Apple 5W USB Power Adapter Discontinued

 

Introduced in 2008, discontinued in 2020

The “5W USB power adapter” was included with the first generation iPhone in 2007, and in 2008, it was included with the iPhone 3GS and landed in Japan.
 
Power adapters with the same specifications were bundled with iPhones sold in Japan, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America.
 
In September 2008, the product was recalled due to the possibility that the metal plug part could come off and remain in the outlet, and a green sticker was affixed to the product that had been corrected.

With the 2019 iPhone11 Pro, the included power adapter has been changed to the “18W USB-C power adapter”. The iPhone 11 comes with a 5W USB power adapter as before.
 
Apple will stop including power adapters in all iPhone models in 2020.
 
The selling price of the “5W USB power adapter” was 2,200 yen (tax included), but when the price was revised in July 2022, the price was increased to 2,780 yen (tax included).
 
As Aiari commented, “Probably the most widely distributed charger in the world,” many Apple product users have many of these chargers.
