Recently, foreign media 9to5Mac exposed a support document accidentally leaked on Apple's official website, which mentioned that Apple plans to launch a dual Type-C port 35W charger.
Judging from the exposed documents, Apple's charger only needs to connect two Type-C data cables to charge two devices at the same time, and it supports a variety of Apple devices including iPhone, MacBook, iPad, apple Watch and so on.
However, it should be noted that the maximum output power of this charger single port is 27W, and the dual port is likely to reach 35W.
Fortunately, in the current iPhone 13 series, the two pro models support up to 27W PD fast charging, which means that it can already provide full-speed charging for the latest iPhone 13 Pro models.
At present, the credibility of this news is still quite high. Because Apple has been expanding its charger product line in the past two years, and well-known Apple analyst Mingji Guo has also revealed that Apple is developing a 30W single-port Gallium nitride charger, which will be Apple's first Gallium nitride charger compatible with iPhone devices.
After the news came out, Guo Mingxi also claimed that the project is close to mass production and will be launched within this year, and it is expected that the shipment volume will reach 2-3 million pieces this year.
If the message is true, it may be a boon for iPhone users.
As we all know, compared with the Android flagship with fast charging power of tens of watts or even hundreds of watts, the charging efficiency of Apple's mobile phones has been at a relatively embarrassing level.
The current Apple PD 20W charger, put on the iPhone 13 series are a little weak, if the charging efficiency can be further improved, the user experience will naturally improve.
On the other hand, the dual-interface charger charges two devices at the same time, which not only saves the space occupied when charging, but also avoids the problem of devices queuing up for charging due to insufficient jacks.
As early as last year, before the release of the iPhone 13, it was revealed that Apple would adopt higher power charging technology on the next generation of iPhones. So after this news was exposed, many netizens also began to speculate: iPhone 14 may be upgraded to 30W/35W fast charging, and even restore the charging head, directly with a 35W charger!
However, the professor here still has to pour some cold water on everyone.
Although there is no exact news about when the Apple 35W charger will arrive, whether it will be sold separately or launched in combination. But according to Apple's convention, this charger will most likely be sold separately, rather than randomly shipped on the iPhone 14.
You know, the current 30W charger in the Apple store has been sold to 340 yuan, it is estimated that the price of the 35W dual-port charger can reach more than 500 yuan, and it is not equipped with a data cable.
In fact, the current multi-port fast charge charger is not a new thing, in the past two years many manufacturers have launched a multi-port fast charge adapted to the iPhone, and Apple due to the use of its own fast charge protocol, its dual-port charger compared to other brands of products, compatibility has no advantage.
Therefore, for most iPhone users, instead of spending hundreds of dollars to buy an Apple 35W charging head, it is better to choose a third-party brand with higher power.
In the past two years, there have been many multi-port chargers compatible with Apple computers and mobile phones, which have become the "new favorite" of a large number of fruit powders.
For example, the recently popular GreenLink lipstick 65W Gallium Nitride charger, three interfaces can quickly charge MacBook, iPad and iPhone at the same time. Charging the 13-inch MacBook Pro on a single port can be charged to 75% in 1 hour; charging the iPhone 13 Pro can also activate full-speed fast charging, charging to 58% in half an hour.
A high-quality multi-port Gallium Nitride charger not only supports Apple devices, but also can be compatible with Android mobile phones and other brands of computers and tablets, improving the charging efficiency of multiple devices, which is a "one-step" for multi-device users. The key is that the price is also more close to the people, reducing the cost of using the machine for everyone.
This is also why many iPhone users have not shown the slightest expectation for Apple's 35W charger.
If Apple launched this dual-port charger, would you consider buying it?
