The Apple Advanced 40W USB-C Power Adapter is Apple’s intelligent charger for households that run on more than one Apple device. It delivers 40W as standard and dynamically scales up to 60W max when the connected device can use it — more power for a MacBook Air, measured charging for an iPhone or iPad, all decided automatically by Apple’s own power management. Compact, genuine, and on a UK plug.
Power
40W standard, up to 60W max
Dynamic power delivery reads what is plugged in and responds: a MacBook Air pulls up to the 60W ceiling when it needs it, an iPhone 15 or 16 fast-charges at its own maximum, an iPad sits comfortably in between. One adapter covers the whole Apple drawer — no more choosing which brick to pack.
Intelligence
Apple’s own power management
Advanced regulation adjusts current in real time to protect the connected device — stable output, no spikes, safe temperatures. It is the engineering difference between a genuine Apple adapter and the unbranded bricks that claim the same wattage on the label.
Design
Compact, travel-ready, UK plug
Light enough for a laptop bag’s front pocket, built to Apple’s usual finish, with a proper UK 3-pin plug. Home desk, office, hotel room — one small adapter that genuinely replaces two.
Right choice if you…
✔ Charge a mix of iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air with one adapter
✔ Want genuine Apple power management, not a lookalike brick
✔ Need a compact charger that travels well on a UK plug
✔ Fast-charge an iPhone (uses roughly half this adapter’s headroom)
Consider something else if…
✖ You charge an iPhone wirelessly on the desk — see the Apple MagSafe Charger (2m)
✖ You need to power a 14″/16″ MacBook Pro under load — those ship with higher-wattage adapters
✖ You charge a Samsung phone — the Samsung 25W TA800 set is the matched choice

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “40W standard, 60W max” actually mean?
The adapter guarantees 40W continuous output and can surge to 60W when a capable device — typically a MacBook Air — requests it. The connected device always decides how much it draws; the adapter never pushes more than the device asks for.
Will it fast-charge my iPhone?
Yes — any iPhone from the 8 onwards fast-charges from this adapter with a USB-C to Lightning or USB-C to USB-C cable (roughly 50% in half an hour on recent models). iPhones draw 20–27W, so there is ample headroom.
Can it charge a MacBook?
A MacBook Air charges at full speed. A MacBook Pro will also charge, just more slowly under heavy load — fine overnight or for light work, but the Pro’s own higher-wattage adapter remains the right tool for sustained performance.
Is a cable included?
No — like all Apple power adapters, it ships adapter-only. Any USB-C cable works; use a genuine or certified cable to get full charging speed.
