Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter Expands to New Countries

[MacRumors]

Apple is expanding availability of its new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max to several countries that use type G plugs. The new variant of the adapter features a three-prong folding design that is distinct from the initial two-prong versions that launched in September alongside the iPhone 17 models.

The new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter design is available for purchase in the UK, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia.

Apple previously launched the Dynamic Power Adapter in the U.S., Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

The 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is the same size as Apple's 20W charger, but it is able to deliver 40W for faster charging. It also provides up to 60W in short bursts to speed up charging even further.

In the United States, the Dynamic Power Adapter is priced at $39, but prices vary in other countries.

The 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is the same size as Apple's 20W charger

Maybe head-on, but it looks significantly more cubic and so less comfortable to stick in a coat pocket.

 

[DunedinD]

Makes me disappointed the two-port adapter doesn’t have folding prongs in the UK.

The progs fold, are you talking about the 40w adapter pictured above?

 

[Kylo83]

much thicker than the 20w brick

No, I mean the dual-port (USB-C) adapter Apple also sells in the UK. In the US, it’s sized a lot closer to the one-port 20W adapter. In tne UK, it protrudes from the wall more like the oldest AirPort Express, the prongs are fixed in position, but the plug head can be removed and swapped for another from the world travel kit or whatever it’s called, or even an extension cable.

It’s amusing how many variants of adapter Apple produces these days.

Shame this dynamic adaptor couldn't have had 2 ports.

 

[t0rqx]

In the meantime all iPhone 17 Pro models generate static noise from the speakers when charging via USB-C.

That's a pro feature! /s

That's a pro feature! /s

That explains the new static noise in the new Airpods Pro 3 coincidentally also introduced with the new models.

 

[chabig]

These adapters with UK prongs are great for airplane receptacles, as they are much less prone to fall out.

Next up Apple… Dual port Dynamic Power Adapter…!

Is it me or the charger looks like a middle finger?

These seem to get good reviews - I'd like to see some actually test it electrically.

And this with a MagSafe would be great. No cable needed. Actually stick a battery in it too

30w - Dual ports at least.

You can get a 65w continuous Anker for the price of this Apple iCharge Hybrid that might deliver 60w on a good day.

 

[DunedinD]

First option looks good for a wall socket under a desk. Not generally a fan of cables thatcome out of the top of a plug, though.

Has Mu rebuilt its reputation yet? I haven’t even though about it since it messed around with one of its kickstarters and downgraded what people received; I got an ugly bright pink 20W charger from it, not what I ordered. Such a shame because the folded dimensions of its plugs were brilliantly practical. (Edit: Seems Made in Mind went into administration in 2021.)

Your county's prongs are ridiculous. Nothing can be sleek with those things.

Your county's prongs are ridiculous. Nothing can be sleek with those things.

They’re good for safety and aren’t likely to drop out of a wall socket, like happened to me in a US hotel with a MacBook adapter.

Can't argue there. I didn't say they weren't functional, just that they are ridiculous sized. The 3rd prong helps a lot more than just big prongs.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

You can get a 65w continuous Anker for the price of this Apple iCharge Hybrid that might deliver 60w on a good day.

There wouldn’t be a noticeable difference in practice. Apple’s charger steps down at the same time the devices it’s made for draw less power. So, a charger being 65w doesn’t mean much with the phone is asking for 40 or less.

 

[Reason077]

YES YES YES!!!!! Thank you Apple!

OK, It's a bit chunkier than the 20W GOAT UK adapter, but I'll take it!

 

[Reason077]

That’s one chonky boy

Yeah, it looks like maybe an extra 10mm or so in depth compared to the UK 20W adapter, which measures about 49 × 45 × 30 mm deep.

If anyone can find (or measure) the exact dimensions of the new 40W dynamic adapter, please post! It's annoying that Apple don't seem to have this information on the product page!

Size, and good design, is really what I'm looking for here.

Is the 65W Anker smaller and lighter than the Apple version? And no folding pins, I'm assuming?

 

[Reason077]

A problem with that design is that you might run into issues with sockets that have limited clearance around them. The Apple design is great because it fits within the profile of a standard UK plug, so will fit even in tight spaces.
