Apple USB Power Adapter
Absolutely Useless!
Written by GB from Norwich

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!227 of 424 people found this useful
