Universal adapters for serious travelers (an all-in-one solution)
Countries around the world use different plugs and sockets. And you won’t be able to charge your iPhone or other electronics if you don’t have the exact match. Moreover, buying an adapter every time you travel to a new country would eventually hurt the wallet. A lot! So, a wise decision is to invest in an excellent universal travel adapter. It boasts a wide range of permutations and combinations of plugs that will work across almost all major countries. Pro Tip: If you find a travel-friendly wall charger that sports multiple outlets, grab it and never let it go!
