Apple has officially extended its 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max output to new international markets. As of August 25, 2026, the company made this accessory available in several European nations that use the type C two-pin Europlug, along with Vietnam. This new plug design complements the U.S. version released in September 2025 and the U.K.-style type G version launched in late 2025.
In countries such as Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey, consumers can now purchase the type C variant. Vietnam has also been added to the list of countries getting the updated design. In the eurozone, the accessory is priced around €45.
Specs & Compatibility
The 40W Dynamic Power Adapter offers everyday charging capabilities with a nominal output of 40 watts, while supporting bursts of up to 60 watts to accelerate charging when needed. The body of the adapter is comparable in size to Apple’s 20W charger, with a retractable two-prong mechanism allowing the prongs to fold into the housing for compact portability.
It is compatible with several Apple product lines, including the iPhone 17 models, the iPhone Air, and iPad Pro devices. These items are now able to benefit from faster charging speeds through this adapter. The product joins Apple’s existing versions released for different plug types earlier—U.S. variant in September 2025 and type G version in November 2025.
Why It Matters
This release aligns with Apple’s move toward greater global consistency in its accessory offerings. Users in Europe and Vietnam who’ve been waiting for a compact, higher-wattage charger from Apple now have that option without needing plug adapters. The retractable prongs mark a user-friendly shift toward more portability and reduced clutter for travelers.
Pricing at €45 in eurozone countries places it above many basic 20W or 30W chargers, but the added wattage, flexible compatibility, and build‐in premium features could justify the difference for frequent users of higher-demand Apple gear.
What to watch: whether this charger makes its way into more regions in Asia, Latin America, and emerging markets. Also interesting will be whether Apple introduces more wattage variants or matching USB-C equivalent options designed around foldable or upcoming Ultra‐series devices, especially with iPhone 18 models expected later this year.
