The adapters can be used to charge two devices at the same time and feature foldable prongs. Apple recommends using the adapters with the new MacBook Air, but they are also compatible with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods models.

The compact adapter will be included in the box with the new MacBook Air when configured with an M2 chip with a 10-core GPU and 512GB of storage or better.

Apple has not provided a specific release date for purchasing the adapters separately.

For foreign travel. Plug is swappable on the bigger one.
And even for people who don't travel, Apple sell an extension cord that I personally use all the time to reach an outlet. Can't use it on the compact one.

Why would anyone choose the non-compact adapter, given that they're the same price?
The regular ones are great for when you travel a lot. Super easy to change the plug thingy.

I wish it had come in the color space gray or black. It would be nice to see it in different colors.
