Unreleased 35W Dual Port USB-C Charger Leaked in Apple Doc

[MacRumors]

Apple may be planning to introduce a two-port 35W USB-C charger in the near future, based on a leaked support document that was found by 9to5Mac. The support document was apparently only on Apple's site for a brief time, but there was a clear mention of the unreleased charger.

Apple's current 30W power adapter​

As there is no dual USB-C port power adapter available right now, it may be something that Apple has in the works. 35W would charge or power a wide range of Apple devices, from the MacBook Air to iPads, iPhones, Apple Watch, and the HomePod. For the iPhone and the iPad, it would be powerful enough to accommodate fast charging.

The power adapter will support the following modes: 5VDC/3A or 9VDC/3A or 15VDC/2.33A or 20VDC/1.75A, and it will provide 35W of total charging power, not 35W for each USB-C port.

Use the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter and a USB-C cable (not included) to charge your device. Connect a USB-C cable to either port on the power adapter, extend the electrical prongs (if necessary), then plug the power adapter firmly into the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is easily accessible for disconnecting. Connect the other end of the cable to your device.

There is no word on when this accessory might launch, but it could possibly be the GaN power adapter that Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple was working on in early March. Kuo said that Apple is working on a "30W power adapter" that has a new form factor design, with the company planning to introduce it at some point in 2022.

He said that the charger will use gallium nitride or "GaN" technology, allowing for a smaller, lighter form factor because of improved power efficiency. Apple's first GaN charger (140W) launched last year alongside the MacBook Pro.

Other accessory companies like Anker and Belkin have been making GaN chargers for some time now, and they offer several multi-port options.

Doesn't the most recent iPhones limit at 25W

35/2=17.5 which is close to the 18W iPad Pro can charge at. More likely it will do 20W on one port and 15W on another, 35W on one port when nothing is connected to the other, etc...

 

[B4U]

It will be available at a magical $99?
Considering the Apple tax.

Putting more than 1 port on a power adapter is a no-brainer, but then again this is Apple. Why sell customers 1 power adapter when you can sell them 2 at twice the price?

Even Apple has to feel the pressure when everyone has multiport chargers and no one is buying the Apple ones.

 

[jooish]

Damn... I wish they did this sooner.

Can we please get a new generation charger in different colors besides white? Preferably in black or space gray?

 

[ouimetnick]

Probably $39 or $49. Great for charging iPhone or iPad and Apple Watch or AirPods.

 

[Spock]

Lots of third party options that I am sure are MUCH cheaper but I guess having an Apple option is always a bonus.

 

[adammusic]

So BIG. Why apple so behind everyone else?

Having something that matches the MacBook colors would be really nice.

 

[7thson]

Might as well, huh? While I’m content buying kit from Anker, Spigen, RavPower, there are those that will buy exclusively from Apple given the opportunity. This would fill a hole thats been there for a very long time. Why they haven’t included an extra with the MacBook chargers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I'm sure this will pave the way for not including a charger in iPads in the near future...

At the very least the excuse will be, buy a 2-in-1 charger and charge both an iPad and your iPhone.

 

[WinterWolf90]

Why get this when anker has a 40w one already?

 

[MacNerd01]

That would be cool. And add it as an option while buying an iPhone or iPad.

 

[rui no onna]

They could’ve at least made this 40W (40W single port, 20W+20W dual port) for fast charging two devices at the same time.

 

[SMERSH7]

Would be great for a two-HomePod Minis setup!

 

[Mr_Brightside_@]

The pictured charger is Apple's current 30W power adapter.

For the ecosystem synergy.

I know, it’s not like Apple’s created a system whereby they share the specifications of the charging to third parties, then let third parties make and sell those under license? Thus, allowing Apple to focus on a “lowest common denominator” product that ONLY those who MUST have Apple logos on all their products will buy.

Apple doesn't have any kind of "Made for iPhone" or other program for USB-C chargers. They work with any USB-C charger with Power Delivery (PD).

The advantage with Apple's chargers is they're built to high standards internally, but otherwise they're just another charger.

 

[anson42]

I use Anker RAVpower GaN multi-port USB-C/USB-A chargers. Great for having around the house and while traveling.

 

[KaliYoni]

My prediction:

Studio Charger
$79 for base model
$199 additional for stowable plug prongs (must be selected at time of purchase)
$399 for fingerprint resistant nano-finish
Compatible with Polishing Cloth or new Anti-static Charger Wipe for $19

If it's compatible with the existing 6' extension cables, this will be the thing I have been waiting for ever since they released the 15/18W bricks and removed the duck head/extension option the 10/12W had. Even better if it's dual port. TAKE MY MONEY!

Edit: totally mistook the image for a rumored or leaked image lol still, I want them to bring that design back so we can use the 6' extensions again!
