I agree with the anti-Apple sentiments in general, but I have yet to find a better charger than the Apple one.

Which charger would you rather carry in your pocket: ?

Cheap copies of the Apple charger exist, but they're (probably) all electrically much noisier than the original, messing with capacitive touchscreens. Good quality chargers certainly exist, but they're all physically larger than the Apple charger. As far as I know, I'd like to be proven (!) wrong.

Kangal, sorry, I didn't mean to imply _you_ were being sarcastic ...

Here are some threads where people are having charger issues:

They may not explicitly mention Apple, but the problem people are having is that their chargers are Apple-compatible. And I did say "Apple or compatible".
