Where are the broken iPhone power adapters?
When news of the iPhone power adapter broke, I immediately thought of two things: 1. Free adapter (http://sumocats.blogspot.com/2008/09/free-iphone-3g-power-adapter.html) (though I am reconsidering now that I see their ridiculously simple and easily duplicated method of marking new ones) and 2. Why hasn't anyone blogged about their broken adapters?It seems like every other isolated experience anyone has with their iPhone hits the Internet first and then prompts Apple to react. The adapter recall, however, seems to have been unprompted. Even now, after the recall was announced, I can't find one complaint or photo of a broken adapter. Strikes me as terribly odd, particularly since it only affects people with cameras and Internet access on their phones.
Update! My diligence has paid off. (http://sumocats.blogspot.com/2008/09/photo-of-broken-iphone-power-adapter.html) I found one photo of an iPhone AC adapter that is broken (http://twinkle.tapulous.com/index.php?id=1197978) as described in the recall. No details, but if I were prone to speculation (and I am), I would guess that this guy kicked off the recall, He exchanged his iPhone (presumably with broken adapter) four weeks ago. That's enough time for the adapter to go back to the lab for analysis and determine the flaw is recall-worthy.
Mystery solved, but still seems a bit odd this guy hadn't come forward to say it happened to him. Also a bit sad that none of the big blogs dug up this photo. Too busy trying to make the loudest echo?
