Hi all,
Does anyone know if you can purchase the power adapter with the gigabit ethernet separately. We bought 2 M1 iMacs- a base model M1 iMac and an 8 core that came with the upgraded power adapter.
I would like to buy that upgraded power adapter for the base model. Is that possible?
They are available. Visit your local Apple Store or check Apples online store.
Adding to this in case others are in the same boat.
(Slight thread drift.... I wanted to purchase the upgraded power supply so we could plug a VOIP phone into the iMac and share the WiFi because the phone is in a spot without a hardwire option. This worked perfectly on my iMac so I hoped to get the upgraded power supply for the other one we bought.) /thread_drift
Stopped by the Apple store and the manager could not figure out how to order a power supply for the M1 iMac- He essentially started walking toward the accessories shelf and when I mentioned "M1 iMac", he stopped and said he didn't think those could be ordered. He told me to contact apple... which I explained I had already done multiple times and they told me to go to an Apple store.
He contacted someone "in the back". This person tried to look up the part and, after quite a bit of searching, was able to find them, but seemed confused as to how to order one for me unless it "was treated like a part I didn't receive with my initial order". Most were out of stock, but they had one color. Price was $109.
After talking with him, my plans changed a bit and I ended up with a Belkin USB-C to Ethernet adapter. Will hopefully solve my problem without the expense of the power supply.
(side note: Apple customer service was unable to find the Thunderbolt 3/4 adapter to Ethernet for me and, I assume, didn't know the USB-C adapter would work (which I didn't either)).
Thanks.
I checked the online store and did not see that specific adapter. I spoke with Apple reps via Chat and phone. They each passed me to the other. One saying it was an accessory and the other saying it was a replacement part but neither could find it.
In case I wasn't clear, I'm not looking for a simple ethernet adapter only....
I'm looking for the power brick that has the ethernet built-in (comes with the higher end M1 iMac models, but not the base model).
Yup, good strategy.
Call AppleCare back, tell them what you are looking for and one of them will find it. Whatever you do, please don’t be fussy about the cords color. It is not easy to find though. You may have to walk into your local Apple Store to order it.
good luck!
Got it. I'll visit a store. That way I can point to what I need so there's no confusion.
Purchase upgraded M1 iMac power adapter with ethernet separately.
