In a landmark announcement for the world’s rapidly growing population of anxious gadget owners, The Verge has secured an exclusive deal on the Baseus AM52 power bank—a 10,000mAh rectangle with a built-in USB-C cable and, according to experts, a profound sense of self-worth. Verge readers can now purchase the AM52 for $42.99 with the very secret code THEVERGECODE, a price so low it may cause spontaneous euphoria for those who have felt personally insulted by previous $62.99 price tags.
Early adopters are already flooding social media to show off their nearly indistinguishable new power banks. “Before the AM52, I was worried my MagSafe-compatible charger wasn’t soft enough where it magnetically clings to my $1,200 phone,” confessed tech enthusiast Samantha Plugman. “Now, I barely worry at all. My therapist says this is progress.”
The AM52 distinguishes itself by charging devices via Qi2.2 and USB-C simultaneously, a feature that experts say is only slightly less revolutionary than plugging in two things at once. Lead Verge reviewer Malcolm Volta explained, “Sure, other power banks have cooling fans, a kickstand, or even a display showing remaining charge. But does your power bank feel like a worn yoga mat when it’s on your phone? Didn’t think so.”
Consumer reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with buyers noting the AM52’s ability to help them outpace nearby battery anxiety sufferers. “Now, when my friends start panicking over dead phones, I can smugly wave my AM52 at them. It’s the kind of superiority money can buy,” remarked local man and self-described discount hunter, Brad Watts.
The deal is available only until June 30th or until all remaining urgency is depleted.
