Traveling Turkey Istanbul

Hi! I’m traveling to Turkey Istanbul for vacation. I’m looking for a OEM Apple USB C dual charger that will work over there. I know Turkey use 220 versus the US 110. I know I will need Apple world travel kit. Can someone let me know what Apple brick to get to. That supports European watts over there. Plus will Apple adapter support that type of 220 watts does it self convert. The last thing I want is to burn out my Apple devices. Thank you Apple community for the help!!

You may want to have a look at the plug and outlet/socket types used in Turkey:

Please note that the World Travel Adapter Kit is used with some Apple power adapters only.

In some countries, a complete "duckhead" power cord set with a plug for grounded/earthed sockets may be available locally. One example:

If necessary, an alternative solution can be to buy separate plug adapters. If a power adapter/charger does not have the "duckhead" design, separate plug adapters are needed anyway.


It is good practice to double-check the mains voltage and frequency requirements before connecting anything in a foreign country. As Niel indicated, this is usually not a problem with modern Apple products, since they typically have an input voltage range 100-240 V AC at 50-60 Hz, but to be sure (and in order to rule out any local deviations), always read the label or text on the electrical device in question (a magnifying glass may be needed).


Also, please note the difference between volt (V, electric potential), ampere (A, electric current) and watt (W, power).

Thank you for the update.


According to the World plugs list (link above), a type C (Europlug) can be used in Turkey. This would correspond to the Continental Europe (EUR) plug in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit.


By the way, I assume that you mean the 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter, not the 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter. The latter appears to require a separate plug adapter.
