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.

What's the charging DC current output of this adapter? I think such info should have been included in the Product Information section!

Best Answer:The 12W adapter puts out 2.4A. The original 10W model put out 2.1A. I think they brought out this model, one with a little more juice, when the iPad 4 was introduced. It speeds up the charging a bit.

Answer
In the UK the 12W USB Power Adaptor is supplied with a 3 pin 13A plug head. In the US it is supplied with the equivalent US plug head. Conveniently the plug heads are removable. Also there is a Travel Kit of plug heads available for the Power Adaptor that will fit many Countries.

The picture above only shows a power adapter, does it include the 3pin (uk plug) as well. Or do I have to purchase the Apple 5W USB Power Adapter?
In the picture it only shows the big bulk thing does that just make it charge faster or does it include a uk plug (3pin) inside that I cant plug directly in the wall?
AnswerYes it comes with the Uk plug. If you select the second picture in the small box underneath the main picture you can see the earth pin and one other pin of a UK plug.
I have just purchased one from Apple shop in Crawley, West Sussex. (Note you do not get the USB to lightning cable). -

Answer
It will work in Ireland as the charger is 110-220v. It only comes with the charger part and you will need whatever connector cable goes with your iPhone 5 to plug into the charger.

Is this compatible for ipod 3 n can be use in the Philippines voltage 220?
- Asked by Cesarina L from Conway
- 26/11/2012
- Flag as inappropriate (Is this compatible for ipod 3 n can be use in the Philippines voltage 220?)
AnswerYes, 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.

Will this work with the iPhone 4?
This adaptor lists the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s. Will this work with the iPhone 4?

- Flag as inappropriate (Will this work with the iPhone 4?)
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).
