No.

The reason there is NO wireless, inductive charging for any iPads are that iPads have a back case made of an aluminium alloy material and NOT glass, like many higher end iPhones and other smart phone models.

You cannot have wireless, inductive charging with a device made of metals.

You need glass materials for a device for inductive charging, as glass is an electrical isolator/shield while most metals are not.

So, until iPads have a back completely made of glass or Apple somehow finds a way to permanently bond a large piece of glass to the aluminium back of an iPad that will allow to wirelessly, inductively charge, no wireless, inductive charging for ANY iPads, currently.


Sorry.
