Bought the [Apple Lightning to Micro USB Adapter](http://store.apple.com/sg/product/MD820ZM/A/lightning-to-micro-usb-adapter) from Apple Online Store (Singapore) for **S$28**. Initially it was only available in Europe as in Europe if you are selling mobile phones, it has to come with Micro USB connectivity. But last Saturday, in a surprise move by Apple, they decided to make it available for all.

Previously, the [Apple 30-pin Connector to Micro USB Adapter](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2011/11/18/apple-iphone-micro-usb-adapter/) is only available in Europe and still is.

I love the size of this adapter, in fact I think it is more worth it to get this than the [Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2012/10/16/apple-lightning-to-30-pin-adapter/) as the later cost S$14 more and furthermore Micro USB cables are more universally compatible with devices.
