How Many Watts Does Your Apple Device Need? — Charger Wattage Guide (Pakistan)
Short answer: iPhone needs about 20-27W to fast-charge, iPad Air/Pro benefit from 20-40W, and MacBook Air/Pro need 30-96W depending on the model. The Apple 40W USB-C Dynamic Power Adapter (from Rs. 6,499 at AvaNext) covers iPhone, iPad, and light MacBook Air use in a single charger.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one charger really work for iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air? Yes, USB-C PD chargers automatically negotiate the correct wattage for whichever device is connected.
Is a higher wattage charger ever unsafe for a lower-wattage device? No, Apple devices only draw the power they need — excess charger capacity isn't forced onto the device.
What if I own a MacBook Pro? You'll want a 65W+ charger for full-speed charging under heavy use, though the 40W will still charge it, just more slowly.
