Only 5W? What makes Apple's 5W better (no, it's not 15W when portable)?

But yeah, OK, you can attach it with magnets to the back, that's worth double the cost. Oh wait, make that triple, since you need the case.

I better stop now, shitting on Apple was a favorite pasttime of mine.

I mean, as someone looking to manufacture and sell a premium product, I'm pretty happy with it, people will pay anything for imaginary benefits.

I missed that it doesn't support 15W charging when portable. That's erodes quite a bit of the benefits then. No reason you need the magsafe case, as far as I can tell though.

Also, the Anker device does have magnets. Looks like they operate just like the magsafe.
