MacBook Pro 16, 15, 14, 13 inch 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021,96W USB C Charger

Description

Here’s a breakdown of MacBook Pro compatibility with the 96W USB-C charger, based on the models from 2021 to 2024:

MacBook Pro 16-inch:

• 2021, 2023, 2024 Models:
  • Compatible with the 96W USB-C charger, but these models often come with a higher-wattage charger (140W) for faster charging via MagSafe.
  • You can use the 96W charger, but charging may be slower than the 140W charger.

MacBook Pro 14-inch:

• 2021, 2023, 2024 Models:
  • Fully compatible. The 96W USB-C charger is the standard included with these models.
  • Offers full-speed charging using MagSafe or USB-C.

MacBook Pro 13-inch:

• 2022 (M2) and earlier M1 models:
  • Compatible. These models typically come with a 61W charger, but the 96W charger can be used without issue.
  • Charging speeds will not increase because the device only draws up to 61W.

MacBook Pro 15-inch:

• 2016–2019 Models:
  • Fully compatible. These models originally shipped with an 87W charger, but the 96W charger is a suitable replacement.

Key Notes:

1. MagSafe Compatibility: For models with MagSafe (14-inch and 16-inch, 2021 and later), using the 96W USB-C charger requires a MagSafe cable or USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable.
2. Backward Compatibility: USB-C chargers are backward-compatible; the charger adjusts power output based on the device’s requirements.
3. Optimal Use: While you can use the 96W charger with smaller MacBooks, the power delivery won’t exceed the device’s maximum capacity.
