16-Inch MacBook Pro May Ship With 96W USB-C Power Adapter

Apple may be readying a 96W USB-C power adapter for the widely rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro, according to information received by Chongdiantou (https://www.weibo.com/1677177940/I9VqOdHrp?from=page_1006061677177940_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&type=comment#_rnd1570193418812), the Chinese-language sibling website of ChargerLAB.





Chongdiantou received a blurry photo of the alleged power adapter's label from an unidentified source via Chinese messaging app WeChat. The source claimed the 96W power adapter has a model identifier of A2166 and will be similarly sized as Apple's existing 87W USB-C power adapter for the 15-inch MacBook Pro.

While the blurry photo is rather sketchy, Apple previously confirmed that its upcoming Pro Display XDR will be capable of up to 96W pass-through charging (https://www.apple.com/pro-display-xdr/specs/), which is more power than necessary for any portable device that Apple currently ships. Thus, perhaps the higher-power charger is for the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Chongdiantou has an established track record in this area, having shared accurate photos of Apple's existing 18W USB-C power adapter (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/07/02/apple-18w-usb-c-charger-photos/) in July 2018, nearly four months before it was included with 2018 iPad Pro models.





Apple plans to release a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an all-new design later this year, according to reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The notebook will feature a scissor keyboard (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/07/25/kuo-16-inch-macbook-pro-scissor-keyboard/), he said, after years of butterfly keyboard issues on MacBooks that prompted Apple to launch a worldwide repair program.
