[wraggster]

In response to recent reports of safety concerns (http://www.informationweek.com/mobility/smart-phones/apple-investigating-iphone-death-in-chin/240158255) around third-party chargers for iDevices, Apple announced today that beginning August 16, 2013, you can trade in your third-party adapter and purchase an official Apple charger at a 'special price' — $10 USD. From their website: 'To qualify, you must turn in at least one USB power adapter and bring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod (http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/) to an Apple Retail Store or participating Apple Authorized Service Provider for serial number validation. The special pricing on Apple USB power adapters is limited to one adapter for each iPhone, iPad, and iPod you own and is valid until October 18, 2013.'
