OK to charge iPhone 5S with 10W iPad 2 charger?

Is there anything wrong with charging my iPhone 5S (or my wifes iPhone 5) with my old 10W iPad 2 charger (and my new iPhone lightening cable)?  Can I do that without causing adverse battery issues?  Thanks!

Not significantly faster in my experience.
However, if you use the iPhone charger for the iPad, it will charge, but VERY slowely and sometimes if you are using it while plugged into the iPhone charger, the iPad will actually lose a charge, because the iPhone charger is a bit small for the iPad. But it won't cause damage.

  • IPOD classic won't charge with 10W IPAD charger

    I have an IPOD Classic, 120 GB, an IPOD touch and an IPAD.  The 120GB IPOD classic will not charge with the new 10W IPAD charger.  Charges fine with the original IPOD classic charger.  The 10W IPAD charger charges the IPOD touch and IPAD just fine.  Any one have any ideas what might be going on?

    It should work.  See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3044169?start=0&tstart=0

  • Is it possible to charge an ipod with the ipad charger

  • 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?"

    This will also make a good reading.

    As output voltage is correct, charging is safe. It will charge about twice as fast as compared to its own charger.

  • I have charged my iphone with an ipad charger for about 4 months

    I have charged my iphone with and ipad charger for about 4 months. On the bright side I always unplug my phone when it gets to a 100%
    How much can my iphone's battery life be affected? The battery still works but less than when I just bought it, I don't know if it is because of the time I have been using the phone or because of the ipad's charger.

    You will do no harm using the iPad charger
    Apple give the iPad 12W charger compaitbility with ALL the iOS devices back to early iPods in fact the 4th generation a long way back
    You have nothing to fear

  • IPhone doesn't see iPad charger

    Hi,
    My iPhone (first generation, purchased January 2008) does not recognize or respond to my iPad 2 charger when I plug it in.
    It's not a cord issue: the iPhone charges fine when I plug the cord into the iPhone charger or into a USB port. It's the same whether I use the cord that came with the iPhone or with the iPad 2 or with an old iPod cord. The iPhone recognizes and charges on the iPhone charger and random USB ports but not on the iPad 2 charger.
    On the other hand, my iPad 2 charges fine when connected to the iPad 2 charger, using any of the above cords. It will also charge via the iPhone adaptor (but not as quickly, of course).
    Any thoughts as to why this might be?
    Thanks!

    Settings - general - resets - reset network settings on your iphone.
    this will force the iphone to "forget" all your previous wifi access points and settings (WPA, WEP keys , etc) and you'll have to reenter them again.

  • HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

    Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
    Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
    I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
    This is copied from that article that I posted above.
    Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

  • I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct tho

    I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.

    Charging cords are covered by the iPhone warranty or their own warranty
    if puchased separately. Take your iPhone and the cords to your local
    Apple store for evaluation and possible replacement.
