MacBook Pro owners know the difference a proper charger makes. The Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter is Apple’s recommended charger for the 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021 and later) — delivering 96W of USB-C output for fast charging that takes the battery from flat to 50% in approximately 30 minutes. At 96W it also fully charges the 16-inch MacBook Pro and handles every other USB-C Apple device: MacBook Air, iPad Pro, iPhone. The compact body with folding UK plug makes it practical for desk and travel use alike. As a genuine Apple adapter it handles Apple’s USB Power Delivery negotiation correctly — third-party adapters at this wattage frequently deliver incorrect power profiles that reduce MacBook charge speed or cause thermal warnings. A cable is not included and must be purchased separately — a USB-C Charge Cable or USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable depending on your MacBook model.
96W Output
Fast Charge MacBook Pro 14″ & 16″
96W is the rated output for the MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021 and later) fast charging — taking the battery from 0% to around 50% in approximately 30 minutes when used with a compatible cable. The MacBook Pro 16-inch draws up to 140W at peak load, but 96W charges it at a reasonable rate during normal use and charges it fully when the lid is closed or the machine is idle. For MacBook Air (M1, M2, M3) the 96W adapter is more than sufficient and provides faster top-up charging than the standard 30W or 35W adapters. Actual charge speed is always determined by the Mac’s own charging circuitry — 96W establishes the ceiling.
Universal USB-C
One Adapter — Every USB-C Device
A single USB-C port charges any USB-C device — not just MacBooks. iPad Pro charges at its full rate from the 96W adapter. iPhone 15, 16 and 17 fast charge at up to 27W. AirPods Pro 2 charges via USB-C. Windows laptops, Android phones, USB-C tablets and accessories all draw what they need from the same adapter. For anyone carrying one charger for multiple devices, the 96W adapter is powerful enough to serve as a single-charger solution across a full desk or travel kit without compromise on any device.
Genuine Apple
Correct Power Profile · Folding UK Plug
Apple’s USB Power Delivery implementation requires that chargers negotiate the correct voltage and current profile for each device. Third-party high-wattage adapters frequently mishandle this negotiation on MacBook — resulting in reduced charge speeds, thermal events or persistent “charging not optimised” warnings. The official Apple 96W adapter is tested to Apple’s specification and handles the full Power Delivery profile correctly across every compatible device. The folding UK plug keeps the body compact for travel. White finish matches Apple’s device range.
Great choice if you…
✔ Own a MacBook Pro 14″ (2021+) and want fast charging
✔ Want one adapter for MacBook, iPad Pro and iPhone
✔ Need a genuine Apple replacement for a lost or faulty charger
✔ Travel and need a compact folding-plug high-wattage charger
✔ Own a MacBook Pro 16″ and want a spare or travel charger
Consider something else if…
✖ You only charge iPhone or iPad — the 20W adapter is more practical
✖ You need to fast charge MacBook Pro 16″ at maximum rate — that requires the 140W adapter
✖ You need multiple USB-C ports on one adapter — this has one port only
Cable not included. A charging cable is required and sold separately. For MacBook Pro with MagSafe 3 port use a USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable. For MacBook Air and iPad Pro use a USB-C Charge Cable.
