Apple world travel adapter kit been updated yet?

[emilioestevez]

I went to Apple.com to check out the world travel adapter kit (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD837AM/A/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit) for my iPhone and MBP when I noticed this little nugget in the bottom margin: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/201...pters-World-Travel-Adapter-Kit-Customers.html

Worth the gamble or should I just buy a converter overseas?

The adapter kit works great, but if you are only going to a country with one plug variation it's overkill. Buy an adapter at the local hardware store. In many countries you won't even need one in the hotel any more.

Either it has been updated (which would be my guess), in which case you're fine, or it hasn't been, in which case you can walk into any Apple Store or AASP and have the affected plug(s) exchanged on the spot.

There's no gamble.

I had to get my adapters updated through phone support as none of the area Apple stores carried replacement parts. Apple shipped them out free of charge and let me simply throw away the bad ones however.

Well considering they DID a recall and it was 5 Months ago I doubt they are still selling the old versions...... I mean doesn't take much to assume this.

I bought a kit about 6 weeks ago and it has the new connectors.
