    Slow discharge on charger overnight

    iPad Air Air 4/Pro Pencil 2 charger part, standalone?

    Wondering if anyone has tried to source just the pencil 2 charging board and connect it to an external power source to create a hacky off-iPad charger? If the logic board that’s part of it handles the actual charging regulation and power negotiation I wonder if it would be possible. I can’t...

    How do MBP USB-C/TB ports stack to iPhone/iPad chargers?

    I am curious, and I can't seem to find the info - when you plug in your iPhone or iPad in your Mac, it gets charged. It's hard for me to estimate how fast this is (I usually leave them overnight anyway) but I'm curious. Is it closer to those old 5W chargers or to the new 20W ones. I'm talking...
