MicroUSB for Apple Devices

So in this video, you get to see my unboxing of Apple's MicroUSB Adapter, now on the box it says "iPhone", although this has been used and tested on the iPad 2, and iPod Touch 4th Gen
 by me, and a ton of other Apple Devices by other people.

Apple is selling this because the European Union says that every new phone being sold in the EU has to be able to charge and sync via MicroUSB, because the cables are really cheap to buy, has decently fast data transfer and almost every new phone on the planet has it. This is Apple's solution.

I bought it because my iPad charger broke, and I have a few MicroUSB cables, compared to the 1 apple charger I have.


How it works: You plug the 30-Pin dock connector side into your Device, and then attach a MicroUSB cable into the other side

Hopefully this was useful, or maybe enjoyable to watch (for the odd fellows out there).

You can get one of these for as little as £8 from any Apple Store in Europe/The EU, or if you prefer to order online then you can get it here

Just a few extra notes - people have been saying that it hasn't been syncing their iPhone 4S's, so if you are going to get one I'd highly recommend having a spare (and working) 30-Pin connector Cable (the default) as a spare, just in case this stops working/breaks/gets lost ETC.

If you can't access or buy this from America, or other parts of the world, then have a look on eBay, or ask someone you know from Europe to get one for you.

I hope this post was informative and useful. Please share it via one of the buttons below if it was.

Thanks!
