well at the vary least we all can prove the USB cord can be a prob and apple should look into it.. And if everyone puts pix up maybe it will be seen by some big wig apple person :) I hope that no one gets shocked to death or burned bad.... Fun times
 
If that happens, own fault, and I couldn't care less. They have been recalled so people should stop using them.

I knew that apple recalled the part you plug into the wall but I have not seen the recall for the USB cord... Am I missing something sir :p
 
Please don't even try this if you don't know what you're doing (like when I say, make sure that you've tripped the circuit breaker for those power lines first, if you don't know what I'm talking about, call an electrician). Of course it isn't hard to do, but it's also not hard for some idiot to electrocute her or himself.

Agreed. Or in this case just unplug the power strip and all devices plugged into it. Even with all that I would still use insulated tools or take it to a genius.
 
So there was mass coverage on how this was unsafe to use... yet you kept using it.

Incredible. :)
 
I'm willing to be that 90% of the people on this forum are still using the defective plug, myself included.
 
when does the new charger come out?? :confused:

Mine arrived today.

Now I just have to find a DHL dropbox somewhere to send back the old one. You'd think considering how cheap these things are, Apple wouldn't want the old one back. Probably costs more to ship it....especially if they're just going to throw them away.
