Apple’s slowest charger is out of stock or out of stock.
Apple discontinues 5W USB power adapter, an AC adapter with USB-A connection; this was pointed out by the Japanese blog Mac Otakara, since it was completely sold out in Apple’s online store in Japan.
While MacRumors confirms the news, it also adds that it is out of stock or directly removed from Apple online stores in other countriessuch as Germany, Australia, China, Europe, France, Italy and New Zealand.
Although this seems to be the end of the old charger, it is still available in Canada, the United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Singapore, for example. Although it is possible that this is due to the fact that the stocks are simply not sold out yet.
The validity of Apple’s 5W charger seems to be running out
It might surprise many to see Apple’s slower charger still available, because the first appearance of this adapter was with the release of the iPhone 3Gover 12 years ago, although it was included in the box until the iPhone 11.
And because it does not fully exploit the fast charging potential of current models, we can say that the worst charger for an iPhone of 2022 would be that of the company itself.
Although this old-school charger has received several improvements over time, particularly related to security improvements in some countries, the accessory could never live up to Apple’s recent USB-C chargers.
But it seems that Apple has taken this into account and has therefore started to let its Stock it’s over or gone and while Apple’s decision isn’t at all a surprise, what is, and is also somewhat curious, is that they’ve taken so long to get rid of this adapter.
