Apple still sells the power adapter, but it seemingly won\u2019t for much longer.<\/p>\n<p>The official <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MD810LL\/A\/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter\">Apple 5W USB Power Adapter<\/a> is still available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and a few other countries. It has remained nearly identical since it was first included with the iPhone 3G in 2008, with a single USB Type-A port and a maximum charging speed of 5W. That\u2019s much slower than the 15W charging speed that modern iPhones can handle. It\u2019s priced at $19 in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><em>MacRumors<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Mac Otakara<\/em>\u00a0report the 5W charger is currently sold out in Apple\u2019s online stores in Australia, Japan, France, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, Spain China, and other countries. It seems like the company is slowly phasing it out, as the last remaining stock runs out in each country. Apple still sells a larger <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MGN03AM\/A\/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter\">12W power adapter<\/a> with the same USB Type-A connector, alongside <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/us\/search\/Power-Adapters?src=alp\">many wall chargers<\/a> with USB Type-C ports and higher power outputs. Most recently, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/121287\/apple-35w-dual-usb-c-compact-power-adapter-review\/\">Apple released a dual-port 35W charger<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even though faster USB chargers are widely available, slower adapters like the 5W model are still used by some to avoid excessive wear and tear on smartphone batteries. Even though modern smartphones are designed to avoid overheating or wearing out the battery when charging, and usually have software features to limit the maximum battery level or charging speed, using a slower power adapter for overnight charging can still be beneficial for long-term battery health.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, if you want to continue charging your devices at slower speeds, there are many other options than Apple\u2019s decade-old $20 charger.
