Just a few hours ago, Apple launched its new USB C charger in the online store and this charger is not compatible with Macs. We say this because surely there are many users who are thinking of buying a slightly cheaper replacement to charge their equipment and no, the best thing is that buy the Mac power adapter that has 30W and not 18W like the new one.
Surely this new adapter launched by Apple for the iPhone and iPad would serve to charge our Macs, but it will do so in a somewhat slower way and for that reason the recommendation is that do not rush to purchase if you are not going to use it with an iPhone or iPad.
35 euros and 55 euros respectively for these USB C chargers
The prices of these Apple chargers are, as you can see, at 35 euros for the new model with 18W and at 55 euros for the model that does work for our 30W Macs. In this case the list of products compatible with the new charger is:
For iPhones:
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8
- 8 iPhone Plus
For iPads:
- 11-inch iPad Pro
- 12,9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation)
- 10,5-inch iPad Pro
- 12,9-inch iPad Pro (2rd generation)
- 12,9-inch iPad Pro (1rd generation)
So no, these USB C chargers are not manufactured for Macs and therefore it is recommended that you do not think about buying it to save a few euros since it is not suitable for our computers. For now, the shipment of this product is carried out immediately and the Expected delivery date is for those who want to buy it is for December 10.
