I wonder what temperature this thing hits. I have an even smaller 65 W GAN charger[0] that gets pretty toasty under load. I can't really see Apple wanting to ship a toasty charger, though. [0]: https://rollingsquare.com/products/supertiny-the-smallest-65... | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Toastyness is regulated by law for anyone sticking to the law. Many devices are made larger simply to have more surface area to spread the heat over to stay within the law. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Wow, that's really small. Only 43 cm3 (without the plug) for the EU version. I own an a Anker Nano II 65W GaN Charger and that's already small with 64 cm3. I can imagine that Rolling Square one getting even hotter with that low amount of material, and thus cooling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Chargers that get to hot then thermal cut off (out of action for an hour) are so annoying. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I remember the old macbook pro chargers, they and the cable would get so hot it melted the insulation of the cable (over time). Not to mention the self-desoldering GPU’s inside the actual laptops. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
