Hi Keith,
I can't say for the iPhone 5, but I heard before people said the iPhone 4 and 4S wall adapters also had a chip and you could not use a generic USB wall adapter. I have not at all found that. I have at least 4 different USB wall adapters which came with various devices such as the Jambox, another Bluetooth headset I bought and I even have a travel extention block which has a short, 1-foot power cable, 2 regular power plug-ins and 2 USB plugs and all of them work to charge my 4S. If you have an iPhone 5 or an iPad, just take that wall plug and it will do everything. The iPad one if you have one is preferred because it delivers more power and will charge your iPhone faster.

Hi, Packing for a trip, and I find myself with at least 3 different charging cords for different devices, but they all have a USB wall jack. Are these USB wall jacks "one size fits all"? I seem to recall someone on this list once mentioning that in the new lightning plug for iPhone 5, that there was a chip in the wall plug and it may not work, or may not work well or safely, with a "wrong" device. Appreciate any info. Hoping to travel as lite as possible. Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
