Some countries around the world are no longer able to purchase Apple's slowest charging device.

The 5W charge is currently sold out on the Apple website in Japan. Apple's online store in Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, China, and several other countries sold out or completely removed the charging station.

In the US, as well as in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Singapore, and some other countries, Apple sells the 5W charge for $19.

Due to two voluntary safety recalls issued by Apple, the 5W charger for the iPhone 3G and 11 received a few minor changes over the years. The 5W charger is not capable of fast charging, unlike Apple's newerusb-c.

Apple didn't include a charger in the box for the newer models of the phone.
