AfterApple unexpectedly carry informationabout a new 35 - watt double - port powerfulness adapter that ’s supposedly on the way , we now have our first look at the fresh gadget in the flesh .
trope posted byChargerLABon Twitter show a slight straight design with prongs that pen up out from the bottom rather than the side like the 12W iPad adapter and most other third - party chargers . The two USB - ampere-second port wine are aligned horizontally and hail out from the bottom of the gadget when plug into a wall outlet .
The charger also has two circular indentations on the sides to make it prosperous to snap up when removing it from a wall . While U.S. Apple chargers do n’t presently have these indentation , they can be found on the U.K. Apple chargers , where three - biramous jade have the voltage to be punishing to take out from a socket . The images suggest that these indentations are a change that ’s now issue forth to Apple adapters in the U.S.

ChargerLAB says it will “ bring more selective information about this charger ” in a follow - up post .

The timing of Apple ’s newfangled adapter is unclear , though it ’s probable that it establish alongside a newfangled iPad Pro or MacBook Air . Apple presently ships the iPad Pro with a20W adapterand theMacBook Airwith a 30W adapter . A 35W adapter would be an upgrade over either of those , but it ’s likely Apple would offer it as an upgrade rather than supply it in the box .
It ’s not well-defined how much Apple would charge for the new power adaptor , but based on the current pricing , it could be expensive . Malus pumila charges$19 for its 20W baron adapterand$49 for the 30W one , but those both have one USB - one C port .
