Looking at it you’d have no idea where they get the 18w of true PD Charging from, but it delivers. Darn it though, I was taking a break from chargers for a bit (take a look at my reviews to see what I mean, or give me a follow) but I saw this drop and had to get one. It looks almost exactly like the iconic Apple 5w unit included in the box with every iphone for the last 8 years...EXCEPT THIS ONE KICKS BUTT.
I have been using this unit for a week or so as of this review, and using this charger to recharge my XS max, iPhone XR, and iPad Pro 2018 with no issue. I have tried Anker, Aukey, Choetech, and Apple cables on it and they all work fine. I ran it on my MacBook Pro 13 for a couple days (float charge, just keeping it at 100%) and it was warm and upset - but performed flawlessly not tripping on thermal or going beyond 20w.
Now if you have read my reviews in the past you know I panned Anker for their PowerPort Atom 30w PD unit for being reasonably sized and not having folding prongs. On the PowerPort III Nano, I am ok with it. It is still small enough to disappear into your pocket that the prongs don’t bother me.
The finish currently available is a white matte square-tube design with a silver ANKER logo on the side, and slightly bubbled gloss white face with IQ3 on it. Although a little larger than the Apple unit, if I handed it to you in the dark you couldn’t tell the difference. There are no LED’s that I could see whatsoever, and the 120vac prongs stuck in every outlet I tested without issue.
Overall, this is not an all-in-one USB-C charger that I would recommend for your laptop, Nintendo Switch, etc. I would however recommend it for:
- Anyone looking for a compact/power-dense charger to keep in your pocket or bag, this is it.
- Anyone getting a new pro iphone and excited to try usb-c to lightning and ‘fast charging’ - just leave the gigantic Apple unit in the box and get this one.
- If you love the Apple 5w design and just wish it was faster, this is the charger for you.
When I bought it it was 19.99$ which was a fair price considering the current its capable of. But I am hoping we will see these hit 15$ for Holiday 2019 and/or a combo deal with a cable for under 25$. Either way , if you are buying this for 20$ or less its a value. Over that, you start to get into some more competent options that have more current available (RAVpower comes to mind).
So far this unit has been very reliable despite my attempts to torture it. If anything changes, I will update this review to reflect that immediately.
I hope you found my review helpful - if you did, thank you.
If you did not, please leave me something in the comments or a question so I can make it right.

I’m very impressed. It’s almost the same size as apple 5w charger. It charges my phone very fast and I’m happy that I made purchase.
I also attached some pictures comparing with some other chargers( Anker PowerPort Atom PD1, Aukey 18w PD and apple
5w)
Highly recommend ✅

From left to right:
(1) Anker PowerPort III Nano - 18W PIQ 3.0 USB C
(2) Anker Powerport III Mini - 30W PIQ 3.0 USB C
(3) RAVPower GaN - 30W PD 3.0 USB C
(4) RAVPower Dual Port - 18W PD USB C and 15W USB A (Combined 15W)
The PowerPort III Nano hits the spot for my EDC bag as I only need 18W for my phone.
Does the job!
Another well made, well priced charger from Anker.
