Tell HN: Apple products come with ungrounded plug in India

The standard 3 pin plug is required for grounding in India but Apple do not sell chargers with 3 pin by default or include it in any of their products. If you buy a macbook and use the default charger, you will feel a slight buzz on the top of the laptop. Your ports might also shock you.

This is quite unexpected given $200-400 laptops come with a decent grounded charger here.

Kids can get shocked while touching your laptop in charging state.
