The reason I like this charger and cable.
-
It is simple. Specifically designed for Apple iPhone / iPads. Pretty much exacting specs to the official 20W Apple Charger. No useless complications and electronics inside such as no multi port power distribution, no PPS (Apple don’t use PPS). Cygnett 1m USB-C USB 2.0 certified cable is the same spec as the Apple official cable too.
-
Runs super cool. Apple chargers are bulkier due to better heat dissipation and reliability and the Cygnett 20W is designed with the same ethos to not be ultra small but for better thermals.

30W chargers do save 5 mins going from 20% – 100% when charging iPhones 14 – 16 but creates slightly more heat…useless.
-
Most existing 20W – 65W chargers from other Ozbargain fav brands (Anker, Ugreen, Belkin) are 2 – 3 years old it seems from my own research. All 3 of these brands are having constant sales recently to get rid of them for incoming updated 2025 models. These Cygnett chargers were just updated for 2025 already.

Aussie brand that is stocked in almost all shops in Aus with a great reputation. I just feel better having this plugged into the 240v outlet vs Amazon brands. Not dissing other brands like Ugreen, Belkin, Anker, they have just over complicated simple chargers over the years with a spec race that is JUST NOT NEEDED for most.
Yes I know the super nerds on iPhone battery health will say that the Apple 5 – 12W chargers are the best for battery health and for keeping the phones much cooler than 20W chargers but the speed and convenience factor of charging at 20W is huge. Now, going to 30W chargers from 20W is useless as it saves a few mins only. 20W is the best middle ground. If you are an Apple household and do not need to charge other brands of Android devices and want dedicated Apple iPhone / iPad chargers closest to the spec but cheaper than official Apple ones, these are it.
Don’t be tempted to pay $2 extra for the 25W Cygnett model on GCC for $14 which has ‘more features, higher watts and better specs with Samsung compatible PPS modes’. What it really means is more heat, more charging protocols, more electronic complications and doodads you will never use being an Apple user. KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid.
