Apple's redesigned Mac chargers and $39 World Travel Adapter Kit move to a new 'AC Connector 2' plug, MacRumors reports
Apple has put updated versions of its Mac power accessories on sale in its online store, built around a redesigned plug connector the company calls AC Connector 2. According to MacRumors, which spotted the listings on October 28, the refresh covers the 70W and 140W Power Adapters, the Power Adapter Extension Cable and the World Travel Adapter Kit.
Apple's support documentation describes AC Connector 2 as a pill-shaped design that replaces the older notched shape, now called AC Connector 1. Apple says the change is down to updated regulations, and that new extension cables and power adapters use the new connector.
