i was already sad the link wasn't righto.com when it's about chargers, and then it completely disappointed by not loading :)
and it's barely past 10 votes.

#6Looks very compact. "peak 60W, stable 40W" what length of time can it do 60W?

From the article:
> The thermistor monitors the internal temperature and dynamically adjusts the power level to reduce output power when the temperature rises.
My guess is that it's dependent on the ambient temperature, but that's just a guess! I can't imagine what the restriction on peak power would be other than temperature rise, though...

#8There doesn't really seem to be anything interesting about this.
Also while the US plug makes some pretty compact power adapters, the effect is largely ruined in the EU and UK with their wider more cumbersome plugs.

#9How does one distinguish between all the tiny devils in the details between all possible chargers to have the maximum efficiency in ones iPhone charging?

Apple make an excellent UK 20W charger with folding pins.
Physically the design is pretty much the same as this new 60/40W version, so I would expect them to eventually offer a 60/40W folding pin UK charger too.
