Apple USB Power Adapter

Excellent quality but still over priced.

Written by DO from Norwich

This power adapter is really good quality and unlike all the cheap knock off's I have bought for my ipod touch, this one actually works!

I still think that this should be included as standard though when you are paying £200+ for an ipod.

Apple USB Power Adapter

clunky and expensive

Written by RJ from London

The compact profile of the adaptor would be welcome - but is sacrificed when connected into a three pin UK plug - and some of the other larger world formats. The result is a clunky and awkward item. It works well though. But rather expensive.

Great chsrger and is a universal 240/120 Volt for use in the US and Europe. Clever design of the unit - mine came with US and UK plugs and the USB to ipod connecter.

Good quality but too expensive

Written by AL from Carnforth

Jul 19, 2008

This is a great product - small, unobtrusive, and well-made.

But it's twenty pounds you're never going to see again, so if you already have one it's a waste of money. It's a simple case of charging too much (no pun intended) for a product. If they were ten pounds I'd buy two more, but I'm not paying twenty for another one to use at work, much as I'd like the added convenience of another.

Make Life Easy

Got one so I could charge my ipod anywhere,and it does mean I have not got to mess around plugging into my Pc,so it does make life easy.
Two points, it should come with the ipod as standard, and £19 is OTT.

Essential, but expensive

Written by MS from Southampton

Jun 10, 2008

You need this. End of review. Having to use a computer to charge your iPod is unnecessary and a chore. The only thing I can't work out is why it isn't bundles with the iPod. It is with iPhone, so why not iPod?

Essential Adapter

Written by JW from PETERLEE

Apr 25, 2008

This adapter should have been included with the iPod Touch and the cable could be a lot longer.

This adapter is essential if your away from a usb power capable device or you are tired of 'booting up' just to charge your iPod Touch.

Overall good solid construction and easy to use.

GOOD but BAD

Written by TO from Lee-Green

Apr 16, 2008

i think it is a very good product, but why doesn't it come with the ipod itself, when i charge my ipod with my computer the USB always disconnets and the whole process takes hours and the only other way to chare it is to buy an ipod speaker and a good quality one is very expensive

I agree with GB's review

Written by EG from Bedford

I agree with GB's review. The two pieces of my adaptor do not fit together firmly so I cannot plug it into a wall socket.

GB's criticism

Written by CD from Nottingham

Mar 27, 2008

Like SG, I cannot understand GB's criticism of the USB power adapter. I can only assume that GB has not pushed the two parts together hard enough. It is a pretty tight fit and I guess some people could be nervous about using excessive force. Trust me, if you push the 'mains' component down fully onto the two pins the whole unit is entirely secure.

Who knows what GB means!

Written by SG from UTTOXETER

Mar 23, 2008

With regards to the previous review by GB - I haven't got a clue what they are on about. The product works fine with UK power sockets as the adaptor and plug clip securely together and cannot be separated without force - it's very similar to the power brick for the MacBook and iBook range.

The £19 is steep, especially as iPods previous to the 5th gen included one.

Absolutely Useless!

Written by GB from Norwich

Feb 25, 2008

The adaptor is over priced and totally unsuitable for the UK market despite what Apple says. It comes in two parts and these have to be fitted together. It is a push fit and the two parts do not lock together. This means it cannot be used with a normal UK wall socket as the adaptor piece (which takes the USB cable) drops to the floor as there is nothing to hold it in place.

I have been told by Apple that the adapter is designed to be used with a floor extension socket. How many of us remember to pack one of these when we are travelling and away from a computer? Given the various designs of phone chargers these days surely Apple could design something that is more fit for purpose. In the meanwhile I can go away but when the battery runs out on my iPod, that's it!

Apple want's you to pay £19 for something that should be included with ipod when bought new, as it was with ipod 20gb classic I bought 3 years ago.
Superb products "yes" value for money "no".

Why not international adaptor?

Written by PW from Sun City

Feb 20, 2008

I love this adaptor, but surely with such a portable device as iPod, a choice of plug configurations would be sensible. The UK (SEAsia is same) plug is SO-O-O huge compared to say a US or Australia/NZ plug. I'd like to be able to buy the other, smaller, plug configurations to go on the adaptor (like the product photo!!) to make it truly international travel-friendly. PWR

Written by KT from London

Fine plug, very useful product, but come on Apple, £19 is outregeous, gadgets such as this should be no more than £10.

Should come with the ipod

Written by MA from Romford

Feb 13, 2008

This is a necessary accessory for any ipod as charging by computer connection takes so long. Therefore, it should really be included in the box with the ipod at the time of purchase.
