Supercharge Your MacBook Air: Apple Unveils 70W Power Adapter, Charges Up to 50% in Just 30 Minutes

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

Apple released a new 70W power adapter with the 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 speed. 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, 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip, 13-inch MacBook Pro (2016 and later), and 14-inch MacBook Pro.

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