Unbox Therapy unboxes a charger that can get software updates

The Anker Nano's little display identifies an iPhone, while viewers ask what the extra smarts mean for older models.

You need this new power brick…

Even the power brick has an app connection. In Unbox Therapy's "You need this new power brick…", Lewis Hilsenteger demonstrates an Anker Nano charger whose firmware can be updated to recognize future iPhone models.

The short upload has picked up roughly 197,000 views in a day, more than ten times its usual daily pace, eight days after publication. This time, the gadget getting attention isn't the phone, but the small accessory plugged into the wall.

Hilsenteger unfolds and rotates the prongs, then shows the built-in screen identifying an iPhone 18 Pro and displaying its charging status and wattage. Taps switch between Auto and Care modes and adjust how long the screen stays lit. He also presents Anker's claims about charging speed and extending battery health, rather than conducting a long-term battery test.

The comments raise a useful distinction: recognizing a phone on a screen isn't the same thing as being the first charger to match its power requirements. Viewers ask about support for older iPhones and how firmware updates work, while others pick out the phone-matching colors. It's an unusually software-heavy conversation for something that used to be just a power brick.
