I believe the power requirements have actually jumped to 2.5A for the charger (~12.5W). I'd be surprised if the Apple 12W charger couldn't power one of these without issue for most use cases (2.4A, vs 2.5A reference charger).
I can't help but notice that the power supply description is incorrect on RS-online's site. They're saying 2A in the text, but then their own spec sheet says the power supplies are 2.5A [0]

- bootload 11y ago@Daneel_ heres some initial figures from pimoroni: "The built-in Wireless LAN and Bluetooth and the more powerful processor mean that the Raspberry Pi 3 draws about twice the current of its predecessor when under heavy CPU load (750mA vs 360mA)." ~ http://blog.pimoroni.com/raspberry-pi-3/ http://blog.pimoroni.com/raspberry-pi-3/
