Expansion of the 40W Dynamic Power Adapter

Apple has expanded its 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max to Vietnam and countries in Europe that use the type C two-pin Europlug. The expansion came alongside the launch of new Mac Studio and Mac mini models, as reported by MacRumors.

The updated variant of the power adapter has a retractable two-prong design. The prongs pop back into the enclosure, making it easier to tuck into a bag or a pocket.

Background and Availability

Apple previously debuted a standard U.S. variant of the 40W Dynamic Power Adapter in September 2025 alongside the iPhone 17 models, and a type G plug version debuted in November 2025.

Countries where the type C adapter is available include Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and Vietnam. In most eurozone countries, it's priced at €45.

MacStories also covered the update, attributing the report to Juli Clover of MacRumors, confirming the details about the adapter's design and its rollout for Europe and Vietnam.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
