Unless you ’re buying an iPad or MacBook and get a charger in the box , we do n’t commend buying one of Apple ’s standalone battery charger . For a company that ’s often ahead of the curve , they ’re surprisingly clunky and dated .
That might be change . Asspotted by 9to5Mac , Apple may be cook to release a new 35W threefold USB - C Port Power Adapter , which would be a new electric power and the first time Apple offers an adapter with more than one port . Apple presently sellsa single - port 20W adapterfor iPhones and iPads , and several newfangled and older chargers for MacBooks . According to a support document , the new spark plug will also have folding prong like the MacBook plug :
Use the Apple 35W three-fold USB - C Port Power Adapter and a USB - carbon cable ( not included ) to charge your gadget .
