Anker is one of the leading names in chargers. In January 2026, the company launched a lineup of new accessories, including a tiny but powerful charger with a smart display, self-described as the "perfect match" for the latest iPhones (per Anker). The smart display, Nano 45W, does more than just show you how much power it's giving your phone. This accessory also communicates its thermal state by cycling through different animations. A charger that can communicate its thermal status gives you useful information about whether your charging setup is working as intended.
