Anker sits among our favorite brands for accessories and gadgets, ranging from GaN chargers to power banks to USB-C cables and more. Stuff for your desk, stuff for your travels, and everything in between. Even better is when you’re able to grab Anker gear at a discount. Right now, a bunch of their stuff is on sale on Amazon... so I’ve rounded up the most standout deals worth grabbing today. Deals at a glance Anker 100W USB-C Cable (2-pack) — $12.99 Anker Nano 45W GaN Charger — $25.99 (was $39.99) Anker Prime 160W 3-Port GaN Charger — $115.99 (was $149.99) Anker Prime 250W Charging Station — $149.99 Anker Prime Foldable MagSafe Charger — $99.99 (was $149.99) Anker 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank — $119.99 Anker Nano 6-in-1 Travel Power Strip — $39.99 (was 49.99) Anker 10-in-1 Power Strip — $25.99 Anker Nano 13-in-1 Docking Station w/ Hub — $111.99 (was $149.99) Anker 6-in-1 USB-C Hub — $39.99 Anker 100W USB-C Cable (2-pack) Anker Who is this for? The Anker 100W USB-C Cable (2-pack) is a smart pickup if you’re still using the slow cables that came included with your various devices. Toss them in favor of these 100W cords to unlock full charging power on all but the fastest charger blocks and power adapters. These are 6-foot cables, so you can plug into your phone even while you’re on the couch or bed and not be tethered to the wall. Why is this deal good? These aren’t officially on sale, but for $12.99 for the 2-pack, you’re paying a measly $6.50 per cable. Normally you’d get cables capped out at 60W for that much, so the deal value is self-explanatory. The included cable ties are a small but genuinely useful touch, too. View on Amazon Anker Nano 45W GaN Charger Anker Who is this for? The tiny Anker Nano 45W GaN Charger is for smartphone users who want faster and smarter charging without lugging around a large brick. If you’re an iPhone user, it’s even better because it can specifically recognize newer models and smartly adjust power delivery accordingly. It can take an iPhone 17 Pro from 0% to 50% in just 20 minutes, and at night you can slip it into Care Mode for slower overnight charging that avoids overheating. Why is this deal good? At $25.99, you’re saving a full 25 percent off the usual price. On top of the 45W charging speed, it has travel-friendly foldable prongs. The smart display is a nice bonus, too, where you can see exactly how fast it’s charging whatever’s plugged in. View on Amazon Anker Prime 160W 3-Port GaN Charger Anker Who is this for? The Anker Prime 160W 3-Port GaN Charger is for people who need a way to charge up a laptop while also charging a phone and whatever else. The main USB-C port delivers 140W of charging even when all the ports are being used, offering enough for all but the most power-hungry laptops. Despite pushing out that much power, the whole unit is roughly the size of an AirPods Pro case. Why is this deal good? At $115.99, down from $149.99, you’re getting $35 off a fast GaN charger that earns its asking price. This is among the lower prices we’ve seen for this model, and it’s a great price to pay for a charger that can replace your laptop brick altogether. View on Amazon Anker Prime 250W Charging Station Anker Who is this for? The Anker Prime 250W Charging Station is for the tech enthusiast who has too many devices at home and struggles to keep them all charged. The 6-port layout includes four USB-C and two USB-A ports, with the main USB-C port capable of 140W of charging and the whole device capable of up to 250W total. A 2.26-inch LCD display shows real-time charging status and speed at a glance, and a smart control dial lets you adjust charging outputs on the fly. Why is this deal good? Even at $150, this is a great deal. Chargers with this much total output and a 140W port typically sit well above this price, and many don’t even have a smart LCD display or control dial to fiddle with power distribution. View on Amazon Anker Prime Foldable MagSafe Charger Simon Jary Who is this for? The Anker Prime Foldable MagSafe Charger is a 3-in-1 wireless charging station for Apple users. If you’re juggling an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods every day, you can toss their individual chargers and mount them all in one place with this. The Qi2.2-certified magnetic pad delivers up to 25W, enough to take an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in under 30 minutes. It measures 3.74 x 2.38 x 1.22 inches, weighs just 0.5 pounds, and can even fold flat to slip into a pocket. Why is this deal good? At $99.99, down from $149.99, you’re saving $50 on an impeccable all-round wireless charging winner. You aren’t just paying for fast wireless charging, but the space-saving convenience of a clutter-free desk and keeping all your devices in one place. View on Amazon Anker 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank Anker Who is this for? The Anker 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank is, as the name would suggest, for on-the-go workers who need a laptop-capable power bank. Not all power banks suffice for laptops. You want at least 100W of charging through a single port, and that’s what this one offers: three USB-C connections that each top out at 100W. But the kicker? One of those USB-C ports is a retractable cable and another doubles as the carrying strap. That means two built-in cords, so you don’t need to carry anything else with it—just the power bank and your laptop. Why is this deal good? At a straight $120, there’s no added discount here right now — though it goes on sale often. But if you’re in need of a laptop power bank right now , it’s a good value for those built-in cables that each support laptop charging speeds. View on Amazon Anker Nano 6-in-1 Travel Power Strip Anker Who is this for? The Anker Nano 6-in-1 Travel Power Strip is built for anyone juggling multiple devices at a single desk, be it remote workers, students, or home office regulars who are constantly charging phones, tablets, and accessories without enough outlets to go around. With two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and two AC outlets packed into a unit barely larger than your palm, it handles everything without the clutter. Why is this deal good? At $39.99, down from $49.99, the 67W output is fast enough to top up your phone in under an hour without taking up AC outlets. The 5-foot cord gives you enough flexibility to handle all your devices from exactly how far away you want, and the flat plug sits flush against the wall. View on Amazon Anker 10-in-1 Power Strip Anker Who is this for? The Anker 10-in-1 Power Strip might not seem like much, offering six AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. But it’s a great at-home charging station for two reasons: first, those USB ports mean you don’t have to waste precious AC outlets on power adapters, and second, the AC outlets are situated outwards so the plugs you plug in don’t fight each other for space. Why is this deal good? At $26, you’re getting a versatile 10-in-1 charging-and-power solution for a genuinely low price. That’s a good price for an everyday accessory that fits up to 10 devices. The one caveat is that the USB ports share a combined 20W output, so reserve them for smaller gadgets like wireless earbuds. View on Amazon Anker Nano 13-in-1 Docking Station with Detachable Hub Mark Hachman / Foundry Who is this for? The Anker Nano 13-in-1 Docking Station is a stunner for one main reason: it has a pop-out hub that you can take with you when you’re on the go. Hook your laptop into the full 13-port dock in your home office, then take the 6-port hub for use at the coffee shop. Between HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, USB-A, and SD/microSD card slots, this 2-in-1 accessory is ideal for remote workers who are constantly working between home and somewhere else. Why is this deal good? At $111.99, down from $150, you’re saving about $38 on a dock that serves double duty. You’re basically getting two goodies in one. Yeah, it’s been cheaper in the past, but it’s still a solid value at this price and earns its place on your desk. View on Amazon Anker 6-in-1 USB-C Hub Anker Who is this for? If your laptop has limited ports and you want to add a few more, but you don’t want to invest in a full-blown docking station, then the Anker 6-in-1 USB-C Hub is a solid pick. It adds 4K HDMI, USB-C data, double USB-A, Ethernet, and USB-C passthrough charging. Portable enough for on-the-go use, slim enough to use at home without unnecessarily cluttering up your desk. Why is this deal good? For just $39.99, you’re getting an essential hub that doesn’t overcomplicate things. Six ports in a pocket-sized unit is a solid value at this price, and the 65W passthrough charging is useful since many budget hubs skip it. View on Amazon

The Twitter brand is back. It’s not how you remember it

Arguing that Elon Musk abandoned the old Twitter name and logo when he rebranded the social network to X , a group called Operation Bluebird has launched Twitter.now , an X alternative that brings back the Twitter branding and logo with a twist. [Images: Twitter, Operation Bluebird] The old Twitter logo was a blue bird called Larry, named after the Boston Celtics star Larry Bird, and its last iteration was released in 2012 and made from 13 overlapping circles . The logo for Twitter.now was designed differently, with feathers that flare out and suggests, perhaps, a phoenix rising from the ashes, but the colors and basic silhouette are still there. An error page shows the bird on a dead whale, recalling the old Twitter’s “fail whale” graphic used during service outages. It also brings back Twitter’s iconic bright blue. The site is selling early access starting at $20, and states at the top of the page next to its logo that it’s “not affiliated with X Corp.” Still, it retains enough of the classic Twitter visual identity to evoke the old brand. [Screenshot: Twitter.now] Operation Bluebird co-founder and former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates wrote on LinkedIn that the site “is not an attempt to recreate the old platform.” While it has some of the same features as classic Twitter, like handles, retweets, and replies, the creators emphasize a different kind of user experience that speaks to current frustrations some have with Musk’s X and social media today. An automated fact-checking feature on Twitter.now called Vera runs on Google’s Gemini and fact-checks posts, and in its “Birdhouse Constitution,” a publicly posted list of values, the company highlights things such as protecting freedom of speech but not “freedom of reach” and the fair application of rules. “Fame, wealth, office, and follower count buy no special treatment. No one is above the rules. No one is beneath them,” it says. X sued Operation Bluebird last year , and attorneys for X wrote in their suit that Operation Bluebird was “brazenly attempting to steal the world-famous Twitter brand” despite having no rights to it, and that X Corp. owned the Twitter and tweet trademarks and the bluebird Twitter logo. Operation Bluebird, which did not respond to a request for comment, contends X abandoned its trademarks. X saw its daily active user base fall about 10% last year, and the percentage of U.S. adults who say they ever use the platform was flat from 2024 to 2025, according to Pew Research Center . Meanwhile Meta’s own Twitter clone, Threads , hit 500 million monthly active users in June. In January, Threads had 141.5 million daily active users on mobile, more than X’s 125 million. X has hit a ceiling under Musk, but there’s obviously still an appetite for the sort of “public town square” social media experience it once offered. By bringing elements back of the the classic Twitter branding, this attempt to make a new Twitter is appealing to nostalgia for the feed before Musk or X.
