Replacement 3G iPhone Adapters Arriving
About three weeks ago, we reported that Apple had issued a recall on the small form-factor USB wall charger that was included with the iPhone 3G. Apparently there was a slim chance that the prongs could break off in the outlet, and Apple didn’t want to be liable for you sticking a fork into the outlet to fish those little metal bits out. Probably not a bad idea…
I registered through Apple’s web form for my replacement unit. (Because Heaven knows, I’m always looking for any reason to stick metal into a hot outlet.) Not expecting anything until around October 10th, based on Apple’s information, I received a call from my wife yesterday, wondering what I’d ordered now. I’m not sure where that finger pointing comes from, honest! Well it turns out Apple’s running ahead of schedule by a few days, and my new adapter is keeping me safe from myself and charging my iPhone all at the same time.
If you’ve got the original 3G iPhone USB adapter and haven’t replaced it yet, get over to Apple’s online form, or a Genius Bar at your local Apple Store, post haste.
