It is indisputable that the command gun of the 20W charger competition was slammed by Apple.
On October 14, 2020, Apple released the much-anticipated iPhone 12 series. The highlights of this upgrade include 5G and A14 bionic chips, as well as environmentally-friendly packaging and environmentally-friendly chargers. Although Apple’s slogan is to speed up the upgrade, this speed-up obviously does not include charging. The charging power jumped from 18W to 20W, which is a naked Intel behavior.
According to the global 5G smartphone shipment report for the first quarter of 2021 released by Strategy Analytics, it is not difficult to find that as the new wave of Apple conferences passes, iPhone shipments volume are gradually decreasing, and new phones from OPPO, VIVO, Samsung, and Xiaomi continue to The hot market has been rising steadily compared to the previous quarter.
But the lean camel is bigger than the horse, the iPhone is still well-deserved No.1 in the 5G market share.
As the iPhone 13 is approaching, more and more new product specifications have been revealed. Conventional upgrades such as CPU, camera, screen, etc. are all expected, and whether the battery life of the iPhone, which has been widely criticized, can be improved is also the biggest concern of the big guys.
The overall expansion of the battery capacity of the new iPhone is basically a matter of fact as the industry chain continues to break the news. It is imperative to upgrade fast charging accordingly, and the latest news is to upgrade to 30W charging currently.
If you did it, stay the course! this time Apple will naturally not include a charger. The market once again ushered in a new opportunity-the 30W tide is about to hit, and Apple will once again call off the 30W charger competition this time.
Market status
Of course, after several storms, this issue of Amazon's list can be said to be completely different. Let's talk about the recent sales of Amazon's 20W category chargers.
This kind of behavior is common in Chinese e-commerce platforms, but these brands are finally planted in the hands of Amazon, which has a strict system. The ban of tens of thousands of stores is unprecedented for cross-border e-commerce. The big tsunami destroyed countless companies, large and small.
As the epidemic has not yet receded, e-commerce, as one of the few industries that have grown against the trend, is full of challenges and opportunities. However, it is not feasible to swipe orders and other means.
Not only that, in the last month, more than 14,000 cross-border e-commerce trademarks were revoked due to the illegal registration of trademarks in the United States. Suddenly, the trademarks and brands used in trade transactions actually expired, and it is not known that more businesses have been affected.
The reason is that the registered brand trademarks in the United States need to be submitted by American lawyers, and some qualified Chinese companies can also act as agents for related businesses. The problem lies in the agency qualifications. The Shenzhen intellectual property company embezzled the name of an American law firm to apply for a trademark. Through this illegal act, it greatly reduced the registration cost and lowered the price.
For a long time, because of the irregularities in the market, many businesses have developed the habit of opportunism. Nowadays, with the market's norms and the changes in people's consumption concepts, integrity and compliance is the real wise protection of one's life.
Amazon General List
After the gossip, get on the list! The first is Amazon's official 20W charger category "Best Sellers" list, which is updated every hour. The data is taken from July 5.
Apple 20W PD charger
The 20W charger continues the ID of Apple's 18W charger in design. It adopts fixed pins, the main shell is white painted bright surface, and the transition between the sides of the side is smooth, and the hand feels good. The top surface of the output is equipped with a USB-C interface, a white tongue, and a centered design. The end surface is light gray, which matches well with the white painted surface.
In terms of performance, the output protocol of Apple's 20W PD charger only supports USB PD2.0 fast charging protocol, with two fixed voltage gears of 5V3A and 9V2.22A.
StinkLight 20W PD charger
In terms of output gears, there are three output gears: 5V3A, 9V2.2A, and 12V1.67A. The charger measures 1.97 x 1.97 x 0.39 inches and weighs about 83g. After investigation by IETCHARGER, StinkLight is a brand of a Chinese company.

Amoner 20W PD charger
UGREEN 20W PD charger
YICSAM 20W PD charger set
MAILESI 25W PD charger
Quntis 20W PD charger
The appearance of Quntis is very round and feels good. The measurements are about 0.751.351.5in, and the volume is moderate. The "Quntis" logo is printed on the side of the charger, and the word "PD" is printed next to the USB-C interface, indicating that it supports PD fast charging.
What other trends can be seen from the rankings?
After reading the above ten products, it can be said to be a big change. With the last reshuffle, many new faces appeared on the list this time. Most of these chargers use similar shapes, most of which are from China, and the source of fast charging is well-deserved.
After reading these, let's analyze the buying habits of consumers in different countries from the price.
According to the order of prices, the two products that bear the brunt of the combination package, this kind of consumption habit is rare in China. The average price of the other products is around $10, and most of them come with a C to lightning data cable. After all, this category is almost tailor-made for the iPhone. The highest price of a single product is of course Apple. The single product of the charger is priced at 16.47 US dollars, the lowest is Green Alliance, which is $9.98.
The second is the number of user comments, which can reflect the interaction between everyone and the brand to a certain extent.
The number of user reviews interactions mainly refers to the product evaluations consciously given by consumers. There are often two extremes in the reviews. One is that they like the product very much, and the other is that the user experience is extremely poor. It often shows that there are more real evaluations, which have a certain reference value for potential consumers.
Undoubtedly, after eliminating a bunch of big users, the number of reviews of Apple chargers is far ahead, more than the other nine charger reviews combined. The second is Quntis and Green Alliance. These two chargers were also on the list before and have a certain accumulation of fans. The remaining brands have relatively few reviews due to their previous low exposure, around one thousand to two thousand.
The last is the ranking of the ten chargers, which is also an important reference data for everyone to buy.
Consumers can leave their own comments, so they can also score naturally, and the platform will summarize the scores, and then consumers' opinions will be concretized. This is not only the best consumption reference for potential consumers, but also an important basis for the brand to analyze and review products. We sort these 10 products according to the level of Amazon user ratings.
The first one is naturally the Apple 20W charger, with stable quality control and impeccable workmanship, except for the price. The second tier includes the following four chargers, each with a score of 4.7, indicating the use experience and Apple’s original product still has a very small gap; the third echelon came to 4.5 points, and these chargers all come with a charging cable. The tenth place scored 4.4 points, which is not far from the first place by 4.8 points. It shows that the product is basically in line with everyone's expectations.
Summarize from IETCHARGER
The introduction of 10 chargers is complete, including one 25W PD charger, one 18W PD charger, and the rest are 20W power. These chargers all use a fixed pin design, which may be related to consumer habits.
These 10 chargers are calculated based on the unit price, and the Apple 20W PD charger ranks first at US$16.47. The lowest price is Greenlink’s US$9.98. Greenlink, as an old charger manufacturer, has excellent product quality but the lowest price, which may be related to the lack of a charging cable.
In terms of the number of product reviews, Apple’s 20W charger is far ahead, followed by Quntis, Green Alliance and MAILESI. Products with a certain number of fans are naturally evaluated more, and emerging brands behind are also struggling to catch up.
Finally, there is the score. Apple is naturally at the top of the list, followed by KOZOPO, Amoner, Green Alliance, and MAILESI, all with a score of 4.7. The chargers of Stinklight, juusmart, ipremuin, and Quntis have scored 4.5 points, which are relatively average.
After reading this issue of the 20W list, I have to feel that the last store closure storm has not yet receded. The well-known cross-border brands that have dominated the list in the past have left plenty of opportunities for more emerging brands, except for the absence of Green Alliance. Almost all brands come from China, the source of fast charging.
With the fast charging upgrade of the new iPhone, there will be major changes in the market, let us wait and see. For more industry news, please continue to pay attention to IETCHARGER.
