The rapid support for the new high-power USB is parallel to the early adoption of USB-C in 2016 by Apple and Google, he added. "Apple was instrumental at proposing the.new voltages levels to USB's working groups, so it would make sense that they were planning on releasing the first implementation," he said in a Reddit post Monday. The high-power charger didn't surprise Benson Leung, a Google engineer who's worked on USB-C technology, including tracking down early problems. The 14-inch MacBook Pro, available in configurations with smaller 67-watt and 96-watt chargers, has a 70-watt-hout battery that's about 20% larger than the Intel-based model it replaces. The 16-inch MacBook Pro has the same 100-watt-hour battery size as its predecessor, but it includes fast-charge technology so customers can inject more power with a quick trip to the charger. Supporting the new USB-C standard is important for anyone who wants to use Apple's charger on other devices or third-party chargers on Apple's new MacBook Pros. ![]() The high-power charging works also with the laptop's USB-C ports, too, thanks to a new standard this year that boosts USB charging power as high as 240 watts. "MagSafe 3 has a new design that supports more power into the system," said Mac product line manager Shruti Haldea during the launch event.
