Various combinations of region codes and voltages can often be confusing when planning to stay in a new country especially for the first time traveller. These guidelines have been specifically written to prevent visitors worrying if they'll be able to power their iPhone 6 Plus when visiting abroad.When you are visiting Yemen the following useful instructions show how to charge the iPhone 6 Plus by using the types G, A or D Yemeni 230 volt 50Hz power outlets. You'll find power will change from region to region so we suggest reading the power supplies and Asia page for a full list of countries. When you are travelling to Yemen from another country make sure that the iPhone 6 Plus can be used with a 240 volt supply. If it came from a country which uses a lower voltage such as 120 volts check the iPhone 6 Plus is dual-voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) else you may need to use an additional transformer to prevent the device from overloading when powering up. If you plan to visit a place like Sana'a or Aden we recommend reading the wikipedia entry about Yemen [1] for more details.
