Apple USB Power Adapter

AMAZING EXAMPLE OF APPLE TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY

Written by PL from Lodi

Jan 22, 2009

for those of you who do not understand
converting 120V AC to USB power levels (approx 3-5V DC) is not an easy feat.

Doing this in an 1" x 1" x 1" cube that generates NO HEAT is by far the single most impressive piece of technology apple sells.

Digital switched power converters are expensive because they are complicated.
30$ is a small price to pay for such an efficient device

It's about time someone made the USB power adapter as small as possible, which I'm happy to say was Apple. Just Perfect for both travel and home use. a little cheaper would be nice but even still, anyone looking to purchase a new/another USB Power Adapter should definitely give this one a shot.

Has the same output (1 Amp) as my larger charger I bought. Comes with the $20 cable too! If you admire Apple's style, you'll love this too.

This is a really great product, it not only can charge my itouch but it can also charge my digital camera! I also some times use it to connect other things that can be charged with a usb cable, and when I don't feel like turning on my computer I use the usb power adapter to connect my usb powered speakers, and then connect it to my ipod.

If you read the fine print on the booklet with the adapter it explicitly states that it's for "110-240 VAC and 50-60hz" That covers anything you'll run across except in the third world maybe. All you need is the plug adapter for the country you happen to be in. Good little product.

This product truly is great. It liberates you from needing to have constant access to a computer in case your battery begins to get low. I like the fact that another sync cable is included with the adapter. This lets me keep the cable that came with the ipod at my computer so I can sync my ipod while I can leave the other attached to the adapter to be used solely for charging. the 30 dollar price really isn't too bad considering that it costs 20 for an extra cable.

This is so compact and easy to travel with. The workmanship is outstanding and as silly as it sounds, it is fun to hold. It's Apple's attention to detail that continues to propel them to the front of the line. While most companies could care less about something as simple as an adapter, Apple puts thought into it - they leave no detail to chance. This is why Apple is the premier consumer electronics company.

Amazing Product

Months ago, I purchased Apple's second generation Ipod Touch. Unfortunately,the battery on the device would die constantly, so I was constantly having to put it on my computer to charge for some time until it was fully done. Once I purchased this usb power charger, I have no issues. It charges my Ipod faster and the battery life seems slightly longer,plus, it is more convenient to charge with a wall charger then having to turn on your computer and charge it with that process.

I purchased this charge at my local apple store and I am very impressed with it. It charges fast (faster than the other one apple sells) and easy to pack up for trips, getaways, etc. I would recommend this charger for anybody who uses their on a daily basis or need a quick charge.

i love the compactness of the device.with its input ranging from 100v - 240v and 50 - 60 hz you can use it anywhere in the world outside the USA all you need is an adapter plug to fit the style of plug used in the country you are travelling in.APC has one that i like best since it is also very compact and works truly worldwide.

Great product

I have both the adapter with foldable prongs and this one. Although the other adapter is easier to place in my bag without fear of damage thanks to the folding prongs, it covers outlets on crowded power strips. This adapter addresses that issue nicely, being the size of a standard two-prong plug.
I use this in places like entertainment systems where it is perpetually plugged in and fits on my power strip without covering outlets and interfering with other plugs.

Apple USB Power Adapter

Great Product....

Written by JF from Alamo

NOTE: Stop complaining about the price/cost and how inexpensive this gizmo is to make. It IS inexpensive to make, no question - but that ISN'T where the cost resides. The cost resides in the (likely) hundreds upon hundreds of hours a team of engineers spent trying to make the smallest and coolest looking charger possible.... and guess what, they did. If this were huge, heavy and "expensive feeling" you'd have no problem paying $30. Just because it's incredibly small/light - doesn't mean it costs less money to make (total cost) than a large charger. ALL plug in phone chargers are a rip off, and for them OEM brand are a similar (sometimes greater) cost. I'd rather pay the same $ for a much smaller product. This gizmo tells you "Hey... we thought about and sweated over EVERY single little detail possible on this product."

This is an incredibly neat little gizmo.... it's about the size of the rubber portion of a three pronged plug, so it's super compact, doesn't take up multiple slots on your power strip and is great for travel. What more could you reasonably want?

Great little adapter!

Written by PL from Manito

An overall great product. I love that it comes with a cable as it seems like so many devices don't these days. Having the extra USB cable is not only handy for charging it but has saved me a few other times as well when I've misplaced the one I generally use to sync my iPod Touch with my computer.
Size is a major plus on this, it can easily be tucked away for travel.

The only down side to me is probably the price. $29 just seems a bit high for a power adapter considering you can get another brand cheaper but I like to stick with Apple products so it's worth it.
