This isn’t the greatest of all possible news you could receive, but at least you can get a replacement component without too much hassle.
Apple has announced that the three-prong adapter used in the Hong Kong, Singapore, and U.K. versions of its World Travel Adapter kit “may break,” Apple having recalled the part.
To identify the recalled plug, Apple says that it is, “white, with no letters in the inside slot where it attaches to an Apple power adapter.” If you have a three-prong plug that is “white with gray on the inside portion that attaches to the power adapter,” you have the newer plug and you’re good.
Users can exchange the plug by contacting their local Apple Authorized Service Provider, or making a service appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store location. You’ll be able to exchange the old plug for a new one, free of charge.
If you exchange your World Travel Adapter kit and have any feedback to offer, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
