Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter

Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter Overview

Design and Build

Starting with the design, the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter features a compact, sleek form factor designed for effortless portability, whether you are working from home, at the office, or traveling. Its clean white finish delivers Apple's signature aesthetic, paired with a durable exterior built to withstand daily use. 

Additionally, the charger features convenient folding prongs that tuck neatly away to prevent scratching other items in your bag. Unlike single-port models, this adapter features dual USB-C ports side-by-side on the bottom, allowing you to connect and power two devices simultaneously. It ships without any charging cables, giving you the freedom to pair it with your own USB-C or MagSafe cables. Built-in safety mechanisms handle overcurrent and temperature management to keep your devices secure during operation.

Power Delivery and Protocols 

Moving on to performance, the adapter utilizes the standard USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) protocol to intelligently negotiate and distribute power between connected electronics. When charging a single device, it can deliver a maximum output of 35W—making it an excellent match for a MacBook Air or MacBook Neo. 

When you connect two devices at once, the adapter dynamically splits the 35W total capacity between both ports based on each device's power requirements, allowing you to efficiently charge combinations like an iPhone and an Apple Watch or an iPad and AirPods at the same time. Note that it relies on standard USB-PD power profiles rather than the proprietary Programmable Power Supply (PPS) extensions used by certain third-party devices.
