Weighing less than a smartphone and only an inch thick, this compact adapter fits easily in the palm of your hand. Available for $19.99 on Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Anker, it marks a $6 discount from its previous price.\n\nThe Nano's four integrated prongs are compatible with power outlets in over 200 countries and regions. Featuring two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, it offers a single USB-C port delivering up to 20W, enough to charge an iPhone 17 to 50% in less than 30 minutes.
