I just received my iPhone5  64GB  Black  and to my dismay, there's no adapter included in the box.   The new earbuds look cool, but I thought they were going to include an adapter in the box.  

Cool phone... very light... but still disappointed about the adapter....

When the Iphone 5 was launched it was made known that an adapter was NOT going to be included. That's something that angered a lot of people. You have to buy one as an accessory.

Not when they can charge $29 per adapter.  Apple is great at making phones AND money.

Are we talking about the charging cord here?

If you are talking about the 30-pin to lightning adapter then it was clear that this would not be included with the phone. I think Apple direct had a small confusion on their site but that was quickly corrected.

It just comes with a usb to lighting adapter just like any other of apple products. Never came with a outlet to usb before I assume

So you are saying it comes with the cord, but not the usb outlet plug in?  Iphones have ALWAYS came with an outlet plugin before.  How in the blue **** can you sell a phone without including a working charger?

apple can make more money by forcing you to buy them

be thankful it has a usb on one end and will charge on a pc, and does nore require an adapter there too

It doesn't come with the adapter that you would connect to the outlet thus charging ur phone. It does how ever come with the usb to lighting which if you don't have a outlet adapter you can easily plug to a computer and charge it

Nevermind.  I just saw a picture of one in the box and it does come with everything you'd expect it to come with, including the outlet to usb plugin.

I got mine and it comes with the charging cord (Lightning end to male USB end) and a separate plug in adapter (female USB on one side with a plug in to an electrical outlet on the other side).   

What I was talking about was the adapter they're going to sell (for $30) which has the old 30pin female on one end and the new male lightning on the other.  That adapter would be used to connect the iPhone5 to an existing (charging) alarm clock/radio.   That's what I was hoping would be included.
