What is on this page
These are the accessories whose name or choices name the 16-inch MacBook Pro, as "Pro 16" or "16.2", or by the seller's model number, such as A2485, A2780 or A2991. They are mostly clip-on hard-shell cases, some with a keyboard cover, screen protectors, privacy filters, trackpad films, keyboard covers in silicone and microfibre, a microfibre blanket that lies over the keys when the lid is closed, and sleeves with a 16-inch choice.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro, in Apple's own figures
Apple's specifications give the current 16-inch MacBook Pro a 16.2-inch screen, measured diagonally, and a body 35.57cm wide, 24.81cm deep and 1.68cm thick, weighing about 2.1kg. Since the 2021 model it has had a MagSafe 3 charging port, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a headphone jack and three USB-C ports, which are Thunderbolt 5 on the current M5 Pro and M5 Max models. The first 16-inch Pro, from 2019, is a different shape: a 16-inch screen, four Thunderbolt 3 ports, no MagSafe, HDMI or card slot, and charging through USB-C. Shells and films for it are a separate choice, often marked A2141.
The biggest charger of any MacBook
The 2019 model came with a 96W adapter and the 2021 model with a 140W one. Current models in the UK come with a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable and no adapter. Apple gives a minimum of 94W for the M5 Pro and 70W for the M5 Max, and 140W or more from a USB Power Delivery charger to fast charge. That makes the 16-inch Pro the laptop the 140W USB-C chargers are for, each with a UK plug. Over 100W, the cable matters too: use one rated for 240W from the USB-C to USB-C laptop cables. A 100W charger still charges it, more slowly under heavy work.
Carrying a 16-inch Pro
At over 2kg and 1.68cm thick, it needs a sleeve or bag with real padding and a deep compartment. A 16-inch sleeve fits it; check the inside against 35.57 by 24.81cm, more with a shell. Many laptop backpacks give 15.6 inches as their largest laptop size, so look for one that says 16 inches. See the 16-inch sleeves.
Questions people ask about MacBook Pro 16-inch accessories
Is my 16-inch Pro the 2019 model or a later one?
Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. The later models also have an HDMI port and a card slot; the 2019 model has only USB-C ports and a headphone jack.
Why does a 16-inch shell list several model numbers?
Because the seller has cut it to fit each of those models, such as A2485, A2780 and A2991. The 2019 model, A2141, has its own choice.
