One of my favorite anchor chargers! -- PRO/CON LIST BELOW

Definitely one of my favorite Anker chargers. IT COMES WITH FOLDING PINS (if you've seen my review of the Powerport Atom 30W you'll understand my exaggeration here). charge (because 18W is the power of the standard charger that comes with the new iPad Pro). However, this Anker product is smaller and more portable (due to the foldable prongs) compared to Apple's 18W USB-C charger. I also use this to charge my Nintendo Switch (but it won't work in docked mode with your TV; handheld or tabletop mode only - TV mode requires 39W, but that's not a problem as I wasn't planning on using this for docked to use mode TV). I also use it with a USB-C to Lightning cable to quickly charge my phone. This is the same fast 30W USB-C adapter for iPhone fast charging as they don't put more than 18W through this cable. So if you just want to fast charge your iPhone (or 2017 iPad Pro 10.5/12.9), use the 30W port. If you want to charge your new iPad Pro 2018 quickly, get the 30W charger. PROS: If you haven't figured it out yet, the size and folding pins. It also has a blue LED to let you know it's getting power from an outlet. It's in a small form factor, so you should be able to plug another adapter into a wall socket next to it. I'm using this with a PowerPort cube so I don't have the ports next to each other. Unless one of your plugs is too big, it shouldn't work next to the other. It's hard to give him more positive votes; it does what it needs with no problems. Anker is a case in point as it is a great product. CONS: Nothing really. It would be nice if it was higher performance, but the technology isn't there yet. Give him a few/several years.
