Anker has launched its new Nano 45W charger with an integrated smart display, now available for $30 during launch pricing. The compact adapter, first unveiled at CES 2026, packs surprising power in a small form factor that could easily be mistaken for a 20W or 30W charger. Despite its size, it delivers full 45W output capable of charging iPhone 17 Pro models to 50% in just 20 minutes.

What sets this charger apart is its 180-degree rotating prongs and built-in display that shows real-time charging speeds. The display also intelligently recognizes connected devices to optimize charging rates automatically. Users can access a 'care mode' by tapping the charger, which slows charging to preserve battery health during overnight use. The USB-C port has been moved to the top to accommodate the display.

Available now in Black, White, Orange, and Blue (with some colors requiring on-page coupons), the charger will retail for $40 after the launch sale ends. The orange color option matches the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro perfectly. With its combination of compact design, smart features, and competitive pricing, Anker's new charger represents a practical upgrade for Apple users looking to maximize charging efficiency.
