Do I need a converter to charge iPhone and iPad in South Africa?

I know there is no issue charging my IPhone 15 and my iPad Air without a converter in Europe where the voltage is 220. BUT the voltage in South Africa is 230 volts. Do I need a converter there? Thanks!

All Apple iPad USB power adapters are designed for use with power sources rated to provide 100V AC to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz. Apple iPad USB power adapters also comply with the IEC/UL 60950-1 and IEC/UL 62368-1 standards for use with power sources rated to provide 115V AC at 400Hz (typically found onboard commercial airlines).


While your Power Adapter will be fully usable when travelling internationally, you may require a simple pin-adapter to allow the Power Adapter to be used with AC power outlets in different countries. Travel adapters are readily available.
