Apple Releases New 70W Power Adapter Alongside 15-Inch MacBook Air

Apple today began selling a new 70W power adapter with a single USB-C port on its online store. Priced at $59, Apple recommends pairing the power adapter with the new 15-inch MacBook Air and various other MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models.

70W Apple Power Adapter
From the product listing:

The 70W USB-C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office or on the go. It’s compatible with numerous USB-C devices and charging cables. Apple recommends pairing this power adapter with a 13-inch or 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip, a 13-inch MacBook Pro (2016 and later) or a 14-inch MacBook Pro. Use it with MacBook Air with M2 chip models to take advantage of fast charging, so you can go from 0 to 50 percent charge in around 30 minutes.

Apple has stopped selling its previous 67W power adapter, although it is still listed as included with the 14-inch MacBook Pro for now.

70w vs the old 67w adapter. They've shrunk it quite a bit.

Still doesn't look like it is GaN. Why bother updating the 67W while not going the GaN route? They were down on it with the 140W and the 35W dual port, I thought they would have wanted to switch the entire catalog to GaN ASAP.

Yeah I'm good, thanks. This bad boy ('https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Adapter-Foldable-Compact/dp/B08T5QN2TR/ref=sr_1_16?crid=N3QBVCIGS820&keywords=anker%2B7ow%2Busb-c%2Bcharger&qid=1686002257&sprefix=anker%2B7ow%2Busb-c%2Bcharge%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-16&th=1') from Anker already does 65w at a third the size and 15 bucks less.
Give them time and they'll have a 70w model in the same form factor.
Apple accessories are a joke and honestly they should just give it up at this point.
