IPad Air 2 Charger

I just purchases an iPad Air 2 64GB.  I was surprised during unboxing that the charger it comes with is 10 watts when the iPad 4th generation and first iPad Air came with a 12 watt charger.  Does anyone know why Apple reverted to the weaker charger?  Why wouldn't one want to charge their device in a shorter amount of time?  I was dissapointed.

No one knows why they did it. Apple does what Apple does.

    If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
    Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty.

  • IPad Air charging VERY slowly, sometimes "not charging" entirely.

    I'm using the charger that came with the new iPad Air in a wall outlet, but it charges incredibly slowly. We're talking like 10% charge in about an hour's time. Sometimes, even with the same set up, it says "not charging" all together. I think it charges even slower when doing it through my MacBook Air. Is anyone else having this issue with their new iPad Air charging slowly?

    Same issue here. At least 4 hours on the charger and only 50%. Pretty **** annoying really. I love the new Apple stuff, but every time I upgrade to a new phone, laptop or iPad I end up having to take it into the Genius bar and get it replaced. Is it too difficult to conduct more thorough testing or at least get something right.
    Going to tough it out for another week before I make the long journey to the Apple store to wait in a line.
    It seems the online support doesn't accept my serial number as it is 'yet to be a supported device'....well done Apple, outdoing yourselves as always

  • IPad air charger not working?

    Bought on Friday, it's now Sunday evening,... Went to recharge the ipad Air with the original 12w plug and no sign of charging?
    Tried  the 10w ipad 2 plug with the new lighting cable and no sign of charging.
    Tried the same cable in ancient iPod Classic plug, and it worked... Plug got very warm so disconnected, but it did suggest it was charging.
    Did a hard system reboot, but no change.
    Any thoughts before I take it back to the shop???   Looking elsewhere.... It looks like I not the only one with this fault. Is there a recall on the way ?? :-(

    Hello,
    Same problem here. After some plug and unplug
    it started to work again .... But this is strange.
    Does your replacement works ?

  • IPad Air charging problem

    Hello, i got ipad air 2 days ago and i wanted to charge it now but i got error message "this accessory may not be supported" )I AM USING ORIGINAL CHARGER) i tried to google that problem but nothing works! :(

    if it is new, take it in and show them.   You might want to borrow a different charger and a different cable just to see if that is the issue.

  • My ipad air charging plug is getting hot. Should I be concerned?

    My original iPad Air had to be replaced because of a hardware problem. Then my charging cord also had to be replaced. Now I am noticing that my charging plug is getting hot. Should I be concerned? Thanks. This is the plug on the end of the charging cord that came with my iPad, of course.

    Make sure you are using the 10W/12W charger.
    5W charger will get hot if you use it to charge the iPad.
