The original usb c wall charger was a USB to mains adapter that allowed you to use a mains power socket as a USB port. It was a pretty common thing in the late 90s. The new usb c wall chargers are the same concept but it’s a bit more compact and more durable.
Like the usb c, the apple usb wall charger is a wall charger that converts a USB port into a regular USB port. The usb c wall charger can charge a smartphone from a USB port as well. However, the apple usb wall charger also has a different case (that has a USB port built in).
We still have no idea what the apple usb wall charger is supposed to be used for, but the case does have a USB port built in. In other words, the apple usb wall charger is a USB to USB power bank. So when you plug your iPhone into the wall, it can charge your phone. Kind of like a cable modem. We’re not sure if that’s a good idea or not, but this is what I’m going for.
The usb cable is a standard USB cable, so you can plug your phone into any USB port. However, you’ll also need to plug the usb wall charger into another USB port to charge it.
The apple usb wall charger is not the only one out there. There are many that have USB power banks. You can buy them in different sizes. The chargers are usually USB to USB or USB to micro USB.
Well that’s really it I guess. If you want to go all out and make your own devices, you can look into making a custom usb wall dock. They are very easy to make and are usually around $5 to $10. There are also a couple of cheaper ones out there that are probably much easier to use.
All it really does is add power. Some of these power banks also have other functions as well. For instance, if you have a usb hub, you can use it to power some devices that are powered by a usb wall outlet. This can be pretty useful if you have a lot of devices or computers in your house that are a little weak. In many cases, you can just plug something like a cell phone directly into the usb wall outlet and use it as a remote control.
Most power banks have a USB port to power a USB hub. It’s not really necessary though because you can plug your USB hub into the wall outlet, connect the power bank, switch the power bank on and off, and your devices are powered and ready to go.
Apple has an official usb wall charger that is compatible with the new macbook, but if you have a device like an ipod that is an older model than the new macbook, you probably don’t want to invest in a newer version.
The new macbook is an all new machine. You can use the usb wall charger to charge the battery and get to use the machine without worrying about the USB ports getting damaged or burned.
