Leaked images show Apple's dual USB-C charger

Apple's reportedly forthcoming 35W dual USB-C charger has now been shown in leaked images that also reveal folding prongs.

Shortly after an Apple support document revealed the existence of the charger, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that it was entering mass production. Now a new set of leaked images show what it will look like.

The three images appear to be renders rather than marketing photos, but they appear to show a charger that is around the same size as the existing single-port one. They also show that the two prongs can fold back into the charger body.

#Apple is planning to release its first 35W dual USB-C charger.#ChargerLAB got the leaked pics of it. It adopts foldable prongs, and unlike other chargers, two USB-C ports are side by side.

We'll bring more information about this charger.#applecharger #tech #iPhone14 pic.twitter.com/wzyR7bdHdi

ChargerLab, which released the images, is previously known for teardowns of chargers, including that of the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

The charger included in the Apple Silicon 16-inch MacBook Pro was Apple's first GaN charger, and the new dual USB-C charger is expected to use the same technology.

The original Apple support document was removed shortly after posting. Apple has not made any official announcement about launching such a dual charger.

The tweeted picture almost makes it look like it's bigger than the current block, big enough to block both outlets on a standard American wall plate. It's too bad they couldn't have designed it so that it won't do that. Especially for the price they're going to charge.

I hope the pics are wrong.

If it blocks both ports then it's not a good design. It's just a "leak" but based on these images I hope it's not the product in question.

Even worse, the USB-C ports are on the bottom of the charger, making it frustratingly difficult to plug a cable in without having to remove the whole thing from the outlet.

That was one of my first thoughts too. But I’d love to see those dimples on the sides that make it easier to unplug.
