Q2. What is GaN (Gallium Nitride) Technology and Why is It The Best?

The old chargers used silicon , which is larger and gives off more heat . But modern GaN, or gallium nitride, semiconductor tech has cast a new light on the world of charging.

Advantages of GaN charger are as follows:

• Compact & Ultra-Portable： 体积比硅胶充电器缩小30~50%,更方便携带。

Does using a charger of the wrong wattage harm my iPhone?

No, it won't damage it, if it's the original or certified charger!

Apple devices have an embedded power management IC. Your iPhone will also only draw as much power as it needs (typically 20W-27W) if you plug it into a 100W charger.

The charger must have safety certification (over-voltage & over-heat protection).

Now, Mac Infinity is offering an internationally approved and certified GaN fast charger for the safety and long life of your expensive Apple device.
