Apple USB Power Adapter

Small is beautiful...

Written by CB from Oldham

Testament to Apple's continuous product improvement this latest USB charger is absolutely tiny! Just the thing to keep in your notebook bag to top up your iPhone or iPod on the go.

Surprisingly good value for money too as the package includes a USB2 sync cable that I really didn't expect at this price!

Next day delivery from the Apple store was much appreciated too.

All in all I can't award less than the full 5 stars - great work!

Apple USB Power Adapter

Fab but should come with the iPod by default

Written by SJ from Malton

This was the first accessory I ever bought for my iPod (4th Gen Nano). Just the thought of having to turn on my laptop with it's super slow start-up just to recharge my iPod stressed me out!

The power adaptor plugs straight into the mains power (3 pin plug) and connects to the same USB cable that came with your iPod. It comes with an additional cable which is great to have a spare.

I've found recharging with this adaptor is actually quicker than recharging through the USB port on the computer. It's also great to keep your iPod fully charged if you're using it connected to an external sound system or the TV.

Others have complained of their connections being loose, but mine fit snuggly with no worry of them falling out and the adaptor is robustly made.

I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the price. I feel, like others, this should come bundled with any iPod over £100 by defualt. It makes sense as there may not be a comuter to use to charge with, whereas this can be used at home, at work, at your friends house, hotel room, etc.

Essential Adapter

Written by JW from PETERLEE

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.

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 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".

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

Great product

Written by RS from Bournemouth

This is a great product to have and must be brought if you own an iPod. It is simple to use and it saves leaving your computer on over night and it charges well and keeps it charge. What a great product, I believe should be included when buying a iPod but i still give it 5 star

Apple USB Power Adapter

Essential item.

Written by MH from Sheffield

Yes, we all know Apple should include this when you buy an iPod, but they don't so let's move on. The charger itself is wonderfully packed inside a slim, but tall black box. On the side, a note is placed claiming that the product works with the Nano, Classic and iPod with Video. No mention of the Touch whatsoever, but I use this with my 2nd Generation Touch and thankfully, it works fine. I had previous bad experiences with the Belkin charger sold in Argos, it blew up on me after 10 minutes, so I thought the time was right to turn to official accessories - it guarantees two things - quality and compatibility. What you also get in the box is a spare Sync cable, that functions just like the one you receive with your iPod. You do have to snap the UK plug and the white block together in order to use the charger, but this is very easy to do. From then it's simply a case of connecting your iPod and you're off. Charge time is dramatically reduced compared to charging via a Computer. Highly recommended item. Thank you.

Essential, but expensive

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?

Really like this a lot!

Written by GF from Warrington

I've got one of these downstairs in the lounge so I can charge my iPhone or wife's iPod while watching telly. Works great, seems to charge faster. Really easy to use - just plug your existing USB to iPhone/Pod cable in and you're done.

It's small so ideal for travelling as well. Really happy that I can now charge from any power point without needing to have computer plugged in and switched on.

iPod touch must have accessory

Written by KS from Sheffield

May 20, 2009

While I agree with some of the other reviewers that this would be better included with the iPod - the problem is that it wouldn't fit into their small iPod box. Also yes having other countries adapter included would be useful - but not everyone goes abroad and so this would be wasted & bad for the planet. What would be a good option is to have a combination product that includes the charger and the adapters - keeping everyone happy!

I like it & wouldn't be without it, my only gripe is that the cable needs to be longer - maybe Apple could produce one so I can play with my iPod while it charges!

Brilliant

Written by PG from Leicester

Brought one of these brilliant devices to charge my iPod on the go and it has not let me down once.
For those complaining about a lack of instructions, i thought it was pretty self explanatory how it fitted together. And for the person who said the cable drops down to the floor when not in use, Why don't you take it out?

I like this product because instead of booting up your computer in the morning just to charge a ipod you can just plug in a wall and go so it you have more time in your day.
PS. be good if it was in the box
