I am not a Genious Bar Apple employee but I do own a 13" MacBook Air, the 13" MacBook (Mid 2005), 15 inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2008), 13" Macbook Pro (Mid 2011) and two White mid 2006 MacBooks-- Just to name a few

The air requires 45 watts, MacBooks require 60, and the 15"/17" Pro's require 85 watts.

Summary:
45w Megsafe Air charger will only charge the Air although a higher watt charger will charge it as well

60 Watt Mega safe. Charger that comes with the all 13" MacBook's and Pros are as well as the air

Whilst the The 85 watt Megasafe charger is intended For Macs 15" & 17"; it is my charger of choice b/c it charges all Intell based Macs including the air

My advice would be to buy one of these due to the extreme difference in cost. Use one of your old chargers plugged in to your desk at home (or wherever you normally charge at home) with this adapter.

Save your new adapter for "mobile" use... take it with you when you travel.

I have my old, original magsafe adapter that came with my Jan 2006 macbook pro plugged in at my desk at home. It's lasted so long simply because it stays in that one location and never moves. So leave your old charger at home with the magsafe adapter since the old one is more likely to fail if you continue to use/abuse it (simply because it's older).

The 27" Thunderbolt Display ships with the MagSafe adapter and I have it hooked up to my Retina MacBook Pro without any issues so It should be fine with the 27" Cinema LED Display.

You'll need a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, Apple product number MD823ZM/A. It converts from the old 30-pin connector used by older iPhones/iPads/iPods and their accessories to the smaller Lightning connector used today.

Unfortunately, Apple's comment system won't let me post a link to their own online store. Check under Store/Shop iPhone/iPhone Accessories.

The MagSafe connector used to be thicker (pre-2012), when the MacBooks were thicker. This adapter lets you connect an old MagSafe 1 power cord to a newer laptop that only accepts the thinner MagSafe 2 connector.

It has nothing to do with iOS devices.
