This 40W charger was Eighteen Buck, now Twelve as iPhone users weigh multi device charging

A two-pack of 40W USB-C wall chargers, each offering four ports with Power Delivery and Quick Charge support, now reflects $12.15 total, down from $17.99. The change positions the product at approximately $6 per charger, a figure that intersects with iPhone user behavior around charging infrastructure.

iPhone 16, 15, 14, and 13 users increasingly manage multiple devices requiring USB-C or Lightning charging simultaneously. The four-port design addresses a common household friction: too many devices, too few outlets, and too many individual chargers occupying outlet space. The adjusted pricing lands in a zone where users start questioning whether one multi-port charger replaces several single-port blocks.

Apple’s own 35W Dual USB-C Power Adapter retails for $59, creating a reference point that makes third-party multi-port options appear significantly lower. The $12.15 figure for two chargers shifts the calculation from “Is this worth it?” to “Why wouldn’t I try this?” Users describe this price tier as low enough to test without commitment.

The inclusion of both USB-C Power Delivery and Quick Charge compatibility reflects the current iPhone ecosystem reality: users own a mix of devices across generations, some using Lightning, others USB-C. A charger that handles both protocols through multiple ports reduces the need to match specific chargers to specific devices, a task iPhone users describe as “annoying but necessary.”

Multi-port charger adoption tends to accelerate when pricing drops below psychological thresholds. At $12.15 for two units, the product enters a range where iPhone users pursuing desk or nightstand charging consolidation begin acting rather than researching. The two-pack format supports placing one charger in a primary location and one in a secondary space, addressing typical iPhone user charging geography.

Charging accessory pricing remains one of the most active comparison categories within the Apple ecosystem, where first-party pricing establishes expectations but third-party options drive actual purchase behavior.
