iPad as charger to other device

Yes, your iPad certainly can provide power via USB-C to charge an external device. However, be aware that this will obviously impact the available battery endurance of your iPad.

I have not, to date, managed to find an absolute source power specification - and neither have I tested this capability. However, the iPad capabilities are known to be able to source 5V and standard PD power profiles over USB-C.

Quoting directly from Apple’s own documentation:

Away from a power outlet and need to charge your iPhone, other iPad, Apple Watch or third-party USB device? Just connect the right cable or adapter to iPad Pro to share its long-lasting battery with your other devices:

• To charge your iPhone or earlier-model iPad that has a Lightning port, connect it to iPad Pro using the Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable. If you have a Lightning to USB cable, you can combine it with the Apple USB-C to USB Adapter, then connect the adapter to iPad Pro.
• If you have two iPad Pro models with USB-C ports, you can connect them directly with a USB-C cable. One iPad Pro will draw power from the other. If you want to change which iPad Pro charges, unplug the USB-C cable and then reconnect them.
• Charge your Apple Watch by connecting its Magnetic Charging Cable to iPad Pro via the Apple USB-C to USB Adapter. If you have an Apple Watch Magnetic Charger to USB-C Cable, you can connect it straight to iPad Pro.

you are meaning to say that this is incorrect I use my iPad Air Daily I can’t charge my iPhone with it + I also cannot charge any other device I tried to connect AirPods Pro with my iPad Air 4 th gen using USB type C to Lightning cable surprisingly it wasn’t charging.

I obviously cannot comment upon your own experience or setup - other than to refer you to Apple’s documentation.

An explicit feature of Apple’s USB-C implementation for iPad Pro, in addition to being able operate in Host/DFP and Peripheral/UFP modes, is the iPad’s ability to source power - specifically to charge other devices such as iPhone over USB.

You can’t do that. iPad Is not a power bank. You definitely can’t charge even if you try it says can’t connect to this device it requires high power

Incorrect.

You cannot charge high power devices try once and comment

I know. It only works with iPad Pro and not all iPad models
