Apple's New 35W Chargers With Dual USB-C Ports Now Available to Order

[MacRumors]

Apple at WWDC 2022 introduced new 35W power adapters with dual USB-C ports, and they are now available to order, as spotted by 9to5Mac. The adapters come in standard or compact sizes, with both priced at $59 in the United States.

The compact version of the adapter will already be included in the box with the new MacBook Air when configured with an M2 chip with a 10-core GPU and 512GB of storage or better, but it is now available to purchase separately too via Apple.com and the Apple Store app. The new MacBook Air will be available next month, according to Apple.

Both adapters feature foldable prongs and can be used to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Apple recommends using the adapters with the new MacBook Air, but they are also compatible with the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more.

Availability of the compact adapter is limited to the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.

Apple has not yet started accepting orders for the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable in Starlight, Midnight, or Space Gray.

Can it power 2 HomePod minis, would it only be one 20w and another 15w

Why would anyone opt for a bigger charger (i.e. the standard over the compact)?

Oh, nice! I didn’t know it was going to be this soon to offer it to the market.

This would be a great giveaway item.

It seems like that model would be most useful for people who need to swap out the plug for different countries, or an extension cable.

Exactly! I just ordered the standard one to use with the extension cord.

It looks like the standard one is but not the compact. Maybe it's not possible to make the folding plug with the UK design.

And I would be happy for you to give me one, either one I am not picky

This product makes no sense to me. It has 2 ports but it’s only 35W, so it won‘t charge the MBA if you’re charging another device. So why would they include it with a Mac?

Probably because your massive plug brick doesn’t lend itself well to anything “compact” 😂

 

[boak]

Are unearthed plugs that common in the US? I don't think they're as common in the UK?

Sure it will. The wattage would be split. It's not for fast charging. That's what the 67 watt charger is for.

Use case?

Yup most plugs don't have a ground or earth prong.

Target currently has a 2x USB-C 68W max power adapter for $26

Also a 52W max total 2x USB-C, 2x USB-A power hub for $22.50

Sad!!! As is tradition for Apple: Too little, too late, and too expensive.

Compact version is unavailable in the UK

So it seems. I was keen to order the compact version. I travel a lot and it would have been handy to charge both my iPhone and iPad off the same brick at the same time. The standard size with the UK plug is pretty bulky.

Those "imports" could lack the smart charging of the Apple products. They often get really hot and their output could be an issue. Cheap is not always better!

 

[chkay]

For some reason they decided to make the UK one some massive brick of a device:

Note that its nothing at all to do with our phat plugs as they do sell a fold away single port one. All they'd have needed to do here is make it slightly thicker than the US one and it would've fit fine.

The 20w one for comparison:

I am pretty no sure that MacBook Air can charge with less than 35W. It’s slow, but it works.

And having an Apple logo on it does not always make it better...

Give away item for Apple 😆, or for you?
