Apple To Exchange iPhone 3G Adapter
Announced late today by Apple, the ultracompact USB adapter that shipped with all iPhone 3Gs sold in the U.S., Japan, Canada, Mexico and several other countries in Latin America are being recalled – in the form of an exchange.
If you have a 3G, you can pick up an adapter at an Apple store or sign up online beginning October 10.
To date, only some 3G users have experienced prongs that become detached from the adapter, but Apple suggests that it is taking no chances and making this offer to all 3G users in the affected countries.
Ultimately, even though Apple calls this an exchange program, it is definitely a recall and should be heeded by 3G users.
Complete details on the recall process are available on the Apple website here.
