For starters, this power strip has six AC outlets, much like any conventional power strip. But they're arranged three on each side, making it easier to fit large plugs and adapters without covering up outlets and wasting space. On top of that, you get two USB-A and two USB-C charging ports, allowing you to charge your phone, tablet, laptop, Nintendo Switch, and everything else without clogging up the outlets. (The USB-C ports deliver up to 20W, the USB-A ports up to 12W.)
I like that this power-strip-charging-station-thing comes with a 5-foot cable with a flat plug, making it easy to plug into your wall even when it's behind furniture. The Anker strip has a built-in 8-point safety system that will protect your gear from overloads, overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits. In short, it's as good as what you have, but better.
This might be the easiest $20 you spend to organize your cables and chargers and free up space. Get Anker's 10-in-1 USB power strip for $19.99 before this limited-time deal expires!

Apple may see further fallout over its failure to comply with a court order that led to last week's contempt ruling. A class action suit filed on behalf of developers claims that Apple's actions cost Pure Sweat Basketball (and other developers) revenue during the period it was found to have violated the original court order. "Had Apple complied with the injunction, as required, Pure Sweat would have been able to sell subscriptions to its app directly to its customers," the law firm, Hagens Berman, alleges.
The original 2021 court ruling forced Apple to allow App Store developers to direct user to other payments systems so that they could bypass the 30 percent of of in-app payments taken by Apple. The App Store was supposed to stop preventing developers from including buttons or links in their apps and metadata that would allow allow users to make purchases outside the App Store environment.
However, developer Epic Games accused Apple of "malicious compliance" with the ruling because it still charged a commission of up to 27 percent on any sales made through links to external payment systems. It also said Apple came up with onerous restrictions on external buttons, among other violations.
In her ruling last week, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said Apple "chose the most anticompetitive option" at every turn. She even alleged that Apple lied under oath to hide the truth about its actions and referred the case to a US attorney for a criminal contempt investigation.
"The court ultimately held that Apple will
