Apple has widened access to its 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max by releasing a version that works with type G plugs. People in the UK, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia can now buy the model with the three-prong folding plug. The earlier rollout focused on type A regions such as the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
This expansion gives iPhone 17 owners in these type G markets an official fast charger that keeps up with the phone’s higher charging limits. Apple says the adapter keeps the size close to the 20W USB-C charger, which makes it easy to carry in a travel bag or keep on a desk.
How the adapter works
The adapter delivers 40W during normal use and can briefly rise to 60W at the start of a charge. Apple describes it this way: “The 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max is uniquely designed to dynamically deliver up to 60W of output, providing a powerful boost in charging speeds.”
After that initial burst, the output scales down as the device heats up and the battery fills. This pattern fits how fast-charging systems usually behave, but here Apple manages both the charger and the power profile.
iPhone 17 models use this behavior to reach Apple’s claim of up to 50 percent charge in about 20 minutes when paired with a high-wattage USB-C adapter. You plug in a USB-C cable, connect the phone, and it draws the power it needs. The charger also works with iPad, AirPods cases, and smaller Mac notebooks that use USB-C.
Single device focus and pricing
The brick has one USB-C port, so you do not split power between devices. If you want a quick top-up before heading out, the adapter sends all of its power to that one device. Many people prefer a simple single-port charger for a nightstand or office desk.
In the United States, the charger costs $39. Prices in the new type G markets follow local currency rules, with listings such as 39 pounds in the UK and 299 Hong Kong dollars.
