Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter Expands to More Countries

by

Alongside the launch of new Mac Studio and Mac mini models, Apple today expanded its 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max to Vietnam and countries in Europe that use the type C two-pin Europlug.

Apples 40W Dynamic Power Adapter Now Available in Europe Feature
The updated variant of the power adapter has a retractable two-prong design. The prongs pop back into the power adapter's enclosure, making it easier to tuck into a bag or a pocket. Apple previously debuted a standard U.S. variant in September 2025 alongside the iPhone 17 models, and a type G plug version in November 2025.

Countries where the type C 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max is available include Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and Vietnam. In most eurozone countries, it's priced at €45.

The 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is the same size as Apple's 20W charger, but it offers faster 40W charging. It also supports up to 60W charging in short bursts to speed up charging further. The power adapter can fast charge ‌iPhone 17‌ models, the iPhone Air, and the iPad Pro models.

I wish Apple would use the modular "duckhead" design on its power adapters again so that the (now discontinued) World Adapter Kit ('https://support.apple.com/en-us/102747')could be used to switch plug types easily. I think the dedicated plug type Apple now uses is a big step backwards.

Isn't that just more honest marketing? Don't nearly all chargers throttle after a while, but they just don't mention it?
All chargers from reputable brands have temperature control for safety reasons to prevent overheating. But I think they will just turn off and not try to throttle power. So it's possible, that Apple was the first company to implement this "dynamic" charging technique.

But I agree, it's quite a convoluted way to describe a very simple technical concept.

I'm trying to understand this dynamic 40W charger. Does it mean that it can only supply up to 60W in either short bursts or a short period of time before it has to dial back down to 40W? In other words, it cannot sustain 60W charging for too long?
This is how it works. It has a temperature sensor that will limit power to prevent overheating.

IKEA also has a "dynamic" charger that works the same way.

Would be nice if there was an easy way for international travelers to buy this before they fly, ideally at local Apple Store (physical and/or online), or even if only in duty free airport shops. For example, I’m based in US and flying to Europe in a few months - I’d gladly purchase this before my trip, but there’s no easy way to do so in the US.

This isn't true, at least not in the UK. The 40W adapter is noticeably deeper than the 20W one.

It's almost impossible to find an adapter supporting PD 3.2 and AVS not made by Apple. These guys have a good thing going with this charger.
