The 140W charger has a single USB-C port. It also means that MacBook owners have the flexibility of using compatible third-party charging bricks with the new MacBooks. Using the USB-C PD 3.1 standard means Apple’s new charging brick will be cross compatible with other devices that use the same power delivery standard, which was announced earlier this year alongside the USB Type-C Release 2.1 specification. Meanwhile, the new 14-inch MacBook Pros come with 67W and 96W chargers, depending on the exact model. As well as being included with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, the brick is available separately for $99 (not including the USB-C-to-MagSafe cable, which costs an extra $49). That's what Inviolabs' vision, fast charging and saving your precious time.Apple’s new 140W charging brick, which works with a new MagSafe charging cable to power the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, uses the USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 standard, Apple has confirmed to The Verge. The trick is to have a USB-C PD charger(above 60W) and a USB-C to magsafe cable. At the same time, because this charger provides both USB-C and USB-A interfaces, one charger can solve the needs of all devices when going out. Both Air and Pro can provide maximum compatibility. Here the use of Fastport DUO 60W by Inviolabs is perfectly charged. For details, please refer to the labels of various manufacturers. What we need to pay attention is that the corresponding USB-C charger needs to support 60W output. The 15-inch Macbook Pro is originally equipped with 87W power, but after connecting this 60W adapter cable, it can also be charged with 60W, but the speed is slightly reduced. After all, Air is originally equipped with 45W, 13-inch Pro is 60W, they all should be no problem.
Macbook Air / Pro can use this cable for charging. After connecting the Macbook, you can see that it is a 60W power source in MacOS.Ĭompatibility tests are good.
The principle is that a decoy chip is added inside, which is equivalent to letting the USB-C charger recognized the cable as a 60W laptop. One is a USB-C interface and the other end is a Magsafe interface. The appearance of the cable is very simple. What if I also want to use an old Macbook Air / Pro with a USB-C port? At this time, I asked for this USB-C 2 Magsafe adapter cable.
The USB-C port can also charge iPhone and iPad, and you can bring one less charger when going out. This change's benefit is increased versatility. From Macbook Pro 2016 and Macbook Air 2018, Apple switched to the USB-C interface. Before the popularization of USB-C interface, both Macbook Air and Mabook Pro used Magsafe as shown below.
