230v Adapter?

I am going to New Zealand. What type of adapter should I use to charge my iPhone particularly if I cannot find a USB port?

iPhone 12, iOS 17

You won't need a voltage converter, but you will need some wall plug adapters.

New Zealand uses what is known as a Type I plug. The adapter will look something like this:

Purchase enough adapters to handle the iPhones, iPads, laptops, hairdryer, razor etc.

Amazon has them, or you can pay 3 times as much at the Airport shops.

The Apple Travel Kit is nice (and expensive), but the downside is that you really only get 1 adapter that will work correctly for the country that you visit. You can buy 5-6 adapters for about half of the cost of the Apple Kit.
