Whether you have a MacBook, an iPhone or any other USB-C-enabled device, you can use this 61-watt USB-C power adapter at home or on the go for fast, efficient charging. This wall charger has foldable pins for easy transport and the 6.5-foot charging cable gives you a little wiggle room around whatever outlet you’re using. Plus, with a USB-C connector at each end, it’s a great option for syncing and transferring data between USB-C devices as well. Apple recommends using this particular power adapter with devices that have Thunderbolt 3 ports for optimal performance.

Note that this bundle will ship in bulk packaging, which means it might be a cardboard box rather than what you would find at the Apple Store, but the products are brand-new and your purchase comes with a one-year Apple manufacturer limited warranty, just in case.
