The U.K. version is quite nice, it has the folding pins which was previously only available in a 5w version.

For the same price you can get USB-C chargers with more wattage and/or ports on Amazon that give fast charging too.

So no more bitching about the price of a fast charger??? lol. Who am I kidding. Apple could sell these for $5 and people would still complain.

Do people stop to think that maybe apple doesn’t include a fast charger because they know it’s going to kill the battery faster???
