Q: Can use ipad charger to charge iphone?

Hi, I have both iPad and iPhone 4. Can I use iPad charger for iphone and vise versa?

By the way, why is my iPad not charging when connected to computer via USB?

Why does iPhone doesn't show battery percentage on the status bar?

Sorry I am very new to these 2 gadgets..

    Hi, I have charged my touch 4G with my ipad charger (output of max 10V). The touch charges fine but does not charge any quicker than with normal 5V USB wall charger. I have also given the charger to my mate for his iphone 4 and it works fine.

    If you are using windows PC, than there is a program made by ASUS, which allows you to charge the ipad via USB but is very slow. If you want the program, I will post the name to you when I get home.

    I have a 2A incase car/wall charger for ipad, iPhone, and iPod. It works great for all devices. You may find the iPad compatible charger will charge the iPhone much faster than that of a lower amperage.

    iPad supply will charge iPhone 4; not the other way around. Current capability of iPad charger is twice that of iPhone charger.

    By the way, why is my iPad not charging when connected to computer via USB?


    Many usb ports don't have enough current capability.

    Why does iPhone doesn't show battery percentage on the status bar?


    Go to Settings and turn that option on.

    No. All I use now are iPad chargers so I know there will be enough current.

    Isn't it recommended to use the standard charger on an iPhone/iPod?

    iphone 4 small charger can change iPad, BUT the charger does get a lot hotter then usual and will die a lot faster then it should (confirmed: 2 separate iphone 4 chargers chagrin different ipads died with in 3 month of use)

    The iPad charger on the other hand is fully compatible with iPhones and will reduce the Wattage when the iphone is plugged in.

    I mistakenly plugged my iPad charger into my iPhone last night and vice versa. this morning I lost 62% of my iPhones charge in 2 hours doing nothing other than answering a text message. once.  clearly this IS harmful to the battery and I would recommend that no one charges their phone in this manner. alternatively I have lost 1% of the iPad charge while writing this response, so also not normal.

    Are you mentally challenged? I used the 10w charger in the iPhone and the 1a charger in re iPad, as pertaining to the relevance of this discussion.
