iPad 10.9 2024 charger

i have purchased an iPad 10.9 2024 as a Christmas gift and can’t work out which charger/plug it will use, and because it is a gift, I don’t want to open it to check.

is it the same charger as an iPhone 15?

thanks

Presumably you have purchased your iPad within the European Union, or the United Kingdom. iPads purchased within this region are generally only supplied with a charging cable - the Power Adapter, if required, being an additional purchase option.


In countries where a Power Adapter is not included in the box with the iPad, a USB-C Power Adapter rated at 20W or greater that supports USB PD (Power Delivery) will be suitable to charge your iPad. All Apple USB-C Power Adapters support USB PD. That said, your iPad requires at least 12W to reliably charge.


In countries/regions where USB-C Power Adapter is supplied with the iPad, a country-specific Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter will be included in the box.

To clarify - current models of iPad and iPhone supplied within the EU do not include a Power Adapter in the box. Apple's EU website clearly states that only a Charging Cable is included.


While the UK is not an EU Member State (post Brexit), the UK is similarly deprived of a Power Adapter in the box. This is similarly identified on Apple's UK website.
