Oh, I thought that was what the green dot was.
It looked like an LED to let you know how much charge the phone has. Red for charging/empty, and green when it becomes fully charged. That would be a nice feature because when you look on the phone all you see is the lightning bolt and that doesn't tell you how charged it is.
What is the green dot for then? Just wondering.

From the front page:

The iPhone already clearly shows how much charge is completed and how much is remaining.
The green dot is just a mark to indicate that it is one of the new plugs and not one of the old plugs.
Two problems with this. First off, the replacement is free - no money involved. Second, if you have the problem, you won't die. Unless you are extremely stupid and touch the prong after it's sticking out of the socket. If it happens to you, just shut off the power in the room the outlet is in and then remove the prong, preferrably using something insulated just in case.
Unrelated, but lol @ your signature. And did you buy the new nano? What do you think of it?

It looks like a good 20% of people aren't exactly going to just run over to the Apple Store and get a new plug. "If it ain't broken yet, then it don't need fixin!"
Thank you.

I'll keep mine. Its plugged in and I never unplug it anyways, so I'm not worried about a prong falling off.
I received a text message through AT&T today informing me of the recall with a link to order the new adapter. I had already signed up for the replacement adapter anyway, but I thought it was pretty cool that Apple & AT&T got the word out to everyday iPhone users that don't look at this site.
When did you receive a text message?
I have not received a text message from Apple yet about the AC adapter.
It's so easy to exchange and it's free... Why not?
Simple enough.
- Fill out form
- Recieve new product
- Put old one in free envelope and send
- Shower
- Enjoy
Simple enough.
I will use it till breaks then suewhen i get injured removing the prong from the wall outlet. I'm sure there is a lawyer willing to take that case on
You can't after they issued a recall and since they informed you

WHOA !!! Stop a second and think about what you just said. This just made history. In the past, when a company recalled a product they would notify the news media to spread the word on television, and the company would purchase ads in magazines and newspapers to notify the public of the recall, and they would hope everyone was made aware. For bigger ticket items, where they had your name and address on file, they would mail you a letter. APPLE JUST SENT EVERYONE A TEXT MESSAGE, INFORMING OF THE RECALL ! It only took them a second to push the majic button, and inform everyone.
(technically, they sent out several mass messages throughout the day, but you get the point)
(we should bribe some kid that works for AT&T to send a hoax message that says "Big Brother Is Watching You." LMAO!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!)
