Overview
- Apple’s 40W Dynamic Power Adapter uses USB PD 3.2 AVS and can spike to about 60W for roughly 15–18 minutes, according to early hands-on testing.
- The compact $39 adapter is marketed as 40W with “60W Max,” and testers note it is poorly suited for sustained high-watt scenarios like laptop charging.
- Hands-on reports indicate the new Apple charger does not support PPS and instead exposes standard USB PD, which could limit fast charging for PPS-reliant devices.
- Apple’s updated MagSafe Charger is certified for Qi2 25W wireless charging, requires a 30W power adapter to reach that speed, and just saw its first discount at Amazon.
- Accessory makers are rolling out Qi2 and Qi2.2 gear—Mophie launched new Qi2 Powerstation batteries (15W), Satechi’s Qi2 car mount is on sale, UGREEN has a 25W Qi2.2 option, and Google previously shipped an AVS-capable 67W Pixel charger.
