Yesterday afternoon was not only about introducing the new generation Mac mini a Mac Studio along with more powerful chips, but also in the spirit of supplementing the offer Apple Online Store. He added to it Apple in the USA updated version Magic Keyboard, and what is more interesting for European users, to local online and brick-and-mortar stores Apple A relatively inconspicuous novelty is also coming to stores, which will mainly please owners of newer iPhone and iPad. Specifically, we are talking about 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with maximal performanceonem 60W, which the company introduced last year. It is now available in a number of European countries, including the Czech Republic. The adapter is available in the Czech Republic for 1090 CZK, while in eurozone Apple It costs 45 euros. It is very interesting in terms of design. It offers a power of 40 W during normal charging, but can reach up to 60 W in short peaks.

As small as a 20W adapter
One of the most interesting features of this adapter is its size. Apple In fact, it managed to make a 40W adapter that is practically the same size as its classic 20W USB-C adapter. The difference in power is double, and there is also the mentioned possibility of a short-term increase in power up to 60 W.
Thats why Apple does not use the designation 60W adapter. Sixty watts cannot be supplied in the long term, but is only a short-term power boost, which is useful, for example, at the beginning of charging a device, when it is possible to get more energy into the battery faster. After a certain time, the power is reduced back to the standard 40 W, among other things due to the heating of the adapter itself. So it is not a 60W charger in the classic sense of the word.
Prono it Apple does he need it at all?
The new adapter makes the most sense for devices that can take advantage of higher charging power. Apple it is officially recommended for, for example, iPhone 17 iPhone Air a iPad Pro, while it is precisely at iPhone can help achieve maximal charging speeds.
At the very iPhone but the difference is not as dramatic as the name 60 W might suggest. The phone will not automatically take 60 W from the adapter just because the adapter is capable of it. Its maxThe maximum consumption is considerably lower. On the contrary, in MacBook Air Higher power can actually be useful. In tests, the adapter was able to deliver almost 60W for short periods, so it could be an interesting alternative for users who want one small adapter for multiple devices.
What about then Apple, which describes the adapter's features specifically as follows: "40W dynamic power adapter with maximal performanceonem 60W is designed to dynamically deliver up to 60W of power, significantly accelerating charging. The dynamic power adapter provides the benefits of higher-performance chargers.onem in a compact pocket design. Charging at home, in theancIt's faster and more convenient than ever for both home and on-the-go users. The Dynamic Power Adapter supports fast charging for iPhone 17 models (up to 50 percent in 20 minutes) and iPhone models Air (up to 50 percent in 30 minutes) and 11-inch iPad models Pro (up to 50 percent in 30 minutes) and 13-inch iPad models Pro (up to 50 percent in 35 minutes).” However, it is worth adding here that in about 20 minutes we were able to iPhone 17 Pro can also be charged with classic adapters with sufficient poweronem.

Konealso in the Czech Republic
Apple is now expanding the European version to a relatively large number of countries. For example, Slovakia is among the newly supported countries Apple according to the current list, it does not. However, availability is also confirmed in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Franceancii, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerlandcarsku and other countries.
For me, the most interesting thing is the combination of dimensions and power. Getting a 40W charger into a body the size of a classic 20W adapter is already a pretty nice feat in itself, and the ability to briefly increase it to 60W makes it a fairly universal solution. You just need to take into account that if you are buying it purely for faster charging iPhone, don't expect any miracles in the form of several times faster charging. The real benefit of higher performance will be more noticeable with the iPad and MacBook.
