You can <a href=\"https:\/\/photos5.appleinsider.com\/gallery\/65105-135925-Dynamic-Power-Supply-Options-xl.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">see it listed<\/a> on the charger specs from <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/25\/09\/14\/hands-on-apples-new-60w-charger-is-all-but-needed-for-iphone-17-fast-charging\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Insider\u2019s hands-on<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">For reasons of safety, efficiency, and longevity, the batteries in our phones and laptops do not charge at their maximum possible input for the entirety of the charging cycle. Instead it\u2019s regulated at predefined voltages to slow down charging as the battery fills. With AVS, the power source can provide a very specific voltage that is closer to the ideal needed for the device being charged, speeding up charging in the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">However, unlike a true 60W charger, Apple\u2019s little 40W GaN charger can not maintain that peak 60W rate forever \u2014 only 18 minutes as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/UsbCHardware\/comments\/1nfhctl\/hands_on_review_apples_4060w_dynamic_power_adapter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">demonstrated by Privaterbok<\/a> over at the r\/UsbCHardware subreddit. That makes it suitable for fast charging a new iPhone 17 but not a MacBook Pro, which is why Apple sells it as a 40W charger \u201cwith 60W Max\u201d and not a 60W charger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">It also means that you\u2019ll likely need Apple\u2019s $39 Dynamic Power Adapter if you want to match Apple\u2019s fast charging claim for the iPhone 17 models (\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2025\/09\/apple-debuts-iphone-17\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">up to 50 percent in 20 minutes<\/a>\u201d) or wait for Anker and others to provide a compatible USB PD 3.2 AVS charger of their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alongside its new iPhone 17 lineup, Apple casually launched a world\u2019s first last week inside the very dull&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65092,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[311,18,19,431,17,5,753,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-65091","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-iphone","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-tech","15":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
