Apple's using some proprietary cable to MagSafe." There are yet to be a C-to-C cable rated at EPR levels though. Apple was instrumental at proposing the 28V, 36V, and 48V new voltages levels to USB's working groups, so it would make sense that they were planning on releasing the first implementation. I expect that it is a USB PD 3.1 EPR charger (the world's first), using the first new voltage level, 28V at 5A. Benson Leung, a Google engineer who has worked on USB-C, commented on a Reddit post, This makes Apple the first company to release a device that supports the new USB-C EPR power delivery. Currently, USB-C allows only up to a maximum of 100 W power delivery. This is Apple's most powerful USB charger yet, which was made possible thanks to an updated USB-C specification.įor those not in the know, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) has updated the USB-C spec to version 2.1 that now allows for a 48 V 5 A i.e. The 16-inch MacBook Pro, on the other hand, features a 100 Wh battery and bundles a 140 W USB-C power adapter that can be used for both USB-C as well as MagSafe 3 charging. Those who desire the 96 W charger to fast charge their 8-core M1 Pro-powered 14-inch MacBook Pros need to cough up an additional US$20. Only the 96 W charger supports fast charging. The 14-inch MacBook Pro uses a 70 Wh battery and comes bundled with 67 W (for 8-core M1 Pro) or 96 W USB-C chargers (10-core M1 Pro and M1 Max).
However, there's a caveat when it comes to fast charging on the MacBook Pro 16. The new Apple MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 can be charged via Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports as well as the now-resurrected MagSafe 3 connector.
