your best friend's dog's half sister's neighbors cat makes computers bits and bytes cry from the useless waste of bandwidth for 5 months. $16,629 / $67= 248.19 hours per month. why did I waste 2 minutes typing this post?

Wow...19 bucks for an adapter...looks like Apple is tryin' to rip people off again.

Kindle Fire Replacement AC Adapter by Amazo, used from $22.59, I guess $19 is pretty good.

does it make my battery recharge cycle shorter as well?

I'm sorry can we just stop with the apple stuff, you don't do this kind of thing for anything other than apple products so why?

wow, revolutionary. it's like magic. retina display everything. everything except the mini of course. but that's ok because it's still revolutionary.

Well, here is the thing.

Just how much faster going from 10 watts to 12 watts in terms of charging power? Not much.

It's all marketing bull that people think it's fantastic. Geezez.

Ah well. Glad that we aren't forced to buy into such nonsense.

I'm just amazed that a new Apple charger is seriously considered news here. "OMG, Apple has a new charger. It's new! OMG. I can't believe it. It's 12W. The old one was 10W. So it's 2W betterer! OMG". And yes, I realize I didn't have to click on the story. But, seriously - a new charger is considered "news"? Seriously? Really?

RIPOFF.

20% faster charging? Could reduce charge time by over an hour from 6 hours to under 5? Any improvement is welcome.

"We don't have an exact percentage of how much faster it would charge but you should see an increase in speed,"...

So in other words, spend $20 to see what kind of charging speed increase you will see. I'm very surprised that Apple doesn't have any marketing ammunition for this device - probably because the speed is negligible.

No, it's just in line with their other marketing lines, "our device is the fastest", "our screen is the best" etc.
Always same stuff, not substantiated by any evidence and always negated later via benchmarks or direct comparisons. Remember their "retina" display thing? They keep dropping the PPI number and still call it a "retina" display, when just a bit ago anything that was below their initial number was too small to qualify.
This adapter probably shaves about 10 mins from the recharge time, so technically could be "faster". Truth is, they need to push their new chargers because people can not buy them from anywhere else now due to the integrated "security" chip.

Seriously-- have any people here *ever* bought an adapter or cable from one of the big electronics companies, or a big box store, or a wireless carrier, etc? Unless you are buying "knock-offs" on mono-price or eBay, that is just what they charge for these kinds of things.
