Is iPad Pro Compatible with MagSafe/MagSafe Duo?

Not defensive at all - but in seeking advice from ASC Community Contributors, you do seem resistant to imparted information unless explicit reference to an Apple document can be provided. This is perhaps understandable, as a lot of well-intended mis-information is distributed within these Communities.

In this instance, to my knowledge, the specification that you seek is not listed in Apple-published documentation of which I am aware - and please be assured that professionally I spend a lot of time combing documents for information.

In providing supporting third-party references, I have been careful to only provide links to “trusted” and well informed/respected publishers of information relating to Apple - in this case, 9to5 of Mac and Appleinsider.

I hope this sharing of knowledge and resources has been helpful to you.

Hi Michel, I have created this account simply to inform you that you’re being quite rude and even worse it is you that is incorrect. If you scroll down just a little from the ‘Connect to other devices’ section that Sean linked to in HT209186, you will clearly see the section titled ‘Use your iPad to charge other devices’ that proves iPads Pro are indeed intended and/or designed to charge devices like Watches and iPhones. Perhaps consider apologising for your error and behaviour.

Sean is asking specifically about the 5th generation 12.9” model, the information you’ve provided is from before that model was released and therefore not guaranteed to be accurate.

In providing information here, I do in fact make specific reference to the new 2021 iPad Pro 12.9”. I quote device capabilities derived through my specific testing and extensive experience of this model - and provide additional links links to published third-party information.

Apple are traditionally circumspect in the technical specifications that they publish - and in these models of iPad Pro have shared far more than has historically been the case. As history has demonstrated, practical testing (and teardown by third parties) is often required to uncover much of the information that Apple choose not to formally share by way of published specifications.

Apple have made quite clear that the new iPad Pro can source sufficient power to explicitly charge an iPhone over a direct wired connection. It follows that a wired connection offers considerable efficiency benefits over inductive charging.

Apple do invite feedback and comment via their product feedback pages:

All contributors here will no doubt be very interested to learn of any additional information that you manage to uncover from your continued inquiries from Apple. Please do share them here, with appropriate references, for the benefit of all.
