Apple is characterized by making some releases in a very discreet way. This is what has been seen today with the launch of a new version of USB-C charger. But the only problem that could be found is that the differences that exist are very few and that is why it is still not fully understood why this launch was made.
Charger Features
This new USB-C charger model is rated at 30W and has model number MY1W2AM / A. What anyone visualizes when going to make an accessory of this type is undoubtedly the design. In this new version there is no exchange rate, but there is no option to buy the previous model that visually was the same. We must bear in mind that the previous model, which visually was exactly the same, had the MR2A2LL / A as its serial number.
This is a move that was already made in June 2018 when the company replaced the current power adapter. In that year, the change was made from the 29W version to the 30W version, which is the one that has been accompanying the teams at present.
The adapter continues to have a USB-C output making it compatible with all devices that could be connected until now. It is traditionally paired with the 13-inch MacBook Air with a retina display. But as long as you have the corresponding cable, you can charge other equipment such as the iPhone or iPad as long as it is compatible with the quick charge that is going to be done with this charger. In addition to being able to buy it as a replacement in any Apple store, it will also begin to arrive gradually with the Mac in their boxes. The main changes may be inside the transformer where it can never be seen. There may be security and performance reasons behind it to improve the user experience. This will also reduce the cases in which the MacBook Air does not start.
We are talking about a charger that must always be as efficient as possible in order to avoid an overload or mismanagement of the electricity you are using. That is why this engineering work may not be very interesting but it is really important. This type of update should certainly be applauded, even if it is not done in earnest.
Price and availability
This new adapter is currently for sale through the Apple Store Online , with no option to pick it up at a physical Apple store at the moment. The price has continued to be maintained at € 55 and has practically identical home delivery. The problem that can be found when making this purchase is that the charger comes alone. This means that it is not accompanied in any case by a cable with a USB-C input so it must be purchased separately.
