Patreon preview. Poundland's latest USB charger.
Added 2017-02-03 21:50:37 +0000 UTCYet another video. Perhaps of more interest to those in the UK where the Poundland chain is based. This is a staggeringly good power supply for just a pound. There must be a catch.

I imagine the Chinese manufacturers provide whatever is asked of them. "Yes, we can do it properly, but that'll be $0.02 extra per unit." Ah, well fuck the consumer then, make us the lethal one.

2017-02-04 19:00:09 +0000 UTCI'd be happy to mail in a genuine Apple charger (or even a genuine Macbook charger) for a detailed teardown. Though by the sound of it, Clive has quite the backlog of teardown offers right now...

2017-02-04 18:59:10 +0000 UTCSeems like a good candidate for the usb "muscle stimulation" device you've mentioned.
2017-02-03 23:17:45 +0000 UTCYes, if you're giving a YouTube thumbs-up on the actual video. Clicking the Patreon "heart" does not carry through.

2017-02-03 23:10:18 +0000 UTCClive, please pardon the noob question, do views and "likes" here on patreon get carried through to youtube?

2017-02-03 23:06:11 +0000 UTCI can't find it now, but I've seen a tear-down. A real Apple charger cube is an engineering masterpiece. Particularly after the "green dot" showed up.

2017-02-03 23:01:15 +0000 UTCI would be really interested in those as well. Especially the ones used in the EU (or should I say other parts of the EU for now). They are very small and still capable of delivering one Ampere.
2017-02-03 22:55:13 +0000 UTCIt would be interesting to see whether they are worth £18 more than the Poundland ones (considering that Poundland are making a profit)!

2017-02-03 22:25:29 +0000 UTCI'd like to see that if you don't mind blowing £19 :-)

2017-02-03 22:23:54 +0000 UTCI've not. Mainly because the Apple charger I have here is the backup one for the iPad I record with. But I should really buy one just to shred.

2017-02-03 22:22:03 +0000 UTCClive - have you ever done a review of a genuine Apple charger?
