New M5 MacBook Pro Ships Without Power Adapter in U.K. and Europe

The new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip does not ship with a power adapter in the U.K. and Europe.

Listings on Apple's online store confirm the 70W USB-C Power Adapter is not included with the new laptop in countries such as the U.K., Germany, France, and Spain. Customers in the U.S. and markets outside of Europe will continue to receive the power adapter with their purchase.

Apple is still including the USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable in the box for all customers. For European buyers who need a power adapter, Apple sells the 70W USB-C Power Adapter separately for £59 or 65,00 €.


The move is purportedly part of Apple's broader strategy to reduce electronic waste and meet its environmental goals. The company has gradually stopped including power adapters with many of its products, most notably the iPhone.

The trend has extended to accessories as well. The new AirPods Pro 3 also ship without a power adapter or even a USB-C cable.
