What the specs mean for you

Charger to use

20W

For full-speed charging, use a USB-C Power Delivery charger rated 20W or more and a cable rated for at least 60W. A bigger charger is safe: the device only draws what it needs.

USB ports

1

1x USB-C (USB 3, up to 10Gb/s)

Data speed

10 Gbps

About 900 MB/s in practice, full speed for most portable SSDs.

Display output

6K @ 60Hz

Smooth high-resolution output for a monitor or TV.

Total ports

1

Compact: the essentials for travel or a light setup.

Why people pick it

  • USB 3 port at up to 10Gb/s, enough for a USB-C SSD or card reader at full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed
  • Drives one external display at up to 6K 60Hz, with extended-display support like iPad Pro
  • Works with Apple's Studio Display, Studio Display XDR and Pro Display XDR
  • 20W adapter and USB-C cable included in the US box

Know before you buy

  • No Thunderbolt: 10Gb/s is a quarter of iPad Pro's 40Gb/s port
  • Apple publishes no fast-charge figure, so the included 20W adapter is the only wattage Apple specifies
  • One port, so a hub with power passthrough is needed to charge and use accessories at once
  • Only one external display
