Higher-voltage charging with AVS (Adjustable Voltage Supply) under USB-PD 3.2 isn’t just about pushing more volts. According to USB-IF and industry partners, AVS allows chargers and devices to negotiate intermediate voltages in fine steps of around 100 mV across the 9–20 V range. This enables the supply to match more closely what the battery actually requires, reducing wasted energy, heat, and electrical stress on both cables and connectors.

Because the same power can be delivered at lower current, the I²R resistive losses are significantly reduced, which in turn allows the use of conductors with smaller cross-sectional area without compromising efficiency or safety. The result is faster charging that runs cooler, more efficient, and ultimately smarter.

Specifically, Apple released its new Dynamic Power Adapter with these specifications:
• 5V - 3A
• 9V - 3A
• (AVS) 9-15V - 2.67A (3A DPS)
• (AVS) 15-20V - 2A (3A DPS)

Xiaomi is leaving India?! Not quite, but the situation is difficult

And it wasn't long ago that the company boasted of its leadership
👇👇 more (speculation)

Back in May, we noticed that Xiaomi is rapidly losing the Indian market. – a region where the company collected 45% of revenue in 2018. In August, the situation it kept getting worse And now the big media has started writing about it. The Economic Times published an article about Xiaomi's deteriorating growth prospects in India due to increased regulatory scrutiny and reduced market share. This turned into Xiaomi's reluctance to invest in this country.

In 2025, India failed to enter the top five markets in more than 100 countries where the company operates, and sources close to the situation report a single-digit drop in that contribution (less than 10%). As part of Indian regulators" investigations, Xiaomi's 47 billion rupees were frozen.


And it used to be like that.
"Development of products focused exclusively on India has stopped, with an emphasis only on global products. Without significant software adaptation for the Indian market, Xiaomi is struggling to build up its user base, especially in the premium segment, where shared experiences are of great importance," the industry spokesperson argues.

The company has reportedly cut marketing investments in India and is also experiencing an outflow of senior management. Xiaomi has also halted plans to launch new categories of goods such as washing machines and air conditioners in India. Testing of these products, including refrigerators, has already been completed, and the company has even been negotiating their release." But now it's all canceled and probably won't see the light of day. Apparently, Xiaomi's headquarters is now poorly interested in the Indian market and will continue to operate on a residual basis. in India.
