Is this one same as the old one, while the old one includes the old 30 pin cable?

Best Answer
The old one included an Apple power cord (6 feet). That seems to be missing from the 12W version's "What's in the Box" section.

will this adapter work with both the ipad2 and iphone5

Best Answer
Yes. You will need a different cable for each as the iPhone 5 uses the new lighting connector, and the iPad 2 uses the old 30 pin dock connector. Both cables came with you iPhone 5, and iPad 2 respectively, and both are compatible with this charger.

Is this compatible for ipod 3 n can be use in the Philippines voltage 220?
- Asked by Cesarina L from Conway

Answer
Yes, Apple chargers are capable to use in outlets that have a voltage output of 110-220volts. Yes, we are travelling to the Philippines in 2 days and I know for a fact that they work there. The only caution would be of the outlet in the wall takes that old style round pin plugs. Then you would have to buy a cheap convertor piece that is 2 round pins and then THIS POWER ADAPTER would plug into it. So buy this first, then go to electronics store to find what will work. It is really very easy because this is only 2 prong without a third for ground. Bottom line, it will work in the Philippines.

Best Answer
Yes, but you will need a separate 30-pin to USB cable. It's the cable that came with your phone, but you don't get an extra one with this charger (which you do with other Apple chargers that sell for $29).

Answer
The product is delivered with the correct 'duck head' adapter (plug) for the region the store sells to. If you order it from the France Apple Store, you will get the Euro round pins plug; if you order from the UK Apple Store you will get the UK rectangular pins plug. If you need a 'duck head' for another region, you will need to buy the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit in addition.

Will this adapter work with the 1st generation iPad?
The first gen iPad is not listed in the overview as being a compatible device, which suggests it will not, but why? It's still a 5V USB charger. Why wouldn't it work?

Best Answer
Yes it will. Apple now show a HCL (hardware compatibility list), which list the original iPad as compatible. The functional difference between this one and the one included with older iPads and iPhones is a higher wattage rating, which should charge your device slightly quicker.

If I use the plug/cord from an older 10W power adapter with this 12W adapter, will it still charge at 12W? They do fit (same connection).
I want to use the cord from the 10W adapter I had with my iPad 3 with the new 12W adapter I got with my iPad 4. I assume all the electronics that make it 12W are in the main body of the power adapter, not in the small section that slides onto it. The main parts of the adapters are the only parts that say anything about 10W or 12W. I noticed the little slide-on plug sections all say "2.5A 125V" regardless of when they were made, the one from my iPad 1 says the same thing as the one from my iPad 4. So I'm 99% sure I can connect the 12W adapter to an older cable or older plug and it won't make a difference and will still charge at 12W. I just want to have this confirmed.

Answer
In short, yes. This is still a 110v/220v 50/60 Hz AC to 5.1v DC through a USB port. Old apple USB cables can be used on the USB end and old AC connectors and cables can be used on the AC end. It functions the same as the 10W adapter, just has slightly more powerful (and possibly more efficient) electronic components than the 10w adapter. BTW, most devices have charge limiting circuitry built-in to stop overcharging and only use the maximum safe amperage to charge no matter how much amperage is available. One could build a 40W USB charger that may not use more than 12W of power when connected to the new iPad. I have yet to determine the maximum amperage allowed in the charging circuit of apples devices. (They do send different voltages to the devices using the data pins in the USB port to determine the type of charger that is powering the device.)
