The plastic shell is really thick, and there’s black glue to keep the main module fixed. Once the charger is disassembled, we can see a quite sturdy structure inside.

They had to cut through the hard plastic shell to gain access to the internal components of the power adapter, which naturally will cause permanent damage to it. Moving on to the disassembly, ChargerLAB shows that there’s no easy way to disassemble Apple’s charger. To achieve the maximum 140W of power while charging the MacBook, the new USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable is required, as there are no regular USB-C cables compatible with the new standard available on the market yet. As a result, the components can be brought closer together and the charger can be more compact without affecting its safety. Gallium nitride, or GaN, is a material used for semiconductors that produces less heat. This is also Apple’s first power adapter with GaN. What makes this charger interesting is its new technologies, as it uses the USB-C PD 3.1 standard that can deliver up to 240W of power.

YouTube channel ChargerLAB has shared a video showing the entire teardown process of Apple’s 140W USB-C charger.
