Apple USB Power Adapter

If you have a ipod--get this

Written by JM from Bethlehem

Aug 11, 2009

This is the product to buy for anyone with an ipod. To be able to charge your pod anywhere without a computer is not only convenient, but also a necessity for those of us who frequently use our ipod.

Apple USB Power Adapter

expensive, but no choice

Written by DS from Albany

Aug 10, 2009

It works well and is nice and compact. It is absurdly expensive, in part because it comes with a cable which is exactly the same as the cable that comes with the ipod, so one is paying for unnecessary duplication. However, generic usb power adapters do not work with the ipod (at least mine doesn't), so you are stuck buying the original. To clear up something from other reviews: The documentation clearly states that it works at any voltage from 110-240, so it should work in Europe with an appropriate adaptor.

Replacement Adapter

Written by JD from APO

I lost my previous fold-up prong adapter, so I purchased this new one. It worked great while I was in the U.S. I live in Germany and I have spent a great deal of time trying to determine the line voltage upon my return home. I finally found it in very small print in a very similar color to where it was written on the prong side of the adapter. The line voltage specs should be available on-line and written on the item in a larger, darker colored font. I would rather have the fold-up prong adapter, it's easier to pack even if it was a little larger.

Best of the Best

This charging adapter may be a little expensive, but it comes with an apple usb dock cable, so when u think about it, you are really paying $10 for the adapter it's self. All in all, it works great! Buy it!

oh its not THAT bad.

Written by RC

every review on this says something bad about it. it shouldn't be $30 when it should be $15, but it gets the job done. it doesnt have to be perfect, as long as it charges your ipod, right? its a good product and is worth the money.

Great!

This product is great! I used to have another charger, and the thing was way to big for me. This one is really small and easy to take with you! It charges faster than my other one also. I would recommend any one who wants an iPod/iPhone charger GET THIS ONE!!!

Apple USB Power Adapter

Has flaws!

Written by JK from Centennial

Jul 26, 2009

I was able to get this along with my new iPhone 3g, a flaw that i found was it is easily pulled out of the socket! Thats because the two prongs are sized the same instead of two differnt sizes like normal outlet prongs! Rather disappointing coming from apple like this.

Apple USB Power Adapter

does not charge

Written by MM from ATLANTA

Jul 21, 2009

My adaptor doesn't always accept a charge when I plug it in. When I use the USB (without it) with the computer and I have no problem. I've tested it on multiple wall jacks and used it with multiple USB adaptors but I always get the same result. Sometimes it takes 8-10 tries before I can pick up the charge or before I give up. Because it came with the phone, I can't return it. Any advice?

Apple USB Power Adapter

if it works

Written by RN from salinas

Jul 19, 2009

I cant believe no one else has this problem. It takes multiple attempts at get this to work with the Iphone 3gs it came with. Had same problem with original Iphone and its origanal charger. You have to plug the iphone, and charger together, plug into wall but it wont sync or start charging. so you gotta take out of wall and replug in. sometimes it takes 15 to 20 attemps. I usually just give up and go plug into comp. has same problem at multiple locations and outlets. to many attempts at plugging into a wall. I mean it should not be this hard.

Apple USB Power Adapter

Excellent, but loses one star for price

Written by JR from Mahopac

Jul 12, 2009

Compact, durable, convenient. One of the smartest things Apple has done in a while. It's such an elegant solution to carrying around yet another tangled powercord.

Would have been five stars except for the price point. I can't see any justification for charging that much for an adapter, except to exploit the "in for a penny, in for a pound" thinking (i.e., "Well, I already spent so much on my iThing, I might as well....").

Lucky for me, it was included with my iPhone, but I recommend it anyway for the real convenience it provides.

Best Product!

Written by TJ

This was included with my iPhone 3GS, but this power adapter is so great, I had to write a review for it.
Trust me, for those of you people that want this, get it. It charges my iphone 3GS fast, it's compact, durable, and the best. I don't know where I would be without this. It takes like 1-3 hours to charge my iPhone where it would take longer to charge my iPhone on my laptop.
5 stars (6 stars, but there isnt any option for it)

good value, compact size.

Written by EB from Berkeley

This unit does one thing, does it without complaint and is well priced. As a bonus it covers no more space on the outlet that a regular plug, unlike huge wall wart transformers.
