FAQ

What Chargers Can I Use for My Mac?

You can choose either the official charger or a third-party charger for your MacBook.

Apple's Official Chargers:

MacBooks typically rely on USB-C chargers designed by Apple. These chargers are engineered for safe, fast, and reliable charging and are included with your device at purchase.

Third-Party Chargers:

You can also opt for third-party USB-C chargers that meet the required specifications and standards. However, always choose trusted brands like Anker to ensure safe and efficient charging.


What type of charger does my Mac use?

Well, that depends on your Mac's model and year of release. You can see the model number on the bottom of your laptop. Here are the main types of chargers for Mac:

USB-C Charger:

Modern MacBooks (including MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models from 2016 onwards) use a USB-C charger. These chargers are available in different power outputs depending on your Mac's power requirements.

MagSafe Charger:

MacBook Pro (2021 and later) and MacBook Air (2022 and later) models support MagSafe 3 chargers. MacBooks (before 2016) may use MagSafe 1 or 2 chargers. Both types magnetically attach to your laptop for fast charging.

MacBook (12-inch, 2015-2017):

This specific model uses a 29W or 30W USB-C charger, which differs slightly from other USB-C MacBooks.


What charger for a Mac?

MacBooks typically use USB-C or MagSafe chargers, depending on the model.MacBook Air (M1, M2) & MacBook Pro (2016 and later) → USB-C charger (varies between 30W, 67W, and 96W depending on the model).

MacBook Pro (2021 and later) & MacBook Air M2 → MagSafe 3 charger (connects via USB-C power adapter).


Can I charge my Mac with any charger?

No, not all chargers are compatible. However, if you're unsure which charger to use, an Apple official charger or a trusted third-party charger is the safest choice.

Or you can just choose the Anker 737 Charger(3-Port, 120W). It features two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing you to power up to three devices simultaneously, including phones and MacBooks. With Anker, you will get unparalleled charging performance and unwavering reliability, all without worrying about compatibility.


Is it okay to use non-Apple chargers?

Yes it's ok. But first, choose only the trusted third-party chargers that meet Apple’s safety standards. For instance, premium brands like Anker offer high-quality USB-C and MagSafe chargers that are safe and reliable. Second, check for certification and the correct wattage to ensure compatibility and protect your MacBook’s battery.


Can I use iPhone charger for Mac?

Technically, yes, but it’s not recommended. You may think that both are Apple's products, but there are differences in power requirments. An iPhone charger (typically 5W, 20W, or 30W) doesn’t provide enough power for most MacBooks, leading to slow charging or no charging at all.

Anyway, the universal multi-port USB chargers like Anker Prime 737 Charger(3-Port, 120W)can be the perfect solution for both iPhone and MacBook. It features two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing you to power up to three devices simultaneously, including phones, laptops, and tablets. So with Anker, you don't need to worry about choosing the right charger anymore.


Are genuine Apple chargers better?

Well, not always. It's true that Apple chargers are great, but they’re not your only option. As long as the charger meets Apple’s safety standards and provides the correct wattage, it can be a great alternative. A good example is Anker Prime 737 Charger(3-Port, 120W). It delivers fast, safe, and reliable charging while allowing you to power multiple devices simultaneously—something Apple chargers don’t offer.


Do all Macs use the same charger?

No, different Mac models require different chargers. In other words, the wattage varies depending on Mac's model:

MacBook Air (M1, M2, M3) → 30W or 35W USB-C charger

MacBook Pro 13" (M1, M2, M3) → 67W USB-C charger

MacBook Pro 14" & 16" (M1 Pro/M2 Pro and later) → 67W, 96W, or 140W MagSafe 3 charger

If you're looking for a one-stop charging solution, the Anker Prime 737 Charger (3-Port, 120W) is the ultimate choice. It supports simultaneous charging for MacBooks, iPhones,iPads, and more, ensuring safe and efficient power delivery without worrying about compatibility.
