Overview

This is Apple's own small two-port charger. It is rated at 35W in total, and Apple publishes how that power is shared when two devices are connected: typically an even split of up to 17.5W each, or up to 27.5W plus 7.5W when one device is an Apple Watch or AirPods.

That makes it a tidy option for a phone plus a watch or earbuds, or for a light laptop on its own. It is not designed to fast-charge a laptop and a phone at the same time.

Best for: An iPhone plus an Apple Watch or AirPods.

Power distribution

The 35W on the box is the total. Here's what each port can deliver alone, and what the manufacturer says happens when ports share power.

Apple: “If you connect a Mac laptop and an iPhone or iPad, each device receives up to 17.5W.” The same applies to an iPhone plus an iPad. Either port can be used.
Applies when the second device is an Apple Watch or AirPods. Apple: a Mac laptop or iPhone “receives up to 27.5W and the Apple Watch or AirPods receive up to 7.5W.” The split depends on the devices, not the port.

Device suitability

Laptop: light (~30W)Needs verification
per-port output isn't published, so we can't confirm 30W.
Laptop: standard (~65W)Works, but slower
the charger's 35W total is below the ~65W you selected. It should still charge, just more slowly.

Phone: fast (pps) (~45W)Works, but slower
the charger's 35W total is below the ~45W you selected. It should still charge, just more slowly.
Tablet: typical (~20W)Needs verification
per-port output isn't published, so we can't confirm 20W.
Tablet: fast (~35W)Needs verification

Editor's notes

Phones and tablets: up to 17.5W each when two are connected; Apple doesn't publish a single-port maximum, though the adapter is rated at 35W overall.
Laptops: at most 35W in total, which suits only light laptops, and much less when a second device is connected.
Apple Watch or AirPods: up to 7.5W alongside an iPhone or Mac.

Based on published specifications and typical power needs for each device type, one device at a time. It isn't a guarantee for a specific model, so check your device's own charging specs.

Evidence notes

Apple's support article covers both 35W dual adapters (compact and standard) and describes power sharing by device type, not by port.
We couldn't find a published single-port maximum, USB PD/PPS details, weight or dimensions on Apple's pages.
We couldn't check the UL and Intertek certification databases automatically on 2026-10-24; a manual check is still to do.
No FCC ID is stated on Apple's pages we read.
The release month comes from Apple's June 6, 2022 launch press release, which names the 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter and says it “is available to customers” in several countries, but gives no model or part number and no separate availability date.
ChargerLAB's teardown page names the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Compact Power Adapter but doesn't print a model number; the compact adapter is the only product with that name. The page links to stores but doesn't state how ChargerLAB obtained the unit.
No CPSC recall names this adapter (saferproducts.gov searched 2026-10-24).
