For most people, size isn't a top concern when shopping for an Apple car charger. However, it can make a difference. That's especially true in small vehicles with very compact interiors. The majority of car chargers for Apple products are streamlined and small, but some of them poke out of the dashboard a lot more than others. There are chargers that are designed to be essentially flush with the dashboard. They not only take up less space, but they create a neater look. Those who want to keep things as minimalistic as possible should stick with streamlined Apple car chargers like these.

Some Apple car chargers come with cables, and some don't. The correct solution largely depends on whether the charger will strictly be used for Apple products like iPhones and iPods or if it will also be used to charge Android devices and other mobile devices. Another consideration to make is whether or not to get a charger with an attached cable. Some of these chargers come with removable cables, which is convenient because it's easy to replace a broken cable. Most people opt for Apple car chargers without cables or with removable cables.

Nothing is more aggravating than being uncertain about whether or not a car charger is actually working. Having to continually peek at an iPhone or iPad to ensure that it's charging is frustrating. The vast majority of car chargers for these products include indicator lights that clearly show whether or not power is being deliver to them. If no light appears, it is safe to assume that power is not being delivered to the charger and therefore won't be delivered to the phone or tablet.

Many people are content with car chargers that have one port. Those who own several Apple products, however, may be better off with chargers that have dual ports. This is also convenient for people who often travel together who each have Apple devices they need to charge while on the road. Instead of tying up more than one power outlet, a person can plug in a single, dual-port charger and keep two devices charged at one time. The ports on some chargers offer different levels of power that meet the requirements...
