IPad 2 charger on iPhone 4s?

Is it okay to use the bigger more powerful iPad 2 charger to charge your iPhone 4S? And how about the reverse?
I had my iPad connected to a Dell latitute laptop during setup (via USB) and it was in a state of "not charging". I assume this was because the USB port wasn't able to provide high output to charge the device? Will an iPhone chargine device charge the iPad 2 but at a slower rate?
Thanks,

"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

Ipad charger vs iphone charger

will using the 10volt ipad charger damage iphone?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Using iPad charger w/ iPhone 3GS

Is it safe to do so? I'd like to carry only one charger.

I'm sorry but you are wrong.
Both chargers are 5 VOLT. one is 5 watts and one is 10 watts. These are based on maximum amperages before the voltage drops. If you put an iPhone on the ipads charger it will see 5 volts as it always does. It has an inherent internal resistance and will draw a specific amount of amperage and hence power from the charger.

Ipad charger on iphone

Hi,
Would using the ipad charger on my iphone/ipod harm them ?
Thanks

It's not listed by Apple as an approved charger for the iPhone, but it won't hurt it.
They are both 5 volt chargers. iPod should be fine too.
I have used my iPad charger many times with my iPhone and it hasn't harmed it.

iPhone and iPod: Using the iPad 10WUSB Power Adapter, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327
While designed for use with the iPad, you can use the iPad 10W USB Power Adapter to charge all iPhone and iPod models. When charging an iPhone 3G with a 10W USB Power Adapter, you may notice that the battery indicator does not increase. If this occurs, or if your battery indicator doesn't update after charging, restart your iPhone 3G to display the correct battery level.

Using iPad charger for iPhone?

Hi
I've always assued it was okay to use the chargers that came with my iPad and iPhone interchangeably. However, I was speaking to someone in a retail store and they were saying that I should onlyi use the iPhone charger for the iPhone and same with iPad as it could impact the battery over time if I mix and match.
I've even used my iPad charger for my old Nano when I wasn't charging it through my computer.
I know there was a previous discussion on this a couple years back but I was curious if there were any updated opinions on this.
Thanks!

You can ignore that advice, as whoever you talked to doesn't know what they're talking about. You can use the iPad charger with your iPhone, just fine. Read here:

The 5W iPhone charger will charge the full size iPad, but only being 5W's, the pace will be glacier.

IPad Charger for iPhone?

I know I can't use my iPhone charger for my iPad, but if I use my iPad charger for my iPhone, willy phone charge faster?

I am probably wrong, I know we can mix/change current (mah.) to charge a device faster or slower, i.e. 700 mah would charge slower than 1000 mah keeping the same voltage, but I wouldn't charge an Iphone which works with 5W thinking it would charge faster using a 10W charger. I never tried before but normally doubleing the voltage would fry the power regulator in any device.

Can I use ipad charger for iphone 6

Have retina iPad. Can I use that charger for new iPhone 6?
Thanks.

Yes, the new iPhone 6 uses the same lightning cable.

When I try to turn on my iPhone 4, it wouldn't turn on unless if I use an iPad Charger. When it will turn on. I can't connect to any WiFi Services or my Service Provider, I can't text or call anyone. When I unplug my iPhone 4 it'll just shut off.

So when I try to plug in My iPhone 4 to any plug it won't turn on or charge unless if I use an iPad charger. When I do get to turn it on. My Phone will Standby for a few seconds( While I'm Typing my 4-Digit Code) then it'll unlock and go to the home screen. Once I'm on the home Screen I can't Call, Text or Email anyone because my iPhone Can't detect any Wifi Hotspots and it also can't connect to my Service Provider, It'll just Say "Searching...". The non-internet apps work perfectly fine. So since I was able to use Just an iPad Charger to turn on my iPhone 4, I tried a Regular iPhone charger that were plugged into a wall or my computer. When its Plugged in, my iPhone will turn on ( Showing the Apple Logo) then turn back off. It'll constanly do this only when it's plugged into a Regular iPhone Charger, Either plugged into a Wall Socket or my Computer. So I Tried to Restore the Phone by using some of the Methods, given by other iPhone 4 Users, non of them worked. My iPhone won't Restart, Restore, Turn on without a Charger, Be Detected on my Computer and Detect my Service Provider. I really need help to fix my iPhone 4. I'm really not sure if it's a Malfunction with the Software on the iPhone, if my Sim Card is Broken. if the System is Corrupted but it only happens Rarely.

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

Can you use an iPad charger for the iPhone 4S?

I would like to use the charger for my iPad to connect/charge my iPhone 4S. Will it work?

I presume you have Power Adapter to USB 12W which comes with iPads and it is compatible with iPhone 4s.
So yes.

Any good chargers or dual-use cables for charging an iPhone 4S (30-pin) and iPad 4 (lightning)?

Here is the situation:
A sick friend lies in bed most of the time and has her iPhone 4S (30-pin) charging cable connector within reach. She now also has an iPad 4 (lightning connector).
We are looking for a good charging solution which doesn't require multiple chargers or getting up and replacing the cable in the adapter.
We know we can use the same adapter for the iPad 4 and iPhone 4S, but the cable/connector is different.
Is there a good single cable with both kinds of connectors on the end?
Or would a connector adapter be easiest?
Or is there some cool charging unit which can do both at the same time?
Thanks,
Doug

Your only two choices, that I can think of, is to use an adapter. I have a third party one that I got at Office Depot that has micro USB on the end, with a lightning or 30 pin that I can swap out. And there are cables that are dual ended...as in the adapter is attached and can be plugged/unplugged but are still part of the cable.
For third party I'd suggest to stick to well known names, Targus, Zagg, Kensington, Belkin etc for your shopping. THose companies have most likely, gotten permission from Apple to make accessories.
The only other option I can think of is to use a longer extension cord to put the power block near your friend's bed, which will then allow her to plug in the appropriate cable to charge the appropriate device.

Is it ok to charge my iPhone 6 with my iPad charger

Is it ok to charge my iPhone 6 using my iPad charger

i do understand that, but frankly speaking, it takes approximately 3-4 hours to completely charge my phone from 1% to 100% (with 1A charger)
Comparatively, it would take less than one hour to top up my battery with 2.1A charger.
Hence, just thinking to myself that, "why didn't apple come with the 2.1A charger at the first place?"

Is it safe to charge an iPhone 5S with an iPad 12 W Apple Charger ?

Hello,
I want to purchase an extra DC Charger to charge both my Ipad 4th gen and my iPhone 5S.
Is it safe to use a 12W Apple Charger for both device ?
Thanks.

According to Apple Store page, it also charges iPhone and all iPod models.
And I use the charger that came with iPad for my iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s all the time and nothing happened, so I think it is safe to use 12W Charger for both devices.
