Apple updates Mac power adapters and World Travel Adapter Kit
Apple has updated its 70W and 140W power adapters and the Power Adapter Extension Cable.
The changes are available through Apple's online store in the United States and many other countries.

Apple also updated its World Travel Adapter Kit, which includes five plugs for use in different regions.
The kit had disappeared from Apple's online store in 2025, and its US price is $39.
