Battery charger compatibility

[angeliq]

I had the 4s and upgrade now tote 5s, my wife and daughter have the 5... Can I charge my 5s with the charger of the 4s (I have two chargers, one at home and one in office) by only plug in the cable? Or using the charger of the 5? Are the chargers compatible?

The 4S chargers use a 30 pin connector... and are not compatible w/ the 5, 5C, & 5S w/o an adapter. The iP5 "Lightning" connector will work just fine w/ the 5C & 5S.

While the USB charging cables are not compatible, the chargers themselves are interchangeable.

Yes of course... didn't think to add that. The AC charger box that plugs into the wall is compatible with all USB cords.

Thanks scifan57. That's what I mean... I can therefore use the 4s and 5 charger with the cable of the 5s? Even using the 5 cable for the 5s? If I just buy a cable for the office I can use the chargers...thanks.....
