RE: What is the plug that you plug your charger into called?

2015-12-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Hi Lelia,

Strictly speaking the cable whether the old 30-Pin used with the iPhone 4S and 
earlier or the Lightning cable which started with the iPhone 5 is not a 
"charger". It is simply the Lightning Cable or USB to Lightning cable. The 
small square piece the USB end of the cable plugs in to is called the wall 
adapter or power adapter. As Mike pointed out, you can use pretty much most 
power/wall adapters with the iPhone although for the iPad you should make sure 
it's a 2.1 Amp adapter since a 1 Amp adapter won't charge it or at least only 
very slowly. It doesn't matter if you use a 2.1 Amp adapter with the iPhone, it 
will only draw as much current as needed.

I also very much like the Anker 2-port or 4-port adapters you can buy, you plug 
them into an outlet and then you have 2 or 4 spots to plug in USB cables. I 
have a 2-port adapter plugged in behind the bed and this way both my wife and I 
can have a Lightning cable on each side table to charge our phones at the same 
time.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hello, I know this might be a weird question, but you know how you have your 
iPhone charger and you have that square size plug that you plug the charger 
into. What is it called so I know what to tell someone I need? Thanks. I have 
an iPhone 5s. And my husband has a six.

Apple tend not to like generic chargers,  it knows it's not one of apples, and 
phone can get quite shirty about it. Ok,  it 
certainly can for the leads,  and non-native adapters have given issues too.

I would ask for a USB charger, most of these are universal so any charger will 
probably work. Of course, the plug that goes in to 
the iphone is nonstandard, but that's not on the outlet end. Or, you might ask 
for a USB wall charger, that should definitely work.

You could both use the same A/C adapter, the one for the 6 would certainly 
power the 5 well enough. An a/c adapter, also called a 
wall charger is the bit you plug the phone lead into, and the thing you plug 
into the wall outlet.
