New iPad charging cable vs. iPhone 4s cable

Are the charging cables for the iPhone 4s and the New iPad the same? Can I use them interchangeably?

You can use the iPad charger to charge the iPhone. Not a problem. Theoretically, you can use the iPhone charger to charge an iPad. However, the new iPad has a battery that's 70% larger than the iPad 2. The iPhone charger charged the iPad 2 very slowly. I haven't tried charging my new iPad with my iPhone charger but I suspect that, in order to charge it at all, you will need to turn it off. If the iPad is on, especially if you try to use it, I don't think it will charge.
Best of luck.

  • How many iPad charging cables are there?

    How many iPad charging cables are there?  Anyone know 'officially'?

    I suggest you ask the question you are really trying to discover the answer to; for example:
    "I need a new charging cable for my iPad 2.  I see there are three different charging cables at the Apple Store.  One has a lightning connector.  One has a 30 pin connector.  The third has an L-shaped connector.  Which one (or ones) of these would work for my iPad 2?"

  • Can I use the extension cord on my six year old 60w MacBook to make my new ipad charger longer

    Can I use my six year old extension cable from my 60w MacBook to hook up to my new ipad charger to make it longer? It fits into it but wasn't sure about wiring, I'm sure its ok but just wanted to check.

    should be fine

    Using an iPad charger will not hurt your phone or the SIM. Contact your carrier for a new SIM.

  • Can i use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa

    I have ipad 2 and i bought new ipad for my dad. Both ipads charge quickly with ipad2 charger as compare to new ipad charger.
    So, my question is.. Is it okay to use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa...???

    The iPad 1, iPad 2 and new iPad all use the same 10W charger.
    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%.
    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.

  • My new ipad charger got electrical short!!

    My new ipad charger got kind of electrical short. There were some little explosion sound and spark.
    I went to istudio and gave it back. 5 days later they just called me and told me that they wouldn't give me a new charger because this case is not covered.
    well, I live in Thailand and i have purchased it since May 8th. The apple care center in Thailand told me that the Office in Singapore denied to give me the new charger.
    What should i do????

    It should be covered by the 1 year warranty. Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Look at Apple feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

    it is highly unlikely that an iPad charger can cause damage to an iPhone - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327. I have personally charged my 3GS with an iPad charger many times without any problem.

    Yuppers, but you just can't do it in reverse since an iphone charger won't put out enough juice to effectively charge an ipad

  • I am considering purchase of the new iPad and already own iphone 3GS, can I use my phone to tether to the iPad and use the phones 3G connection? This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

    This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

    You can tethe, but depending on carrier you may need to pay for that option... I've decided to have my phone on one provider and my ipad on another so i always have connectivity... More expensive in the long run, but I need to make sure I am always "on" for work
    YMMV

  • TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Does the New iPad support SIRI as iPhone 4s?

    Does the New iPad support SIRI as iPhone 4s?
    I saw mic icon on left side of space is look like siri feature but i don't know how to setting.
    anyone can help for this?

    That would not be Siri, that would be dictation. When you want to say something rather than type it, tap that button and say want you want. All of your words will be changed into text. It's very similar to dragon dictation. Siri currently is just an iPhone 4s thing.
