Anker’s new iPhone charger has a screen and claims to make your iPhone 17 last longer

Anker is preparing to launch a new charger, and this one is clearly built with iPhone owners in mind. The launch date is set for September 27, and the company has already started teasing some of the details.

The upcoming charger takes on a rounded shape with a glossy front. Anker also added a built-in display, something rarely seen in chargers. The preview images even showed “iPhone 17 Pro” glowing on the screen.

The sides and back are finished in a frosted texture, while the entire body comes in black. The look feels deliberate and modern.

Anker says the charger can “recognize your iPhone” and deliver safe, quick charging. It promises to handle the iPhone 17 series but also works with older iPhones.

The company is even claiming it can “extend the shelf life” of the iPhone 17, though details on how remain vague. Either way, the pitch is clear: this isn’t just another basic charging block.

The charger comes with what Anker describes as “Easter eggs” in the design. That means small details in color, texture, and interaction that may surprise users.

It has a single USB-C port, so this isn’t meant to be a multi-device powerhouse. Instead, it feels focused on phone users who want something compact.

One standout feature is its foldable plug. The plug can rotate upright, shift to the left, or fold flat for storage. The range covers about 180 degrees, making it easier to fit into cramped spots.

Anker says the design is for “small spaces.” Whether it’s a desk, a wall outlet behind furniture, or a crowded power strip, the plug should adjust smoothly.

Chargers are often overlooked, but this one is meant to stand out. By adding a display, a flexible plug, and tighter iPhone integration, Anker is betting on details.

It’s not aiming to be the most versatile charger, since it only carries one USB-C port. Instead, it’s designed for those who just want a reliable way to charge their iPhone with some extra style.

For now, there are only teasers of this charger, but they are enough to spark curiosity. iPhone 17 users might have a new go-to option, and older iPhone owners could also find it appealing.
