The Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max is an official charging brick engineered to dynamically scale its speed based on device demands.
Key Performance Capabilities
Super-Fast iPhone Charging: Paired with an iPhone 17, 17 Pro, or 17 Pro Max, it charges the battery to 50% in roughly 20 minutes. Older premium chargers or high-wattage MacBook blocks take about 30 minutes to hit that same milestone.
Dynamic 60W Scaling: While designated as a 40W pocket-sized brick, it can temporarily boost up to 60W max output to fast-charge compatible iPads, the iPhone Air, or MacBook Air models.
Compact Form Factor: It retains a tiny footprint nearly identical to Apple's older 20W charger and features travel-friendly foldable prongs.
Intelligent Heat Management: By lowering output voltage linearly rather than continually renegotiating connection speeds, it keeps the phone and brick notably cooler than third-party chargers.
