iPad Pro & iPad Air charger questions
What wattage charger does the iPad Pro & iPad Air need?
The iPad Air 13" M3 takes up to 30W and the iPad Pro 13" M4 takes up to 30W. A USB-C Power Delivery charger of 30W or more charges all of them at full speed.
How long does the iPad Pro & iPad Air take to charge?
With the SMARTGEAR 45W USB-C Super Fast Charger 3 Port GaN Wall Charger, the iPad Air 13" M3 charges from empty to full in about 113 minutes and the iPad Pro 13" M4 in about 119. Phones and tablets slow down near the top to protect the battery, so the first half is much quicker than the last.
Is a 65W or 100W charger safe for the iPad Pro & iPad Air?
Yes. A USB-C Power Delivery charger only supplies what the device asks for, so the iPad Pro & iPad Air takes up to 30W from a bigger charger and no more. The spare power can charge a second device from another port at the same time.
Do I need a special cable for the iPad Pro & iPad Air?
No. Any USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 3A (60W) carries the iPad Pro & iPad Air's full 30W. If you need one, the SMARTGEAR 100W USB-C Cable 2m is £8.99.
