’s closest equivalent while covering more devices.
