FAQs

Can I charge my iPhone on a 220v outlet? ›

Yes. Be sure to use Apple chargers and they are marked with the acceptable voltage ratings. You will not need a voltage converter if you are using one of the Apple Chargers.

Apple USB power adapters are designed for use with power sources rated to provide 100V AC to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz.

If you use an Apple Charger, you just need a plug adapter to connect to the sockets in Europe. Apple chargers support universal voltages fro 100 to 240. If using a 3rd party charger make sure it supports the European voltage and just get a plug adapter.

If you plug a single-voltage device into a higher-voltage electrical system, then you risk permanently damaging the device, and perhaps even electrocuting yourself. Remember: Never use an adapter to plug in your device unless you're sure that it's compatible with the voltage used in the country you're visiting.

It depends on the design of the charger. More sophisticated chargers have an input range from say 100 V to 240 V AC. They can be plugged into either 120V or 220V sockets. On the other hand chargers only designed for say 110 V or 120V AC will be damaged if plugged into a 220V socket.

If the Input say 110-220 or around that you should be fine with just a plug adapter. For example, the iPhone plug in chargers all handle up to 220 no problem.

While it's essential to match the voltage between the charger and the device, it doesn't matter if the power supply or charger can provide more current then the device requires. However, providing less current will prevent charging or slow it down.

If you use a third-party power adapter, it should meet these recommended specifications: Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz, single phase. Line Voltage: 100 to 240 VAC.

Use the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit

To charge your device, attach the correct AC plug adapter to your device's power supply. The Apple World Travel Adapter Kit works with any Apple USB, USB-C, or MagSafe power adapter that has a removable AC wall adapter (also known as a duckhead).

Apple products, such as your iPhone, iPad and laptop, are dual voltage, therefore you do not need a converter to use your Apple device anywhere in the world. You can tell if you if your electronic device is dual voltage by looking on the voltage rating on the device.

What voltage are Apple iPhone chargers? ›

Apple 5W USB power adapter specifications: Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz, single phase. Line voltage: 100 to 240 V. Output power: 5V/1A.

If your appliance can only run on 110 – 130 volts, you will need to use a converter. If, however, your appliance is dual voltage you will not need to use a converter. Dual voltage appliances require only a plug adapter and can then be plugged directly into any foreign outlet.

If you're planning on traveling to Europe, you may wonder whether you can use your iPhone once you're there. The short answer is: Yes, you can!

220-volt outlets are the most powerful plugs that you'll find in most residential homes around the United States. These plugs are meant for ovens, dryers and other high-powered appliances that you simply can't power with a standard 110V outlet.

However, you may need a plug adapter to plug them in to the outlets abroad. Now, if the voltage rating states 110V or 120V it means that your product is only single voltage and it will require a step down converter/transformer for use in 220V countries abroad.

Apple 18W USB-C power adapter specifications: Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz, single phase. Line voltage: 100 to 240 V. Output power: 5V/3A or 9V/2A.

Yes, your watch will be fine. No power converter is required. Apple's chargers run on any voltage from 100 to 240 volts, so 220 is not a problem. Any of these adapters can also be used with a travel adapter in a different country.
