World Travel Adapter Kit

Hello, just purchased this. I am travelling to the United States.


I'm wondering if I can use the Mainland China adapter in United States sockets as well, I have multiple charging bricks for various devices (Iphone, ipad, charge deck etc.)

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

First of all, please note that the World Travel Adapter Kit is used with some Apple power adapters only.

Regarding your question, you may want to have a look at the description of plug type A here (select United States and/or China) about a certain difference:

If necessary, an alternative solution could possibly be to buy separate plug adapters locally.


As always, read the label on any electrical equipment that you are going to use in a foreign country. Make sure that the equipment in question can work with the line/mains voltage and frequency.

The Apple Kit is nice, but you really only get 1 adapter that will work in the country that you are visiting. Most of us need 3-4 adapter when traveling for the phone, laptop, razor, hair dryer, etc.


The adapter that you ask about for China might work......but it has no ground connection.


For about $8 U.S. you can get 4 adapters that will adapt the European standard plugs to U.S.

I cannot say how well your current adapters would work if the plugs are all wobbly at this time.
