For all you iPhone owners out there, make sure you replace your wall charger if it doesn’t have a “green dot” on the side where the charger plugs into the wall (see the picture below). Click here for recall details from Apple.

iPhone Wall Charger

I personally kept forgetting to do this until yesterday.

Getting it replaced is easy. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Take your iPhone + charger with you. No you don’t need to bring the cable with you.
2. Go to the Apple store nearest you. For those without an Apple store you can do it online by clicking here (then skip to step 5).
3. Go to the cash register in the Apple store.
4. Tell them you want to replace your recalled charger.
5. They will ask you for your iPhone serial number (Settings > General > About). If doing it online, then you will also need the last 4 digits of your iPhone’s IMEI number – it can be found in the same place you found the serial number. Note, I have not done it online, so this is as far as I can take you!
6. That’s it!

Now that wasn’t too hard was it? Pass the message on to any of your friends who are as lazy as me!
