Overview

• Apple’s $39 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max uses USB PD 3.2 AVS to enable the company’s advertised iPhone 17 charge of about 50% in roughly 20 minutes.
• Hands-on measurements reported by a Reddit tester and cited by major outlets show the adapter reaches about 60W only for roughly 15–18 minutes before settling to lower output.
• Early examination indicates the charger does not support PPS and instead advertises standard USB Power Delivery 3.0, reducing utility for PPS-dependent devices.
• Because AVS is new, many existing USB-C chargers likely won’t match Apple’s peak behavior, so users may need an AVS-capable adapter to replicate the fastest charge times; broader third-party testing is still pending.
• Google previously shipped an AVS-capable consumer charger (Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W), underscoring that the AVS ecosystem is emerging across multiple brands.
