We discussed this in another thread, but I can't find it. So for those of you who are still waiting and wondering just how small the power adapter is, here's a pic between my (very dirty) 11" MBA's adapter and the iPad mini's.
Got a tip for us?

Size of the power adapter

In real life, it's juuust a bit bigger than the iPad's, but not that much. Add to that the fact that the cable is removable, and oh, joy, no more brick with badly wrapped cord taking all the place in your bag and getting unwrapped if you just look at it.
How much shorter is the cable that comes with the adapter versus what is offered on the MagSafe power adapters? I wonder how many people will have to buy the extension cord or if the length will be adequate depending on how close you are sitting to the outlet.
The power adapter is just usb C (which is the charger). The old ones were magsafe 2, and the new ones are usb C. What do you mean?
I would not be surprised if the new iPhones, yet again, adopt a new charger (usb C)
Yes.

It's 2m (6'7" ??? damn imperial system). It's actually longer than the magsafe one + brick on the 11" MBA, by.... say...... 3 inches. Give or take a few inches lol.
Because people love to complain ?
On the other hand, it's still MUCH shorter than the MBA's with the extension cord. Won't be enough for me on my balcony, but it'll be enough on the couch, which is an improvement

Can you plug in the MBA's extension cord to the MB's power brick?

You think Apple are going to switch from Lightning to USB-C on iOS devices?
Charger -> USB-C -> USB-A -> Lightning -> iPhone... sure will charge one. Better?
Just to be clear, you asked how and that's specifically what I was answering.
blah. The robert109 was asking if the stock charger could charge an iPhone. I think he thought the USB C cable was a lightning cable, which it does look like.
considering this is a power adapter thread.
