Does your iPhone 4S charge with an iPhone 3G charger (the chunky charger)?

I'm in the UK and it doesn't. My iPhone 4 was fine with it, though.

It's not the same, is it?

A lot of iPhone 3G accessories only provide 1000mA of power, and the iPhone 4S requires more than that, around 1800-2100mA, so you'll find that some accessories won't work.

That could explain it, then :)
