Can a Mac laptop power adapter charge a mobile phone?
Apple officials have also stated that you can use a Mac power adapter to charge iPhone or iPad, and many foreign professionals have done relevant evaluations on this. Facts have proved that it is safe and rechargeable. (Refers to Mac notebook power adapters that use the USB-C interface standard, such as MacBook, 2018 MacBook Air, and 2016 and newer MacBook Pro power adapters)
Mac notebook power adapter can not only power iPhone Charging, it can also charge iPad, iPod, Apple Watch, AirPods and other devices. This is because the Mac laptop power adapter is backward compatible with the iPhone’s 2.4A charging protocol, so charging the iPhone in this way will not cause damage to the phone.
In fact, the Mac notebook power adapter supports 20.3V/3A, 15V/3A, 9V/3A, 5.2V/3A input gears, and is compatible with most Apple devices.
Since the 2018 iPad Pro uses a USB-C interface, you can charge the iPad Pro directly with a Mac laptop charging cable. Since iPhones and older iPads still use the Lightning interface, you need to purchase an additional USB-C to Lightning cable or adapter.
In addition, the power adapter of Mac notebooks supports the USB PD fast charging protocol, which can quickly charge Apple devices equipped with fast charging technology for iPhone 8 and newer models.
In addition to using a Mac power adapter to charge your phone or iPad, you can also use a Mac notebook to charge your iPhone or iPad directly, and you can even use an iPad Pro to charge your iPhone.
Even an Android phone with a USB-C interface can be used to charge an iPhone (Google Pixel 2), thanks to the fact that USB-C supports bidirectional output charging.
