Question marked as
Yes, the Apple A1265 and A1385 USB power adapters are different, and their differences might affect their compatibility with various devices.
Apple A1265
- Output Power: 5V, 1A (5W)
- Typical Usage: This adapter was commonly used with earlier iPhones and iPods. It's designed for devices that don't require a lot of power to charge, such as older iPhones or smaller devices.
Apple A1385
- Output Power: 5V, 1A (5W)
- Typical Usage: This adapter was also commonly used with iPhones and iPods but in slightly later generations.
The difference between the A1385 and the A1265 is minimal in terms of output power, but the A1385 might have slight internal differences in how it handles power delivery.
While both adapters provide the same voltage and current, some newer devices, especially those requiring more power or featuring more advanced charging technologies (like fast charging), might not charge effectively with these adapters. If a device is designed to work with a 10W or 12W adapter, using a 5W adapter like the A1265 or A1385 may result in slow charging or no charging at all.
