The Apple USB-C charger can be real if these pictures are

These photos of an Apple USB-C 18-watt charger can advertise a quick charge on Apple devices without having to resort to the purchase of third-party adapters.

Photos of an adapter labeled "engineering sample" were released this weekend. Chongdiantou.com (Google Translate version), as Macotakara noticed, and would have been taken by someone in the Apple supply chain.

One of the photos provides a close-up (almost illegible) printed specifications, which are the A1720 model; 100-240V, 50 / 60Hz 0.45A and 5V / 3A output, 9V / 2A. From there, the site calculated the output of 18 watts

Why is everyone so excited? Despite the USB-C support of its MacBook range, Apple is hooked to its Lightning connector for its iPhone and iPad lines. And Apple still ships those with low power chargers that do not support fast charging.

While some might think that a USB-C adapter is pointing to fall iPhones having USB-C connectors, we think it's more likely that They come with a USB-C to Lightning cable – and maybe this adapter – instead.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment
