Separation Anxiety
On Friday, September 19, Apple announced the Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program. Yep, that’s a mouth full. Basically, the cute little power adapter which charges the iPhone (pictured below) has a nasty tendency to leave its prongs in the electrical outlet. Not good. Bad Ulatracompact USB Power Adapter! Don’t do that anymore!
Apple will begin exchanging these faulty adapters on Friday, October 10 with adapters that look exactly the same except for a green dot.
The green dot signifies the awesomeness of this adapter. It is superior. It is…dotted green. My guess is the prongs are reinforced and won’t spontaneously escape from the adapter’s main housing.
Apple recommends all iPhone 3G users who have an adapter sans green dot to stop using the faulty adapter until an exchange can be made. Instead, users are encouraged to charge their iPhone via the USB port on their computer. More details can be found at the link in the beginning of the post.
