Apple has been reluctant in bringing fast charging to iPhones. However, in recent years, the company has been improving this aspect. We’re not expecting anything close to what we have in the Android market, after all, Apple walks its own path in technological advancements. Despite this, the company is making moves that are familiar to those on the Android bandwagon. Today, the company presented its new Apple 35W Dual USB-C charger. The product is already available for orders with an initial price of 399 Yuan ($60).
Apple states that the Apple 35W dual USB-C charger supports charging two devices at the same time. The power adapter is recommended for use with MacBook Air. However, users can also use it to charge iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods. As per the report, when charging two devices, users can connect to devices to any port of the power adapter. The power adapter will smartly allocate the energy to each device according to its charging needs. For most devices, when the user has two devices charging at the same time, the power is split evenly. So it’s interesting to see Apple using a different approach here.
