Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max (A3365)
Apple's 40W with a 60W burst — but AVS, not PPS, so no Samsung fast charge.
Overall score 6.5/10
Pros
- + Foldable prongs, which Apple's 20W brick never had
- + Genuinely charges a MacBook Air at around 56W
- + The burst-to-60W behaviour is useful for phones that can take it
- + Apple build quality and support
Cons
- − The 60W headline is a burst, not sustained — 40W is the real continuous rating
- − Uses AVS rather than PPS, so Samsung owners will not get Super Fast Charging 2.0 — buy the Samsung 45W instead
- − Single port at $39 when 65W dual-port rivals cost less
- − Apple does not confirm whether it uses GaN
Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max (A3365) review: what the specs say
Apple's 40W with a 60W burst — but AVS, not PPS, so no Samsung fast charge. At $39, Apple's 2025 model sits in the middle of the range — the USB Chargers we compare run from $19 to $119.99. It scores 6.5/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Power Sharing at 10.0/10 — how well it holds wattage when several ports are in use — the spec buyers most often get caught by. The weakest is Ports at 2.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: the 60W headline is a burst, not sustained — 40W is the real continuous rating; and uses AVS rather than PPS, so Samsung owners will not get Super Fast Charging 2.0 — buy the Samsung 45W instead. Every specification on this page comes from Apple's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
