Reports are filtering in that iPhone 3G owners are receiving their replacement USB power adapters before the Apple-announced shipping date of October 10, 2008. The updated adapter look the same expect sport a green circle on the metal prongs side to differentiate from the recalled versions. Hopefully, this version’s metal prongs will not break off in outlets, causing obvious safety concerns. 

Still haven’t ordered your iP3G power replacement adapter yet? Head over to Apple’s website or wonder into an Apple store with your phone and recalled power adapter for a free, hopefully less dangerous model.
