Apple needs to do two things. They either make two chargers, one for iOS devices and another for MacOS devices each with a USB-C port as the termination on the back OR they need to very clearly label in some sort of embossed etching on every charger they make the wattage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been lucky because, for the last 10 years or so, I keep my chargers, headphones and more in the boxes the devices came in. At my office, I have a wall of iPhone boxes for privacy and I just have everything sitting on wireless docks. Because I\u2019m always charging (bedside, car, office), I\u2019m never less than 90% charged so a 5 or 12 watt Qi charge, doesn\u2019t matter to me, I\u2019m always charging but if you\u2019re on the go, speed matters and the HomePod mini, Magic Keyboard and iPhone 12 Pro has shown that Apple really need to get chargers under control. My customer sat would be decimated if my phone was dead on a business trip and I plug in to the AC adapter at a bar for 20 minutes and only get 5% additional battery on my iPad or iPhone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via Dairing Fireball: So the 29W adapter looks exactly like the 30W adapter, and if you make the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2021-01-01T17:45:50Z","apple_news_api_id":"3b746991-ae84-424f-b94b-3ea38e51e770","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2021-01-01T17:45:50Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AO3Rpka6EQk-5Sz6jjlHncA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8419","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-2bN","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5344,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/01\/27\/linked-macbook-charger-teardown-the-surprising-complexity-inside-apples-power-adapter\/","url_meta":{"origin":8419,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Macbook charger teardown: The surprising complexity inside Apple&#8217;s power adapter&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"January 27, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via Ken Shirriff\u2019s Blog: The imitation charger has about half the components of the genuine charger and a lot of blank space on the circuit board.
