Deep Dive: The Tech Explained

USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0

The magic behind the speed is USB Power Delivery (PD). Old USB-A chargers (the small squares) pushed a flat 5 Watts. This adapter negotiates with your phone. It starts at a high voltage (9V) to rush power into the battery when it is empty (the “Fast Charge” phase), and then intelligently lowers the speed as the battery fills up to prevent heat damage (the “Trickle Charge” phase). This is why your phone gets to 80% fast and then slows down—it’s protecting your battery’s chemical lifespan.

The “Fake” Charger Risk

In Kenya, the market is flooded with Ksh 800 “Apple” chargers. These fakes often lack the power regulation chips found in this original unit. A fake charger keeps pumping high voltage even when the phone gets hot, which can swell your battery or short-circuit the U2 charging IC on your iPhone’s motherboard (a common and expensive repair). Investing Ksh 3,500 now saves you a Ksh 10,000 battery replacement later.

MagSafe Synergy

If you use the magnetic MagSafe puck to charge your iPhone 12/13/14/15/16, you need a 20W adapter. If you plug a MagSafe charger into an older 18W or 5W brick, it will limit the wireless charging speed to a crawl (around 5W-7.5W). This 20W adapter unlocks the full 15W wireless fast charging potential of MagSafe.

Who Is This Perfect For?

• The iPhone Upgrader: You bought a new iPhone (12, 13, 14, 15, or 16) which no longer comes with a charger in the box. This is the essential missing piece.
• The “Battery Anxiety” Sufferer: You use your phone heavily for Instagram, TikTok, and Emails. You need to be able to plug in for 20 minutes at a coffee shop and get enough power to last the rest of the day.
• The iPad User: It is a perfect lightweight travel charger for iPad Air and iPad Pro users who don’t want to carry the bulky MacBook chargers.

Alternatives & Competitors

• Anker 20W Cube: The Compact Rival (Smaller size, same speed, trusted brand, often slightly cheaper).
• Samsung 25W PD Adapter: The Cross-Platform Choice (Works well, but optimized for Samsung; Apple devices will cap it at ~20W anyway).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: Does this come with a cable? A: No. Apple does not include the cable in the box.13 You will need a USB-C to Lightning Cable (for iPhone 14 and older) or a USB-C to USB-C Cable (for iPhone 15/16 and iPad). We sell these high-quality cables separately at Exelic Gadgets.
• Q: Will this damage my older iPhone (e.g., iPhone 7)? A: No. It is perfectly safe. The adapter is smart; it will detect that the iPhone 7 cannot handle fast charging and will automatically lower the speed to standard charging rates.
• Q: Is this the 2-pin or 3-pin version? A: Our stock is typically the 3-Pin UK Style (Type G), which fits directly into standard Kenyan wall sockets without needing a converter.
• Q: How do I know it’s original? A: Authentic Apple adapters have perfect seam alignment, heavy build quality (not hollow), and serial numbers that match Apple’s database. At Exelic Gadgets, we guarantee authenticity with a warranty.
• Q: Can I use it to charge my MacBook? A: Technically yes, but it will be very slow. MacBooks generally require 30W, 60W, or 96W. This 20W adapter can trickle charge a MacBook Air while it’s sleeping, but it won’t keep up if you are using the laptop.
