Every year, Apple’s new iPhones become more and more advanced, yet they still don’t include everything you need in the box. Apple has removed accessories from the box little by little over the years, and nowadays, you pretty much just get a cable and that’s it — how long until you don’t even get that? That’s why you should invest in a high-quality fast charger that you can keep and continue to use as you upgrade your phone.

Apple’s 20-watt USB-C power adapter sells for $18, which is about $11 less than its overpriced and discontinued 18-watt USB-C power adapter. But several attractive alternatives can be considered among the best iPhone chargers. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite Apple device chargers to give a boost to your battery life. A few quick ground rules before we start:

• You’ll need a charger with a USB-C port, or you’ll need to get a USB-A-to-USB-C adapter. At the prices below, you might as well just get a new charger for your Apple product.
• Chargers with USB-C or PD (power delivery) support can generally charge devices faster than chargers with USB-A ports.
• Two ports are always better than one, allowing you to charge two phones at once, or a phone and an accessory like wireless headphones.
• Higher wattage is better up to a point. But getting 18 watts or better will allow you to charge tablets and even a Nintendo Switch. Get 65 watts or more and you can charge most

It’s-a him. Chris Pratt as Mario in the movie. OK, so co-producer Chris Meledandri confirmed back in 2021 that Pratt wasn’t going to use the stereotyped voice of the video game plumber in the upcoming animated Mario film. But on Thursday, Nintendo dropped a highly anticipated teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Pratt revealed, kind of, the voice he did choose.

Honestly, the much-anticipated Pratt-as-Mario voice was kind of a letdown. There’s … maybe a faint bit of Italian accent in the few lines Pratt speaks? Or is he just using his normal voice? Pratt’s Mario mostly just reacts to getting the wind knocked out of him as he heads off on his Mushroom Kingdom adventure.

Sure, there was no way Pratt was going to use the exaggerated, stereotypical voice, but so little of him can actually be heard in the teaser it’s tough to say how his Mario will sound. He doesn’t deliver any of Mario’s famed catchphrases — no “It’s-a me, Mario” or “Wahoo!” Maybe more will be revealed when a longer trailer comes along. Regardless, there’s a better chance to hear some of Jack Black’s Bowser (he’s excellent) and a good look at the vibrant animation.

It’s-a disappointing

Fans were underwhelmed by Pratt’s voice, or at least what we got to hear of it.

“Everything in the Mario movie trailer looks and sounds absolutely great…except for Chris Pratt’s voice lol,” one viewer tweeted.

Pratt is reminded of one viewer of Ratso Rizzo in 1969’s
