Apple's chargers are a lot better engineered than the cheap ones on Amazon. Ken Shiriff did a teardown of one.[0] However, he does point out the "Apple Tax" their chargers have: > Samsung sells a very similar cube charger for about $6-$10, which I also disassembled (and will write up details later). The Apple charger is higher quality and I estimate has about a dollar's worth of additional components inside. But it sells for $20 more.
