    Quality, 100% authentic Apple power adapter!

    Quality, 100% authentic Apple power adapter!
    I purchased this the Apple 12W USB Power Adapter directly from Amazon.com (not from any third party seller) and the item I received is an official Apple product. The charger is very well made, and it works as well as any other Apple power adapter I've owned (though a bit better, as my previous one, included with my iPad, is only 10W).I've included some detailed pictures of the product and packaging to help any people who are concerned that they may have received a "fake" product. The adapter arrives in a sturdy cardboard box with a plastic pull tab featuring an orange arrow. I've also included photos of the box's contents, as well as the information printed on the actual adapter (as checking accuracy of this information is often the best way to tell a counterfeit product).If there are any additional concerns, Apple actually has a page on their site with detailed pictures of all of their different power adapters and how to identify that yours is an authentic Apple product. I can't include a non-Amazon URL, unfortunately, but you can easily reach this page with a Google Search of "About Apple USB Power Adapters."Please buy only AUTHENTIC products when it comes to things like power adapters. I know most people don't like to spend so much on an adapter, and there's others who like to buy into the whole "Everything Apple is overpriced" mentality. Unfortunately, when it comes to a device that can potentially start fires, this isn't really something to take a chance with. If something does happen with the charger or because of the charger, you definitely want there to be a large multinational company to take responsibility and not some made-up brand based out of a warehouse in China. Third-party chargers can be UNSAFE, are generally very poorly made, and often do not even charge anywhere close to the claimed output.
    Thank you for your feedback

    5.0 out of 5 stars Seems to be (IT IS) genuine! Great quality and well built
    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014
    Everything about this adapter looks genuine to me. The small package in which it comes looks well made, and it even had a safety seal; The user's manual and the Apple warranty information; And the adapter itself looks really nice quality, properly assembled and looks resistant.

    About the adapter:
    - Model: A1401
    - Compact design, approximately 45 mm wide, 45 mm long and 28 mm in height (good or bad depending on the user)
    - Glossy white surface
    - Input: 100-240V, 0.5A, 50-60 Hz
    - Output: 5.2V - 2.4A
    - Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China

    The adapter is smaller than I imagined, which is a good thing in my opinion. The only Apple device I currently own is a 4th Gen iPod Touch, and it works perfectly with this adapter.

    Plugs can be exposed or hidden with a 90º turn.

    Using it with a 4th Gen Apple iPod Touch, and no problems so far.

    Giving it 4 stars so far because I started using it today. I'll this review in some time (weeks, maybe), and I'll upload a video for all those who might find it useful.

    Reviewed in Canada on November 22, 2020
    I received my adapter a couple days ago. There are some reviews on here where buyers felt they received a knock off version of the adapter but mine appears to be authentic and works just fine and fast. I’m not going to complain about the packaging, the product arrived quickly and not damaged and that’s all that mattered.
