      Packaging and marketing makes all the difference.

      Of course. But this is a case of trying to sell you something you will use once (check a charger, is it ok? is it fast? ok we are done) while telling you this is something you would use all the time.
      Do you really need to measure charging current EVERY SINGLE time you charge something?
      It almost feels like amazing cant live without garbage TV infomercials push on people. Look, its a rake with buildin phone holster!
