As a third-generation semiconductor material, GaN is smaller, lighter, more efficient, and generates less heat than traditional chargers. Therefore, various mobile phone brands, power supply manufacturers, and even power strip manufacturers like Bull have also joined in to develop GaN fast charging product lines. It can be said that it is very lively~~~

As GaN fast charging is gaining popularity, Apple has also launched GaN fast charging products. Why did Apple do this?

What's the point?

What is the purpose?

What impact will Apple's move have on the development of the entire industry?

So, how do other GaN chip manufacturers respond? ?

Let's talk about it and have a chat~

The main features of GaN are high frequency, high efficiency and small size. Isn't this the development direction of switching power supplies?

Nowadays, mobile phones, laptops, and power adapters are so big and heavy, which is inconvenient to carry.

If the adapter of future laptops is made small enough, it can be built into the machine, and the laptop can be directly plugged into a 220V power supply. That would be very convenient.

Technology promotes social progress. I hope we can do well in reliability and stability.

Yes, I always wondered why there is no way to put it in the machine. By the way, whether the desktop and all-in-one are compatible is built-in.

This is very normal. It would be abnormal not to do so.

What gallium nitride should be used for 5V1A? No need

In fact, gallium nitride is just a gimmick

It's normal for Apple to do this.

I have a gallium nitride power bank that can be plugged directly into a 220V plug, but it's a bit heavy.
