Underpowered, Overpriced, Oversized likely from Apple.

However, Anker can help:

Anker USB C Charger, 726 Charger (Nano II 65W) PPS Fast Charger Adapter, Foldable Compact Charger for MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro, Galaxy S20/S10, Dell XPS 13, Note 20/10+, iPhone 13, Pixel, and More

ok anyone want to start a poll on its price. I’m thinking… $75 which includes $35 apple tax.

I bought a 65w with 2 usb c and one usb a ports. Works great for $35. USB C is for apple watch and MacBook/switch/iPad charging. USB-a for iPhone charging.

Anker did it better already...

I love my Anker 40w charger. 20w each port, works perfect for my iPhone and iPad.

Who has the best 4 port USB-C charger available now?

This is so exciting.....Yawn

That falls into the category of Don'tCare.

I haven't bought Apple-branded accessories or upgrades EVER, going back to the days when I upgraded the RAM in the Apple ][.

Can't innovate - my ass!

Apple finally learns how to innovate with a double adaptor ?‍♂️..how many trillions are they worth now???

I mean, they have been kicking butt with their processors and “innovating,” but it’s a bit ironic to rehash a 10 year old joke while complaing about the innovation of others.

GaN chargers are a dime-a-dozen on Amazon. All sorts of port configurations, wattages, etc. It's like getting all excited because Lexus is coming out with Lexus Tires. Chargers aren't sexy. Get whatever charges your devices without overpaying.

I think that's precisely the problem - chargers come in all variations, and not all meet the charging requirements of Apple products. I see this as an answer to people who either don't want to have to deal with the hassle of figuring out which third party chargers work properly with their apple devices. It's like Apple releasing the 20w charger to replace their previous 18w charger because the latter wouldn't work properly with their MagSafe chargers.

What's more interesting isn't the charger itself, but the why. Why two ports, and why 35w specifically. Does Apple have a particular charging setup in mind for users? Who is this for?

Nothing Apple does is ever random. You think people would have figured that out by now.

You're over-thinking it. Why are so many GaN chargers rated at 62W. WTF is 62W for? Then 65W. There's a wattage combo for every need. I most definitely do think 35W is random. It certainly won't charge most MacBooks so if you think Apple is simplifying for the dummies out that that don't know a watt from a "what" then this ain't it.

Also, even a 62W will charge a MBP that comes with a 96W. Just charge it when the MBP is powered off or under light usage. It'll charge fine.

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.

Anker is most definitely an MFI vendor, and their USB-C compliant chargers will always need an MFI lightning cable, either theirs or Apple’s or someone else’s. Whichever cable a user buys, Apple’s making money, too.

the point is, apple doesn’t launch a product without a reason, so by underthinking we can have knee-jerk reactions to it (i’m gesturing up and down this thread here), but by overthinking we might be able to determine if this adapter is an accessory for an unannounced product.

Right but Apple includes cables for free. Most people won’t need to buy cables when they are included with iPhones.

I thought you were talking about type-C chargers, since what I was saying was that Apple’s sales of chargers could get squeezed by not having multiport chargers. The cables aren’t really relevant to this, Apple use of Lightning has no effect on whether their own chargers sell or don’t sell as well due to Apple being “behind” on these multiports.

Offhand, I am thinking of the apple products that don’t come with their own charging bricks (namely the iphone and Apple Watch). We know the magsafe duo isn’t able to fast-charge the series 7 either, so I wonder if this is a way for consumers to get fast charging for both their iPhone and Apple Watch, so users only need to buy 1 charging brick rather than 2 separate 20-w chargers.

That’s just my theory, at least.

Anker already sells this for $60 but it’s more powerful (60w) and is GaN. I have 3 plus 1 in my to-go travel tech kit.

Anker 60W PIQ 3.0 & GaN Tech Dual Port Charger, PowerPort Atom III (2 Ports) Travel Charger with a 45W USB C Port, for Laptops, MacBook, iPad Pro, iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel and More

Model Number: A2322

www.amazon.com

Another $19 and you get 100W, two extra ports and travel adapters for foreign travel.

Calling the Anker a “travel charger“ should include the disclaimer of “only in North America”

I’m still so salty they duped us with the bricks. “Yeah you have 300 of these laying around we need to protect the environment and more importantly cut costs.”

Meanwhile they transition to usb-c cables and all 300 of my bricks are usb-a and so I’ve not yet fast charged my iPhone or watch because I’m don’t want to pay for a new one. Which is on me but how can you sell it as “you’ve got ten iPhone generations worth of bricks at home” and then change the port. It’s frustrating.

Almost like Apple did it on purpose, so much for saving the environment when you pack all these things separately

Chances are, most of those bricks would be collecting dust at home anyways. Most of my iPhone charging bricks stay untouched in their original packaging, as I often buy something better (either the iPad charger or multi-port chargers).

Change has to start somewhere.

This is for the next Macbook air
From the current 30W USB-C Power Adapter they will place this

 

[akbarali.ch]

They should've topped it to 50-55 watts, so 2 iphones can be charged at full speed, this is no good.

For the UK, it would be a win for regular travellers/commuters if Apple carries across its folding plug design. In a small bag, one of these with protruding pins in it versus two where the pins stow away… I'd go for the two unless I knew I was staying somewhere with only one wall socket.

 

[Jeaz]

Compact size and interchangeable travel plugs and I’d be getting one for sure.
