Answer
No. Macs are built dual voltage, but you will need the kit because of the different electrical plugs around the world.

Thank you for that answer. I've been back from Brazil 2 weeks already, but I still appreciate people taking time to answer, and let me update my findings: Yes, same plugs/adapters/connections and voltage (220V) as in USA -- in fact in the Sao Paulo and other Brazilian airports, they have free charging outlets that everyone can connect into while in transit. I think it would be of great benefit to Apple to make a notation on their packaging stating Brazil uses the SAME adapter and this kit is not needed, and/or come up with a compact charger for travel if it uses the same 220V. The upcoming Olympics in Rio in 2016 is going to be a major destination and they can make a ton of money if they market, inform and even come up with a "light" version of its adapter. Just FYI, I am not advocating this because I am Brazilian, I am Italian-American citizen who could not find/obtain this info prior to my visit and I hope this info is shared with all those in the future who travel.

Will this work in Ireland to charge my iPhone? Do I really need it or just an adapter plug? Will the iphone charger take up to 240 volts?
Motorola phones say on the charger 110-240V, but I cannot read the silver print on the iPhone charger. I know I need an adaptor plug for Ireland, but I don't know if I need a voltage converter as well. If someone can read the charger for iPhone 3GS for me, that would be helpful.

You don't need this. One of those "plug changers" will do the trick (not a voltage converter -- just a plug changer). The little "white block" for the iPhone takes up to 240v (even the US one -- check the fine print on the bottom by the plugs).
I went to Scotland last summer and took both my iPhone block charger and my MacBook and charger -- plugged both into a short U.S. extension cord, put a plug adapter on the end of the extension cord and went about charging my gear every night. Both power supplies auto-ranged for voltage and it worked out great!- Answered by John K from Harrisburg

No it comes with the normal 30 pin connector to USB cable, which is what a majority of the Apple devices are using right now.

I am going to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Are all of the necessary plugs in the box? Can I use them to charge my camera batteries?
I have a Canon camera battery charger and would prefer to only bring one set of adapters. Will the world travel adapter kit work with other non-Apple products?

Best Answer
The world travel adapter kit does not contain an adaptor for South Africa or Botswana, not sure about Zimbabwe though.
When I went I used my regular charger and bought a local adapter, just note their voltage is 220v.
Hope this helps.- Answered by James S from Brookwater

Does an iPad 2 purchased in the US need a current converter, or only a plug adapter for use in Europe? THANKS

Best Answer
You will not need a converter for your iPad 2. However, depending on where you go in Europe, you may need an adapter. The iPad 2 (like most Apple products) will work worldwide without the use of a converter... but may need an adapter, depending on where you are.

Will this kit work in South Africa?
From what I can gather, South Africa has some plugs that are similar to India's and some that are type M, something unique to Southern Africa. Anyone been to South Africa and tried this out?

Best Answer
So, actually, after spending seven months in South Africa, I can now answer my own question. And the answer is actually no. South Africa uses a plug unique to Southern Africa that is incompatible with any of the plugs sold in the World Travel Adapter Kit. You need to buy an additional plug adapter or, alternatively, you can purchase a plug adapter from Apple in South Africa that will plug right into your AC adapter.
