South African brand Peachz introduces a 100W GaN USB-C charger and Qi2 magnetic wireless stand, highlighting a shift towards longer-lasting and faster-charging accessories as consumers seek practicality over luxury.
As South Africa moves out of winter, Peachz is pitching faster charging as a practical upgrade rather than a luxury add-on. The local accessories brand has added a 100W GaN USB-C charger to its range, alongside Qi2 magnetic wireless products, including a 3-in-1 charging stand aimed at people who want one tidy setup for a phone, watch and earbuds.
The company’s new wall charger uses gallium nitride, or GaN, which allows higher power delivery in a smaller unit that runs cooler than many older silicon-based designs. Peachz says the device can charge up to three products at once through two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, with built-in protection against overheating, over-current, over-voltage and short circuits. Its Qi2 stand, meanwhile, is built around the newer magnetic wireless standard and is designed to deliver up to 15W to compatible iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watch models.
Peachz is presenting the launch as part of a broader range built around durability as much as speed. Its cables include USB-C leads for everyday use, braided USB-C to USB-C options rated for higher wattages and MFi-certified Lightning cables for older iPhones. The company also sells MagSafe-style chargers, magnetic car mounts and power banks, including 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh units for people who need backup power away from a wall socket.
The brand is leaning heavily on service and warranty as a point of difference. It says its products come with a two-year warranty, free delivery on orders above R700 and customer support through WhatsApp, phone and email. Peachz also says it has more than 2,800 five-star reviews and more than 3,000 customers, figures it uses to argue that consumers are moving away from disposable accessories and towards longer-lasting kit.
