Charging the iPhone 4S when visiting Estonia
A guide showing how to power the iPhone 4S from an Estonian power outlet with the Apple 30-pin connector with a Type C power adapter and powering the iPhone 4S using a 2 pin Type F power adapter.

Various combinations of frequencies and standards can often be confusing when planning on staying in another country for the first time traveller. If visiting Estonia these instructions show powering the iPhone 4S by using their standard F or C type Estonian 230 volt 50Hz plug outlets. If you are visiting Estonia from another country make sure that the iPhone 4S can accept a 240 volt supply. If your iPhone 4S was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts double check the device is dual-voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power converter to stop the device from being damaged when charging it. These instructions assume that you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPhone 4S.

What is the best power adapter for the iPhone 4S in Estonia?
When you are travelling with more than your iPhone 4S or visiting more than one country then the best travel charger for Estonia to buy is a multiple USB adapter which includes swappable plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger.
