Short answer: yes, but not directly in a Dutch socket. The Apple 20W USB-C charger with US plug is an original Apple power adapter, but the pins are made for American sockets. The product page says so itself: for a socket of the type used in the Netherlands you need an adapter plug or travel plug.
Who is this a good fit for, and who isn't it?
This version makes sense if you travel to the United States or use sockets there, or if you want an original Apple 20W adapter and already have an adapter plug or travel plug at home. If you want to simply plug it into the wall at home in the Netherlands, this isn't the easiest choice: the US pins don't fit a Dutch socket, so you need an adapter plug or travel plug first. We don't stock that US-to-EU adapter plug ourselves, so keep that in mind before you order.
What exactly do you get?
According to the product page, this is an original Apple USB-C power adapter with a power output of 20W, not a universal or imitation adapter. The adapter has a USB-C port and a US plug, and is supplied without the original packaging: the product arrives loose, not in Apple's box. That doesn't change anything about the charger itself, you just miss out on the retail packaging. Since no cable is included, you decide for yourself which cable you need with it; more on that below. The page doesn't mention a voltage range or charging times, so we deliberately leave those out here: we stick to what the product page demonstrably states.
Which cable do you need with it?
The adapter has a USB-C port and no cable is included. You choose the cable that fits your device yourself. If you have an iPhone with a Lightning connector, that's a Apple USB-C to Lightning cable, 1 metre. If your device has a USB-C port (such as a recent iPhone, iPad or Android phone), you use a Apple USB-C to USB-C cable, 1 metre. Both cables are 100 cm long.
| Your device | Cable |
|---|---|
| iPhone with Lightning | USB-C to Lightning, 1 metre |
| iPhone 15 or 16, iPad or Android with USB-C | USB-C to USB-C, 1 metre |
