I've kinda given up on Anker. They used to be AMAZING quality, and even better support. The last time I called them about a problem, the guy I spoke to was BEYOND rude, and so was the manager I was eventually transferred to.
Especially with all the stuff coming out about the Eufy shadiness, I probably will just buy WhateverBrand cables and battery packs on Amazon going forward. It's no longer worth paying extra for Anker.
PowerCore 24,000 mAh with Smart Digital Display for $119 isn't great. It was $75 earlier this year on Amazon. Guess I should have grabbed one then. Charges at 140W, so it's great for the MacBook Pro.
That just means to stay away from their security cameras, but their chargers remain of pretty high quality. I use a number of them to charge my devices and have no complaints in this regard.
Nothing wrong with their chargers per se, but I'd still prefer to not buy from a company that lies to it's customers and illegally takes images. There's something to be said about not promoting these fraudsters as an ethical issue.
Surprised to see you advertising Anker, Macrumors. A lot of companies have stopped taking their money when they were caught uploading private images and data to cameras that were advertised as "local" systems with no cloud uploads.
