I have an IPhone 7 Model A1660. I am traveling to Europe. Do I need a converter, or will it take 240 volts?

Your charger will handle 100-240 volts, so a power converter is not needed.


All that you need is a wall plug adapter so the U.S. plug will work with the European wall plug.


Most of Europe uses what is known as an F plug. It looks like this:



Amazon has them, or you can pay about 3 times as much at the airport shops


Italy is different, if you are going to Italy, you need an L plug.



You will likely need 3-4 adapters for the phones, razor, hair dryer, laptop, etc.


Most major hotels that cater to American travelers will usually have adapters as well.


Apple offers a "Worldwide" Travel Kit with various adapters to use all over the world. The problem.....you only get one adapter for the country that you need. The other adapters go unused.
