Description
This is Apple's 61W USB-C Power Adapter, the charger Apple pairs with 13-inch MacBook Pro models introduced in 2016 or later. It delivers up to 61W through a single USB-C port using USB Power Delivery, and Apple describes it as compatible with any USB-C-enabled device. It suits MacBook owners who need a replacement or a second charger, as well as anyone wanting one adapter for a Mac, iPad, iPhone and other USB-C devices. The charge cable is not attached, so you pair it with a USB-C charge cable of your choice.
Key features
- 61W Maximum Output. The adapter supplies up to 61W of power. That is enough for the 13-inch MacBook Pro as well as older USB-C MacBook Air and 12-inch MacBook models.
- Apple's Matched MacBook Pro Charger. Apple lists the 61W adapter with a USB-C Charge Cable for 13-inch MacBook Pro models introduced in 2016 or later. It is genuine Apple hardware designed for these machines.
- Works Across USB-C Devices. Apple's product description says it is compatible with any USB-C-enabled device. Reviewers often mention using it to charge iPhones, iPads and non-Apple USB-C devices.
- USB Power Delivery. It charges using the USB Power Delivery standard through one USB-C output. The later A1947 version supports 5V, 9V, 15V and 20V levels at 3A for fully standard behaviour.
- Flexible Cable Choice. There is no attached cable, so you can use a USB-C to USB-C cable for Macs and modern devices. A USB-C to Lightning cable lets it charge older iPhones.
- Charges Larger MacBooks Too. Apple says a Mac can be charged with a USB-C adapter of higher or lower wattage than recommended. A 15- or 16-inch MacBook Pro will charge from it, though more slowly.
