The Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter is Apple’s own single-port charger for MacBook Pro, and this is the UAE version, part number MW2L3ZE/A, with the three-pin Type G plug that fits local wall sockets. Apple describes it simply as offering quick, efficient charging at home, in the office or on the go. One thing to know before ordering: Apple sells it without a cable, so you use the USB-C or MagSafe 3 cable you already have.

What the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter Is For
Apple lists the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter as compatible with MacBook Pro models from the 16-inch (2019) through the 14-inch and 16-inch models of 2021, 2023 and 2024 and the M5-generation machines, as well as the 13-inch M1 and M2 models. It also covers every MacBook Air from the 12-inch (2015) to the latest 13-inch and 15-inch models.
Beyond laptops, Apple’s compatibility list includes iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad and iPad mini models, iPhone 15 and later (including iPhone 16e, iPhone 17e and iPhone Air), every Apple Watch from Series 1 to Ultra 3, AirPods Pro, AirPods 4, AirPods Max and Apple Vision Pro. In other words, one adapter can live on a desk and charge whatever Apple device comes next, as long as you have the right cable for it.
Fast Charging a 14-inch MacBook Pro
The headline figure comes from Apple’s own testing. Apple says that with a 14-inch MacBook Pro and the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable, the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter can fast-charge the laptop to up to 50 percent in around 30 minutes. Apple’s footnote explains that the test used MacBook Pro systems with the M5 chip, and that charge time varies with settings and environmental factors.
Read that claim with its conditions. It is for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, it assumes the MagSafe 3 cable, and it describes the first half of the battery. Apple does not make the same half-hour claim for the 16-inch models on this product page, even though they are listed as compatible.
The Cable Question
Apple states plainly: charging cable sold separately. The box contains only the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter itself. If you are replacing a lost MacBook charger, check which cable you still have. A MacBook Pro with a MagSafe 3 port charges fastest through a USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable, which is the cable Apple used in its fast-charge test.
If you plan to use a plain USB-C to USB-C cable, its rating matters. Our Apple 1m USB-C charging cable is rated at 60W, so it cannot carry the adapter’s full 96W. The Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable supports 100W charging.
UAE Version: Type G Plug
This is the version Apple sells in the UAE under MW2L3ZE/A, and Apple’s product images for it show the three-pin Type G plug used across the Emirates. There is no need for a travel adapter at home, and no loose plug in a wall socket. Apple identifies the adapter itself as Model A2166, the same model number used in its fast-charge testing.
Which Apple Adapter Should You Choose
For a MacBook Air or an iPad, a smaller unit such as the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter is often enough and easier to carry. For the 16-inch MacBook Pro, Apple also makes the Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter. The Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter sits in the middle: the one Apple ties to its fast-charge claim for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, with enough headroom to charge anything else in the Apple range.
Who This Is Not For
Anyone expecting a cable in the box: there is none. Budget for a USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable or a suitable USB-C cable if you do not already own one.
People who want to charge two devices at once: the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter has a single USB-C port. And if you only charge an iPhone or AirPods, a 96W laptop adapter is far more than you need; a small phone charger does the job for less.
