Apple introduces USB power adaptor trade-in programme

Apple is offering a trade-in programme for owners of third-party iPhone, iPod and iPad chargers. They can hand them in and get the official Apple version for US$10 (S$12.60) each.

The programme starts on Friday worldwide at all Apple retail stores and authorised retailers. Users must bring their iOS devices for verification. Only one Apple charger will be issued for each iOS device.

What do they mean by 3rd party? It must look like original but so call "fake" ODM or OEM? Or can it be any 3 pin USB power plug?

Ok guys (and gals). I went about the entire procedure earlier today.

Place: QCD Singapore = Funan level 5

Shown them the 3rd party charger: can change charger body only if you wish.

Take a closer look at your charger - it has a plug to socket, a body (w usb hole/s) and the cord. U can choose to keep the power plug head... (if yours is the separate-able type)... and no need to give them the cord.

Bring along any ipod iphone or ipad for registration. I bought a ipod to change for a ipad charger (body)

Was told... $18 (my goodness... disputed with them why so expensive, thought it's USD 10 bah bah bah...) for the exchange. they will keep the old one. BUTTTT... here's the catch... it comes with 3 months warranty AND you CANNOT get the replacement on the spot.

Can get it 3 days later only as they do not keep stock for replacement... ---> Means have to come to come back again, take the Q... wait and wait for this small thing?

The whole process... ding dong ding dong... 30 mins+

So... went next door shop NUBOX or something to check...
the same original apple charger body thingy - 2.1A type for ipad selling for $28, 1 year warranty.

So... you decide whether you can go through these hassles for the whole process. :s22:
