# Why You Should No Longer Consider Buying Apple Branded Chargers: A Comprehensive Guide
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the channel. Today, we’re diving into a topic I’ve been wanting to discuss for quite some time—why you should no longer consider purchasing Apple-branded chargers. I use pretty much every single Apple product, except their chargers, and I’ll explain why in today’s video.

## Why You Should Ditch Apple Branded Chargers
The first reason why you should no longer consider purchasing Apple-branded chargers is that Apple themselves has removed the chargers from iPhone boxes. Yes, I understand that Apple is aiming to reach their environmental goals and save space during shipping. However, by removing the chargers from the boxes, they now only include a lightning cable inside the box for your iPhone—specifically, a lightning-to-USB-C cable.
But here’s the catch: if you have an older iPhone model, like the iPhone 10r, iPhone 11, or any device older than the iPhone 12, you’re forced to buy Apple chargers to charge your iPhone unless there are better alternatives—which is exactly what I want to talk about in today’s video.
For example, here I have the charger that came with my MacBook—a 96-watt charger—and Apple only includes one port on this charger. Meanwhile, it would make more sense if they added two or three ports, especially since newer devices now use USB-C cables instead of lightning cables. While Apple’s goal is to be environmentally friendly, this approach doesn’t seem very eco-friendly in my opinion.
Take a look at this 35-watt dual-USB-C charger from Apple. You can find one for approximately $60 here in the U.S., and if you combine it with another charger (like the 96-watt one I mentioned earlier), the total price for both would be around $140 to $145. That’s a lot of money for two chargers, especially when there are more practical alternatives available.
Carrying two bulky chargers is neither convenient nor practical. One is very big, and having to manage multiple bricks isn’t ideal. This brings me to the next point—why not opt for a single, high-quality charger that can handle all your devices?

## Why I Recommend ugreen Chargers
The chargers I currently use in my studio are from the ugreen brand, and this is the brand I always go with now. Let me explain why.
Here’s the **uGreen Nexode 140W USB-C & USB-A Charger**—a game-changer for charging multiple devices. Not only does this charger provide more value than Apple’s options, but it also offers a sleek design that matches my aesthetic preferences. It comes in a space-gray color with a black matte finish, which looks stunning on any desk or travel setup.
With this charger, you get **two USB-C ports** and **one USB-A port**, allowing you to charge up to three devices simultaneously—such as two laptops and a phone, or your MacBook Pro, AirPods, and other accessories. The compact design ensures that it doesn’t take up too much space on your desk, and the built-in safety features (like overcharge protection) give me peace of mind while charging multiple high-powered devices.
One of my favorite things about this charger is its impressive performance. I can charge my 16-inch MacBook Pro from 0% to 50% in under 30 minutes using this charger, which is faster than most Apple-branded options. Plus, it comes with a **very long braided USB-C cable**, making it more portable and convenient for travel or on-the-go use.
The best part? This ugreen charger costs the same as two of Apple’s chargers combined but offers so much more functionality in one compact package. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality alternative to Apple’s overpriced and underwhelming chargers, this is the one I recommend.

This compact option is perfect if you want something smaller but still powerful enough to charge your iPhone quickly. Whether you’re using it at home, in the office, or while traveling, this charger delivers fast and efficient power to all your devices.
And here’s a bonus: I’ve included a **coupon code in the description** for an additional $30 off the Nexode 140W Charger. Be sure to check it out before making your purchase!

## Conclusion
So, why would you even consider purchasing Apple-branded chargers when they’ve removed them from the boxes—and when there are better options available? From saving space and reducing costs to offering more ports and superior performance, ugreen’s chargers are a smarter choice for anyone looking to charge multiple devices efficiently.
If environmental sustainability is your priority, then supporting brands like ugreen that focus on creating high-quality, long-lasting products makes sense. They’re not only better-looking but also more functional than Apple’s outdated options.
