US EditionApple Removes This Critical Accessory From European M5 MacBook Pro Boxes — and I Hope This Isn't a New Norm
Apple excludes power adapters from M5 MacBook Pro boxes in the UK and EU to comply with Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment rules, continuing its environmental strategy.
- Apple's new M5 MacBook Pro sold in the UK and EU omits a power adapter in the box, currently applying only to this model under WEEE rules.
- In recent years, Apple phased out chargers starting with the iPhone 12, saying it stopped including power adapters for environmental reasons.
- In the US some iPads and MacBooks still include power adapters, while Apple's Pro machines use 70W and 96W USB-C power adapters and the M4 MacBook Air uses 30W and 35W options.
- Buyers who lack a spare charging brick must purchase one separately, with the 70W USB-C Power Adapter priced at �59.00 in the UK and �65 in Germany.
- This policy already affected iPad Air and iPad Pro releases in Europe, and some users may be irked as spare charging bricks for MacBook are less common.
