Apple charger

[gensity]

Can I check the charger can be used for both iPad mini and iPhone 5?
Their cables seem to be the same unless the voltage is higher for iPad mini.

The chargers are the same. No difference in wattage.

All ipad/ipad mini and iPhone charger can be used interchangeable. Just that when you use ipad one for iPhone the charging will be faster as it is 2.1A. Ipad mini and iPhone is same and if you use for ipad the charging will be slow as it is only producing 1A.

When you use ipad charger to charge your iPhone, it won't be 2.1A but 1A only. You won't be able to achieve shorter charging time for this.

Okay so sorry for the wrong info. However using a iPhone one for ipad will definitely be slower as the ipad is only drawing 1A.

May I know where you got that info?

There is not technical specs available on Apple Batteries ...

So for example, if the battery is able to pull 1.3A max and your using iPhone Charger, you get about 1A since thats what the charger can throw out

However, using iPad charger (2A output), will let the phone charge at about 1.2-1.3A (max) capability, hence there is a slight noticeable charging speed

Note, going from 1A to 2A charger does not mean iphone will charge in half time !!

Also note that using a higher amperage charger will produce more heat for charging battery since a lot of the current will dissipate into the surrounding as heat. The battery is protected by a circuit in the phone which only lets certain amount of Amp go in the battery (as per specs) , you cannot PUSH any amount as you like

i see the charger like no differences leh...
u mean iphone charger will charge faster than ipad mini charger ah?

It's the iPad's charger that they were referring to at 2A, not iPad Mini.

In short, iPad Mini's charger is the same as iPhone 5's, but not the same as iPad's. Read their replies again, and you should be able to figure out now.

Not trying to get into arguement here. How do u know its 1.2amp to 1.3amp being pulled from iPhone instead of 2amp? From what I notice its feel(to my closest estimate) at least 50% faster if not doubled. Especially when it's charging from below 20%.

Coming from my radio control background of battery knowledge I do know for charging many types of battery like metal hydride to lithium batteries, the current draw usually tapered off(lower) near the full state to prevent over charging.

Just curious about number people place in sometimes. Maybe I should do some test on both 5watts and 10watts charger from low 5% to 100%

No arguments

The numbers were an example for better explanation that's why I said the first line that apple doesn't publish it's battery details

can Ipad 3 charger and Iphone 5 charger be interused together too?

Can no problem.
