The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,800, brand new and sealed, with a UK type G three-pin plug that fits standard Kenyan wall sockets. It delivers 20 watts through a single USB-C port, enough to fast-charge iPhone 8 and every later model, plus iPad, AirPods and Apple Watch. Apple designed it as the everyday wall charger for current iPhones, which ship with only a cable in the box. You can collect the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Built for busy iPhone owners across Kenya, the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter suits sales teams, journalists, university students and estate agents who live on their phones. The common problem is simple: a new iPhone arrives with a cable but no plug, and an old 5W cube takes hours to fill a large battery. The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter closes that gap. Apple states that iPhone 8 and later reach about 50% in around 30 minutes on a 20W adapter. That is the half hour between waking up and catching a matatu from Rongai, or the break between lectures at Strathmore.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops mix genuine Apple chargers with convincing copies, Mascom International sells only sealed, original stock with a receipt and a warranty. Copies often run hot, charge slowly and can wear down a battery over time. Customers across Nairobi tell us they come to us after a cheap cube failed within weeks. The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter costs a little more than a street copy, and it protects a phone worth many times its price. Visit us on Kimathi Street to inspect the seal, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter
How much is the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter in Kenya?
The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter costs KSh 3,800, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the genuine adapter with its UK three-pin plug, a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. A USB-C cable is not in the box and is sold separately at Mascom International. If you also charge a MacBook Air, the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter costs KSh 7,000, which is KSh 3,200 more.
Will the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter fast-charge my iPhone?
Yes, the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter fast-charges iPhone 8 and every later model. Apple states these phones reach about 50% battery in around 30 minutes with a 20W adapter and the right cable. On iPhone 15 and newer, use a USB-C to USB-C cable; on iPhone 14 and older, use a USB-C to Lightning cable. Charging slows once the battery passes about 80%, which is normal and protects battery health. Recent iPhones can charge faster still on higher-wattage Apple adapters.
Is the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter safe to use during KPLC power cuts and surges?
The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter accepts 100-240V input, so it runs on Kenya's 240V mains without a converter and plugs straight into a type G three-pin socket. When the grid drops, charging simply stops; when KPLC restores supply, it resumes on its own. Genuine Apple adapters carry internal protection circuits that many copies skip. In areas with frequent surges, we still recommend a surge-protected extension, which guards every device on the desk at once.
Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter or Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max: which should I buy?
Choose the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 3,800 if you only charge an iPhone, iPad or AirPods. The Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max costs KSh 7,300 and can also charge a MacBook Air, and Apple says recent iPhones charge faster on it. If a laptop is in your bag, or you plan to buy one within a year, the 40W model saves you buying twice. For a phone-only owner, the extra KSh 3,500 buys speed you will rarely use.
Which cable do I need with the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter?
The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter has one USB-C port, so you need a cable with a USB-C plug on the adapter end. iPhone 15 and later use a USB-C to USB-C cable, which comes in the iPhone box. iPhone 14 and earlier need a USB-C to Lightning cable. Older USB-A cables with the wide rectangular plug will not fit. Mascom International sells genuine Apple USB-C cables separately, and our staff on Kimathi Street will match the right cable to your phone in a minute.
Can the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter charge an iPad, AirPods or Apple Watch?
Yes, the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter charges iPad, AirPods and Apple Watch with the matching cable. Apple packs a 20W adapter with many iPad models, so your tablet charges at the speed Apple intends. AirPods and Apple Watch draw far less power and charge at their normal pace. The adapter also works with Android phones that charge over USB-C, though Samsung Galaxy phones charge at standard speed rather than Samsung's own Super Fast mode.
How can I tell a genuine Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter from a fake in Nairobi?
A genuine Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter comes in sealed Apple packaging, with crisp grey regulatory text on the body and tight, even joins. Copies are often lighter, carry misspelt text or a loose USB-C port, and many get hot within minutes. Price is a warning sign too: an adapter far below KSh 3,800 is rarely real. Mascom International sells only sealed stock with a receipt and a 6-month warranty, and you can open the box at our Kimathi Street counter before paying.
Who should buy the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter, and who should skip it?
Buy the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter if you own an iPhone or iPad and want genuine fast charging at a modest price. It suits students, commuters and anyone replacing a slow 5W cube. Skip it if you need to charge a MacBook Air; the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 7,000 handles that job. Skip it too if you want two devices running from one socket, where the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter at KSh 9,000 fits better.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Output
- 20 watts of output through one USB-C port — enough to fast-charge any iPhone from iPhone 8 onwards, on its own socket.
- Apple states about 50% charge in around 30 minutes on iPhone 8 and later — a useful top-up before leaving for work.
- Uses USB Power Delivery, the open charging standard — the adapter and your phone agree on a safe speed before current flows.
- Charging slows past about 80% battery — normal behaviour that reduces heat and protects long-term battery health on hot Nairobi afternoons.
- Input rated 100-240V — works on Kenya's 240V mains and on most foreign power grids without a separate converter.
- Single-port layout — one device at a time, so the full 20 watts goes to whichever phone or tablet you plug in.
Compatibility
- iPhone 8 through the latest iPhone models — fast charging with a USB-C to Lightning or a USB-C to USB-C cable.
- iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro — charging at the speed of the 20W adapter Apple packs with many iPad models.
- AirPods and AirPods Pro charging cases — they draw only what they need, so the higher rating poses no risk to them.
- Apple Watch — works with the Apple Watch magnetic charging cable, which carries a USB-C plug on recent models.
- Android phones and tablets with USB-C — charge at standard Power Delivery speed, though brand-specific turbo modes may not engage.
- Laptops — 20 watts falls short for a MacBook Air in use, so laptop owners should choose a 30W or higher Apple adapter.
Build and Plug
- UK type G three-pin plug — fits standard Kenyan wall sockets and extension boards with no travel adapter needed.
- Small white cube body — slips into a pocket, handbag or laptop sleeve alongside your phone and cable.
- Apple regulatory markings printed on the body — a quick way to compare against counterfeit copies sold along Moi Avenue and River Road.
- Internal protection circuits — guard against overheating and short circuits, which cheap copies often leave out to cut cost.
- No fan and no moving parts — runs silently at a bedside, in a shared hostel room or on an office desk.
Inclusions
- One Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter with a UK type G three-pin plug, sealed in Apple retail packaging.
- No cable in the box — a USB-C cable is sold separately at Mascom International, matched to your iPhone generation.
- Open the sealed box at our Kimathi Street counter before paying — you see the genuine product before money changes hands.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties — inspect the sealed box first, then pay in cash or by M-Pesa.
