What is the best power adapter for the iPhone 6 Plus in Myanmar?

If you are travelling to more than one country or bringing more than your iPhone 6 Plus the best international travel charger for Myanmar to buy is a multiple USB charger which includes compatible plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. Myanmas use four different standards of wall outlets (types G, C, D and F) and bringing this ensures that you are covered for both types C and G. As these chargers are supplied with interchangeable plugs and handle 100 volts - 240 volts will mean you can travel to multiple countries in Asia, North America, Europe and Africa just by switching the supplied heads. If your model of iPhone 6 Plus is compatible with Fast Charge (not all USB devices do) then you'll benefit from faster recharging times with one of these types of USB power adapters, plus additional compatibility with certain power hungry devices like tablets. This will also allow you to power more than one device at the same time without needing to pack individual travel chargers on your Myanmar trip or occupying additional wall sockets. Because you are only bringing a single lightweight USB travel charger will help keep the size and weight down, making it perfect to fold up and store in hand baggage while travelling.
