Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is heading into the weekend. It’s a major sales event featuring many different smartphones and smartphone accessories at significant discounts. I searched Amazon for great iPhone-related deals, and one that stood out is a compact charger.
Right now, the Anker Nano 45W Smart Display charger is on sale for $28, a 30% discount off its original price. Every single color option has received a discount, but only the black and white models are $28. The blue and orange chargers are a bit more expensive at $30 each. But that’s still a solid 25% discount.
Also: My new favorite Anker charger has a useful smart display (and won’t break the bank)
As its name suggests, this charger comes with a little touchscreen on the back. The display provides real-time charging information, showing exactly how much power your iPhone is receiving and its battery percentage. No need to pick up the phone and look at its screen, just see where it’s at. You can simply look at the charger’s screen. Tapping the screen once shows the real-time charging status. Tapping it twice switches modes, and pressing down for two seconds rotates the display.
ZDNET reviewer Adrian Kingsley-Hughes tested the Anker Nano 45W, and said the smart screen “makes this charger stand out in an ocean of otherwise boring chargers.”

The Anker Smart Display Charger is compact, fitting easily inside bags and pants pockets. Its electrical progs fold up for easier storage. When you need to use it, you can flip the progs forward for on-wall attachments or all the way down if the outlets are on a tablet. Despite its small size, it delivers up to 45W of power, capable of quickly charging your smartphone.
There’s something very important I need to mention about the Anker Smart Display Charger: it only works with select iPhones and iPads. A full list is available on the Amazon listing. Supporting devices include the iPhone 17 series, iPhone 16 series, and the 2024 iPad Pro.
How I rated this deal
Per ZDNET’s rating system, I rate this deal 4/5. That number applies only to the black and white chargers. For the blue and orange models, that number drops down to a 3/5. Still pretty good, but you save more money getting the black Anker Smart Display Charger.
I would recommend it to everybody who owns a supporting iPhone model. Not only does it recharge mobile devices quickly and lets you see its status, but it also supports the TÜV-certified Care Mode feature. This actively lowers the charging temperature by up to nine degrees Fahrenheit, helping maintain good battery health.
