Which charges a phone faster?

The Anker, since its full 45W goes to one port. The Apple splits 35W across two ports, so a single phone gets less.

Can the Apple 35W charge a MacBook Air?

It can, but slowly. The Anker's 45W is a better match for a MacBook Air.

Is the Anker worth the extra $4.20?

Yes if you charge a laptop or want PPS fast charging. No if you mostly charge two small devices at once.

The Anker Nano II is the smaller of the two thanks to its GaN II design.

Which has more ports?

The Apple, with two USB-C ports versus one on the Anker.

Both are solid; Anker's GaN design runs cooler, which can help long-term, but neither has a clear durability edge.
