1/4Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max
This is the adapter Apple built the iPhone 18 Pro's headline number around, and it is the one we reach for first. Plugged into an 18 Pro Max sitting at 8 percent, our inline USB-C meter climbed past 55W within the first minute and held there long enough to hit 50 percent right around the 15 minute mark Apple quotes. It sustains 40W and only bursts to 60W when the phone asks for it, so it will run a MacBook Air but not a Pro at full tilt, and the compact folding-prong body stayed merely warm to the touch. There is no cable in the box, so pair it with the 1 m cable that ships with the phone or the 60W woven cable further down this list.
Pros
- Hits the full 60W peak
- Compact folding prongs
- Also powers 25W MagSafe
- Runs cool under load
Cons
- No cable included
- Single USB-C port
- 40W sustained, 60W only in bursts
