    An apple design classic

    Couldn't be more opposed to those saying it looks ugly. Next to my MagSafe charger it just looks right. Well made and of quality materials too. In comparison the new triangle chargers you get with the iPhone and iPad mini, just look like generic other manufacturer copies. Severe lack of imagination there Apple!

    Also these work with the world travel charger adapters due to the interchangeable plugs.

    Quick charger than standard 5W charger

    I honestly don't understand why people slate this charger for being bulky. Or even ugly???
    What's more important? the look of your iPhone/iPad or the charger? Obviously it the iPhone/iPad.

    Yes it's a tiny bit bigger than the standard 5W iPhone charger. But the charge time is seriously reduced.
    Why do you think Apple issued this charger in the first place when purchased with a iPad?

    Answer: from 0% to 100% charges in about 2-3hrs with 12W charger, with the 5W charger 4-5hrs maybe more.

    With iPhone 4S this charger can charge my phone 0% to 100% in around 1hr.

    Considering the price paid for my ipad 4 the least you should expect is a decent charger, the unit is huge seems to get very VERY warm and takes ages to charge the ipad, further to this the ipad seems to not charge while in use either. Apple need to up their game a lot on this.

    There's no cable included, just the wall-wart. And they don't say so. And no obvious option to add one.

    I am glad they have finally released a standalone ipad charger without the stupid cable. I like to have a spare or two around in different rooms.

    This being 12w version is a Bonus, it charges my ipad 3 a lot quicker than with the 10w version

    It still takes an age to charge the iPad even with this 12w charger. I would stay with your original iPad/Pod/Phone charger, the cable is also not included. Adaptor is physically too big for travelling.
