Is there different chargers for iPads and phones

Best Answer:Generally people use the Power blocks provided for their iPad/iPhone as the charge method for the intended device. However, the Charger (regardless if they are used for iPhone or IPad) will still charge the other "I" device.
For instance:
The 5w Phone charge will charge the iPad, but just at a slower rate.
The 10w or 12w iPad Power block will still charge the iPad and iPhone - Some iPhones (such as 6) will benefit by charging at a faster rate from the use of this type of power block.- Answered by Thomas W from Avondale

Best Answer:
No!!! The only concern is if it is of a different voltage. The wattage has no affect.

Best Answer:Any of the iPad adapters will work for the iPads. You can purchase this 12w adapter and just use a 30-pin USB cable with it. It will draw as much power as it needs to (since the iPad 1 uses 10 watts, it will draw 10 from this).

Best Answer:Actually it's not that complicated if you did want to use it in your car. Just get a power inverter. They plug into your cigarette lighter outlet and convert the 12V DC to 120V AC. They're quite common and work great.

How much faster will this charger charge my iPad3 ?
- Asked by Michael H from Conway
- 25-Oct-2012
- Flag as inappropriate (How much faster will this charger charge my iPad3 ?)
Best Answer:It won't contrary to popular belief.
The new iPad has its max load info printed on the back of the device.
The faster charge time depends on the new iPad's (iPad 3) capabilities to accept the higher value charge. Over supplying the circuitry when it is not capable can cause fault and possibly fire. A step down feature exists within apple devices to prevent over supply of electricity. When you use a 12 Watt charger on a iPad 3 it will only accept the max load which is 10.71 Watt
The 12 Watt power adapter outputs more voltage and amps than its predecessor at ~ 10 Watt; The 12 Watt is rated at 5.2V and 2.4A respectively so actually the total output is 12.48 Watts. The ability for a device to be charged quicker is usually restricted by the device and in cases where it is not, over supplying power can cause overheating and damage to the device or worse even cause a fire.- Answered by Utah C from Perth

Best Answer:1A at 5V is 5W. And the adapter has a standard USB connector. It should work using your GoPro's USB cable. Of course, there's no guarantee, and Apple is not going to support using their chargers with non-Apple devices.

Can the 12W USB Power Adapter be used to charge the Apple Pencil? What about the Apple Magic Keyboard?
I only want to take one charger when I travel so I am curious to know whether I can use this charger (which came with the iPad Pro) to charge my iPhone, the Apple Pencil, and the Magic Keyboard. It is very convenient that they all use the lightning cable. But I'm not sure about voltage and compatibility issues with the pencil and keyboard. Thanks!
