Apple releases an updated firmware for the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable

Apple has released a firmware update for the MagSafe 3 charging cable for the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

Apple has released a firmware update for the MagSafe 3 charging cable for the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. 

It’s unclear what the update entails. The US$49 2-meter charge cable features a magnetic MagSafe 3 connector that helps guide the plug to the charging port of your Mac laptop. Pair it with a compatible USB-C power adapter to charge your laptop from a wall outlet and take advantage of fast-charging capabilities.

The magnetic connection is strong enough to resist most unintended disconnects, but if someone trips on the cable, it releases so your laptop stays put. An LED turns amber when the battery is charging and green when it’s fully charged. Made with a woven design for long-lasting durability.

USB-C Power Adapter sold separately.
