That hasn’t been the case with some USB-C laptop fast chargers in the past, which have had to go off-spec to offer charging speeds over 100W (the previous cap on the USB-C Power Delivery spec). The 140W charger has a single USB-C port. It also means that MacBook owners have the flexibility of using compatible third-party charging bricks with the new MacBooks.
Using the USB-C PD 3.1 standard means Apple’s new charging brick will be cross compatible with other devices that use the same power delivery standard, which was announced earlier this year alongside the USB Type-C Release 2.1 specification. Meanwhile, the new 14-inch MacBook Pros come with 67W and 96W chargers, depending on the exact model. As well as being included with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, the brick is available separately for $99 (not including the USB-C-to-MagSafe cable, which costs an extra $49).

This is likely because there are still iPad Pro models in inventory that were manufactured before the 20W adapter was introduced, so not every iPad Pro sold today necessarily includes the new adapter.Apple’s new 140W charging brick, which works with a new MagSafe charging cable to power the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, uses the USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 standard, Apple has confirmed to The Verge. Interestingly, Apple’s Online Store still indicates that the iPad Pro ships with an 18W USB-C adapter in the box. Again, with Apple no longer including a wall charger in the box with iPhone purchases, it’s looking at other ways to increase the prevalence of 20W USB-C adapters.įurthermore, Apple has likely stopped manufacturing the 18W USB-C adapter, so it makes plenty of sense from a supply chain perspective to switch the iPad Pro over to the new 20W adapter as well. The previously-sold 18W adapter only offers 13W of power through MagSafe.

The new MagSafe technology for the iPhone 12 requires the 20W USB-C adapter in order to charge at the full 15W of power. This is a small but notable change for iPad Pro buyers, and Apple’s goal is clearly to get as many 20W USB-C adapters into the wild as possible. This change was first spotted Reddit, with multiple users confirming that their recently-purchased iPad Pro included a 20W adapter rather than the 18W adapter. Apple first introduced this 20W USB-C power adapter alongside the iPhone 12 last month, and it replaces the previously-sold 18W USB-C charger. Apple appears to have started shipping a new 20W USB-C power adapter in the box of recently-manufactured iPad Pro models.
