Apple could introduce its first GaN charger for smartphones and smaller devices, based on a leaked document.
There’s no power adapter in the box with the iPhone 13 of course, but you can buy a 20W or a 30W one from Apple if needed. Now it looks as though those products are about to be replaced with a new and improved 35W brick that offers not one but two USB-C ports. This comes from an official Apple support document spotted by 9to5Mac (opens in new tab) that has since been removed. It refers to an « Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter » and makes reference to the two ports on the power brick. Another little tidbit of evidence that this device could indeed be on the way comes from reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who tweeted last month (opens in new tab) that Apple was readying a new GaN (gallium nitride) charger to be launched sometime this year. If you’re new to GaN charging technology, it’s been on the verge of breaking through into the mainstream for a couple of years now.
