Xiaomi Trolls Apple, Launching Cheaper & Lighter 20W Charger For iPhone 12 Series

Earlier last week, Apple has officially launched the iPhone 12 product line with a controversial decision, which is the removal of the charger and the EarPods from the box to "protect the environment". Not only with the iPhone 12 series, but this change also applies to older iPhone models, including iPhone 11, iPhone XR, and iPhone SE 2020.

The decision of Apple to not include chargers and EarPods with the iPhones accidentally created a "lucrative" market for third-party accessory manufacturers. Taking that opportunity, Xiaomi has just launched a new ZMI-branded Power Delivery (PD) charger for Apple's latest iPhone 12 series.

The new ZMI charger supports USB PD 3.0 fast charging technology with a maximum capacity of 20W via a USB-C output port. This product is being sold for CNY 39 (around Rs. 430), which is only 1/3 of Apple’s 20W charger (priced at $19 ~ Rs. 1,400).

Not only that, the new ZMI charger is also compatible with Quick Charge 3.0 and FCP fast charging standards, so it is fully capable of 20W fast charging for the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Huawei Mate 30 series.

ZMI's new 20W charger weighs 42.8 grams, which is even lighter than Apple's charger. In addition, it also has a compact size, so that you can completely take it with you whenever traveling, going to work, or going out.

The product supports a voltage range of 100 - 240V and has the ability to automatically adjust the current to suit each device as well as multiple protections to protect the battery, and ensures users’ safety.
