Charging my iPhone in a different country
I will be traveling to South Africa and will be taking my iphone and ipad with me. For what itʻs worth I will also be taking my MBP.
I have the adapter so I can plug my MBP into the wall to charge it up. I am assured that the computer is modulated for use in any country and using the adapter will not fry it to kingdom come.
Here is my question:
I found this device: http://us.kensington.com/html/13926.html (Kensington Travel Plug Adapter). It will allow me to plug my USB devices into any wall outlet for charging.
While the packaging doesnʻt specifically say that itʻs good for use in South Africa, Kensington Tech Support says that if the prongs line up, itʻs usable. (I read somewhere that SA uses the same wiring as some European countries...I just canʻt remember which ones.)
What I am concerned about, however, is whether using the device will fry my iphone/ipad. Are these Apple devices modulated for use in other countries? The Kensington device is an adapter only, it will not convert nor modulate the power coming from the wall outlet.
Or am I just safer plugging both into my computer for recharging?
