    I read somewhere that this program will be available in Ireland but no mention of it on the Apple Ireland website. Anyone know how it's going to work here?

    I'm guessing it’s via Apple Authorized Service Providers:

    It has the price listed for Ireland :)

    Any hope of a trade in on the iPhone 5 cables, there pure dirt even the genuine apple ones fall apart and get highly dangerous.

    I think this program is mainly for third party adapters. Apple usually replace official adapters that are fraying or potentially dangerous for free, even outside of warranty. Of course, getting an AASP over here to do this is another matter. But since it's an iPhone 5 it would still be in warranty, so you shouldn't have any problem getting a replacement.

    In was in touch with Compu B and they told me that they will be participating in this. They were just waiting on a start date from apple.

    As for the iPhone 5 cables. If you ring apple they will generally replace them, they did 2 for me recently. The replacements were the same so I don't expect them to last forever. In fact I bought 2 non genuine cables from a seller on adverts for a couple of euro and they're holding up well so far.

    Do you know if there is anyone around Drogheda, North Dublin participating in the exchange programme?

    I phoned Harvey Norman and Curry's to be told they weren't.

    thanks

    Just phoned CompuB - they've started now - bring in charger plus serial number of your idevice and they'll send it back to apple who will approve the replacement within a couple of days. Then just pay your tenner for a genuine charger. Cables are not covered :(
