In similar news, Apple is said to be working on a 35W dual-port USB Type-C power converter that can charge two iPhone devices or accessories at the same time. There is no word on when or if Apple will release this charger. However, according to industry expert Ming-Chi Kuo, the Cupertino business might begin mass production of this 35W dual-port USB Type-C power converter in 2022. This year, it is projected to ship between 2 and 3 million devices. According to rumors, this charger may be delivered alongside a new MagSafe Duo. The adapter may not come with a USB cable, as is customary with Apple products.
