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.

Apple power adapters support voltages from 110 to 240 volts. All you should need is a plug adapter to plug your exiting Apple power brick into the New Zealand Wall sockets.

For third party power adapters consult their documentation to see if they support the NZ voltage and frequency.


Otherwise you would need a power converter.
