A detachable wire would violate Apple's aesthetic; thus, you can't detach it. You answer your own question.
Does Apple not replace that for free like they do the iPhone/iPod chargers?

- jonhendry 15y agoIt's not that subtle. Just don't try to wrap it really tight, which would put a constant strain on the wire where it enters the brick that would last until you completely unwind the cord again. Frankly, everything in that document just looks like common sense.
- runaway 15y agoThe part that goes to the wall is detachable. What about making the other side detachable violates the aesthetic? Or am I thinking of something else?
