Charge a single device

To charge a single device, connect your device to either USB-C port on your power adapter.

Charge two devices

To charge two devices, connect your devices to either port on your power adapter. When two devices are connected, power is distributed automatically between them based on their power requirements. For most devices, power is shared evenly when you have two devices charging at the same time. For example:

  • If you connect a Mac laptop and an iPhone or iPad, each device receives up to 17.5W.

  • If you connect your iPhone and iPad, each device will receive up to 17.5W.

  • If you connect a Mac laptop or iPhone and an Apple Watch or AirPods, the Mac laptop or iPhone receives up to 27.5W and the Apple Watch or AirPods receive up to 7.5W.

If either device needs more power, unplug the other device and its charging cable from your power adapter.

If your device won't charge, loses charge or charges slowly

Your device may need more power than the power adapter can provide across one or both ports. Try these solutions:

  • Try charging a single device to ensure your device is receiving the most power from your power adapter.

  • If you're only charging a single device, unplug any charging cable that's not in use.

  • Try a different charging cable – preferably the one that came with your device.

  • Make sure your devices don't need more than 35W of power, which is the maximum amount of power that the power adapter can deliver.

  • If your device still isn't charging, it may not be compliant with the latest USB PD specifications.

If your device still isn't charging after following the above solutions, contact Apple.
