Apple’s WWDC 2023 event was full of new product announcements, including macOS Sonoma, iOS 17, Vision Pro, and a 15-inch MacBook Air. But not all of Apple’s new products were featured on stage. One of the overlooked items was the company’s new 70W power adapter, which is now available for purchase on Apple’s online store. Here are the details…

Apple Releases New 70W Power Adapter Alongside 15-Inch MacBook Air

While charging technologies have become incredibly fast, Apple has been slow to adopt them. The company has always prioritized stability over innovation, and this is reflected in its charging speeds. If we compare, many modern Android phones support higher charging speeds compared to MacBooks. However, Apple is always improving its products. Recently, the company introduced a new 70W power adapter.

This new adapter is designed to charge laptops faster, and it was released alongside the new 15-inch MacBook Air. It costs $59 and is compatible with a wide range of USB-C devices and charging cables. Apple recommends using this power adapter with the 15-inch MacBook Air, the 13-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip, the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2016 and later), and the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

The 70W power adapter provides fast and efficient charging at home, work, or on the go. It can charge the 15-inch MacBook Air from 0 to 50% in about 30 minutes. The adapter is also compatible with other USB-C devices, such as the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It’s worth noting that Apple has ceased selling its previous 67W power adapter. While it is still listed as included with the 14-inch MacBook Pro, it is no longer available for individual purchase.
