Answer
You will see a significant difference in charging time of your iPhone 5S with the 12W adapter versus the 5W adapter. For me charging my iPhone 5S using the 10W adapter takes it from 20% of battery to almost full 95%-98% within 30-45 minutes, using the 5W adapter that came with my phone nearly doubles the charging time.

Can I use the 12W Power Adapter to charge two or more devices at once using a hub?
I would love to hook a USB hub up to my Apple 12W power adapter and charge two or more Apple devices at once. Is this possible? If so, does it have to be a specific hub?

AnswerNo, the USB Hubs are really intended for data not for charging! However, there are (mostly not Apple Certified) chargers from third party brands having dal (or even up to four) USB charger ports.

How many milliamps is this rated for?
How many milliamps is this rated for? I want to use my optical drive hooked up to a 7-port USB 3.0 hub because I always use a MB Pro on my lap and a 1000ma wall wart is not enough to make my Apple DVD/CD burner operate.

- 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).

Are the iPod adapters somehow grounded, not adding noise to the signal/iPod?
Hello!
I have a Q about the iPod adapters. Do they add noise when connected to the mains. I am a sound-engineer and I use...want to only use iPod Touch 4 32gb to play selected music using professional audio monitors in a pro environment.. etc, but the adapter I use now (not original) adds noise to the signal, despite there are many filters applied to the electricity chain. I need that iPod all the time connected to the mains and I was wondering if the original apple adapters are somehow grounded...not adding noise to the audio signal?
I really need that clean audio signal while my iPod is always connected the the mains via adapter. Any options for moded/handmade adapters are welcome too, lol : )
Thank you in advance!

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). -
