Apple USB Power Adapter

Expensive, but you get what you pay for...

Written by JC from Arundel

Oct 21, 2009

I recently lost mine and was about to buy a new one, but it turns out it went through the washer and dryer. I let it sit for a few days, then plugged it in, and it was fine. You should use extreme caution if you are going buy one from a 3rd party. I am sure BestBuy, Amazon, etc are OK, but there are a lot of listings online that claim original apple charger and they are chinese knock-offs that look exactly the same. The bad news with them is that they are built poorly and smell / stop working after a short period of time. If you need a new charger, I suggest you just use your computers USB port, or pay the $30 for one you know is apple brand.

! Best i-pod wall charger !

Written by NK from Shingletown

Apple does it again!
This charger is compact, durable and most importantly wont fry your i-pod or i-phone.
It comes with a small usb cord (about 3 ft long) and the adaptor is so small you don't need any folding prongs.
Beware of other brands of chargers.
They are famous for only working part of the time and/or frying your i-pod/i-phone.

Yeah I just got an iPhone and this little thing does not work. I plug it in all working outlets and it just does not work. Really dissapointing considering news ones are 30 bucks

Broken at the fist use

Written by AC from Richmond

I got this adapter with my iphone. But it doesn't work properly, I have to wiggle it to get a good connection. I just got my phone less than 4 days ago and I have had to stop at Apple store 3 times to get accessories replaced. This disappointed me about quality control of Apple products. I have been a big fan of Ipod products. I hope that QC department will improve their processes.

works great with iphone/expensive

Written by DW from Scottsdale

i love this product because we have so many ipods and it works great with all of them! plus, if you buy the iphone, it comes right in the box, so you dont need to buy it! but, if you do buy it, it is almost worth it, but it should be $10 at most.

Works good though still too pricey

Written by JD from Aliso Viejo

I've had this for about 6 months now and I haven't had any charging problems until yesterday. I hope to get it replaced soon as this was somewhat unexpected. On the bright side, it charges faster than when connected to a computer and it works on multiple voltages around the world. If only it was priced more reasonably would I have more of these conveniently placed around my house.

Folding Prongs!!!

Written by HS from New Freedom

Oct 10, 2009

This is a modest, nice USB/AC adapter, but it needs FOLDING PRONGS! What good is a small size for, so you could carry it in a pocket and such, if the prongs are gonna poke you in the leg while the adapter is in your pocket? I have always known Apple to listen to their consumers and loyal customers. So I will hopefully see this product with folding prongs.

Not for use behind furniture

Written by DN from kunkletown

Don't get me wrong it's a great charger, but i plug mine in behind my bed and since the cable comes out of the back it increases it's volume quite dramatically. This could easily be fixed if the USB port was on the top or one of the sides

Small but effective

Written by CJ from JACKSONVILLE

I just purchased this charger today after I read the reviews here. Althought it does have a small cord, you can puchase a USB extension cable at any computer store. If the prongs could fold, that would be a plus. Small compact size is great.

Love it

Written by LA from Greensboro

I have this adapter with the dock (MB484G/A) and find that I use it every day. I set my iPhone upright in the dock each night beside the bed to charge overnight while using the Night Stand application for my alarm clock. Yes, it would be nice to have a longer cord, but if I need more length I think I could use an extension cord. Not a bad fix till a longer cord is available. I even bought a second adapter and dock to keep in my travel bag. This combination is so small, easy to pack and convenient that it just makes good sense for me.

need a longer cord

Written by ES from shreveport

Sep 27, 2009

i really like the size but i think it would have been better if the rongs folded up like the old one. Also why do the cords have to be so short? i'm in need of finding a longer cord so when i lay on the bed my phone will reach the bed while being plugged into the wall. and its way to expensive considering you have to buy a car charger too and most people buy more than one charger during their phones life.

SHORT CABLE!

Written by FS from Groveland

Sep 24, 2009

Sure it has a nifty design and a magnet so the adapter can hook into my laptop with ease, but the biggest downfall is the length of the cord.

I can't even sit in bed without it popping out and the outlet is right next to the bed!

I'd imagine this is a big problem especially for people setting their laptops on a desktop or table. It would also be lovely if it had an adapter on both sides so that i could choose where the cable is coming from, so it doesn't have to reach around.


Apple Adapter Cable I give a C-.
Minamalistic, but needs to be realistic.
Please and Thank You.

Great!

Written by TN from Murfreesboro

You did leave out a few vintage models that are quite happy having this charger refilling their batteries! What's missing? The iPod Mini 1G and 2 G, the iPod 4th generation, and the iPod Photo. Shame on you leaving those out. :-P

Regardless, it is a nice SMALL charger. Awfully tiny, but I have 3 so far, and all were load-tested at 1 amp or better output.

It would be awfully hard to find a smaller charger!!

(And *gasp* my non-Apple devices love it too!)
