Gallium nitride is a material that allows chargers to produce less heat, which means they can be smaller while still offering high wattages. Kuo notes that the new charger could have \u201ca new form factor design\u201d which would presumably make it smaller than Apple\u2019s current 30W charger<\/a>.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s first GaN charger was the 140W brick<\/a> that shipped with the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro. But the much lower wattage of the new 30W charger would likely make it a better fit for one of Apple\u2019s iPhones, iPads, or lower-powered laptops like the MacBook Air<\/a>. As it happens, last year\u2019s iPhone 13 Pro Max reportedly upped the iPhone\u2019s maximum charging speed to 27W<\/a> when used with the right charger, which could explain why Apple is looking to revamp its 30W power brick. <\/p>\n Apple may release its next GaN charger in 2022, which supports about 30W and has a new form factor design.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u90ed\u660e\u9324 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) March 7, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n But 27W is weak compared to what even mid-range Android phones require these days for fast charging. OnePlus\u2019 recent Nord CE 2<\/a>, for example, supports 65W charging via Oppo\u2019s proprietary SuperVOOC standard, allowing it to be fully charged in a little over half an hour. Meanwhile Samsung\u2019s recent S22 Plus and S22 Ultra can fast-charge at 45W. <\/p>\n This being Apple, it\u2019s unclear whether we might see the potential new 30W charger ship inside the box of compatible devices. As of this writing, Apple continues to ship power bricks with its laptops and tablets, but not with its phones<\/a> or smartwatches<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
