Apple Launches M5 14-Inch MacBook Pro as Europe Units Ship Without Charger

The move fits Apple’s environmental packaging strategy, with the UK adapter priced at £59.

Overview

  • Apple’s online store confirms the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and shows European listings without the 70W USB-C power adapter.
  • U.S. and other non-European markets continue to receive the 70W USB-C power adapter in the box.
  • European buyers still get a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable and must supply or purchase a compatible charger.
  • Explicitly listed affected countries include the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Norway.
  • The packaging change extends Apple’s multi-year reduction of in-box accessories, following recent AirPods models, after a public teaser from marketing chief Greg Joswiak.
