Apple USB Power Adapter

Unreliable

Written by SL from West Orange

Dec 12, 2009

I agree with most of the reviews here. This adapter is very unreliable. I have to plug it in and out of my outlet several times before it works. I was wondering if I just wound up with a faulty adapter but after reading this review I see that it's just an unreliable product. For Apple I'm pretty disappointed.

Apple USB Power Adapter

Works only sometimes

Written by CJ from DuPont

This came with my new iPhone, however it only worked once in a while. The first night using it I thought it was charging my phone it actually depleated my phones battery. I went a purchased a new wall charger and it works great.

Nice size... comes at a cost, doesn't last

Written by AR from Marion

I really like how small this charger is compared to older ones or 3rd party ones, but now I'm unable to use it. The thing broke and won't even power a laptop cooling pad let along charge my iPod/Zune anymore. Really hope Apple gets this thing sorted out and is able to keep the compact size of it. I loved my MBP and I even still have an old G3 Lombard that I use, just wish things were still built as well today. Not to mention that it is overpriced, I could maybe handle $20 tops but I would expect it to last longer then the maybe month that I had it.

Apple is good at boiling design down to the essential, and it works great. I love not having to lug around a big brick when traveling.

Apple USB Power Adapter

Inconsistent Charger

Written by AS from Skokie

Dec 7, 2009

This came with my Iphone and I expected better from Apple. The product is not consistent. It works in certain outlets and doesn't work in in others. Basically I have to walk around the house plugging and unplugging this thing until it works.

You'd be better off getting a traveling charger from Amazon for the Iphone. I have one of those and it works perfectly all the time. However, this item doesn't live up to the Apple brand name. My 2 cents...do NOT buy.

Not Great

Written by HS from Jenkins

I definitely just bought my iPhone last week and the USB Power Adapter hasn't worked since day one. Luckily I have my bulky, outdated USB Power Adapter from my old iPod Classic. Without, I would be unable to charge my new phone. You really dropped the ball Apple.

Would give 0 stars if I could!

Written by GL from Norcross

I bought a new 3Gs two weeks ago. The included charger did not work. I have now made two trips back to the ATT store and still do not have a working charger. I thought maybe I was going crazy until I read many of these reviews. At least I know I'm still sane. BUT I'm really mad because I STILL don't have a working charger--shame on you, Apple!!

USB POWER ADAPTORS ARE GARBAGE

Written by BA from Dartmouth

Nov 27, 2009

I bought two iphones in August. In both cases these adaptors have simply stopped working. Believe me, I take insanely great care of my apple equipment. I still have a perfectly running Wallstreet laptop! Anyway, these adaptors are poorly made, and a rip-off at $35.00. Shame on you Apple.

Pretty good, old one was better.

Written by MD from Hesperia

Nov 25, 2009

I got this one a couple of days ago and I have to say the older one is better. I got the bigger white one for Easter a couple of years ago and it has withstood a lot of travel and abuse. My favorite feature of the older one is the prongs folding in so they don't break off during travel, and it worries me, since the prongs on the new one don't fold, that they might break off when I'm traveling and its bouncing around my duffel bag.
Overall, I would recommend this one, simply because you can't get the other one anymore, and it does do its job.

The second one works great!

Written by BB from TRAVELERS REST

Nov 22, 2009

The first one I had was too loose in all the electrical outlets I tried and would not charge my iPhone. I do give Apple 5 stars in customer support though. With a few clicks of a mouse the new one was on it's way.

Uncompible with 3GS?

Written by JC from Belleville

Nov 22, 2009

After being charged a couple of minutes, my 3GS always pops up "Charge not unsupported with this accessory", and 3GS stops charge. Reconnect 3GS with it, it starts charge, but repeats this message and stops again in a while. 3GS can only gets 4~5% charge every time. My 3GS is running 3.1.2 firmware.

Stopped working within 1 wk

Written by EN from Bethesda

I got this adapter with my new Iphone and after using it 2x, it will no longer charge my phone. If this product is so unreliable, the cost of $29 for constant replacements is very expensive, esp since this is the only AC adapter available for the phone

Good Item, Bad Price

Written by BF

Nov 13, 2009

I got my adapter for free as a gift and it works all around my house, it so much better than having to go through the hassle of connecting it to the computer to charge it. Unfortunately, the price is too high if I hadn't gotten it for free I definitely would not have bought it. Thats the reason for only 3 stars
