can a wireless charger be used with ipad mini 5?

To have wireless charging capabilities, like iPhones, iPads need to incorporate electrical conducting, glass areas on the back panel for wireless, inductive battery charging.

No iPad has a back chassis that is made of glass.

The backs of iPads are made of an aluminium alloy.

So, wireless, inductive charging is NOT possible.

You are free and welcome to submit feedback about this issue to Apple.

This is only one of the few ways to directly contact Apple about ANY product issues.

iPad Feedback

http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Cognizant Apple employees read ALL feedback generated from all of the various feedback pages and transfers the data to the proper and responsible Apple teams and personnel, but NO Apple employees will ever respond with any type of direct, individual replies from the feedback you post.

The more users that post product feedback about any product issue, the faster Apple, in California, is made aware and starts working on a fix/solution for a future software update.

Best of Luck to You!

No, iPads do not have the hardware to support wireless charging.
