    iPad iPad 8th Gen Charger Support

    The iPad 8th Gen ships with a 20W USB-C charger and a USB-C to lightning cable. I'm using a PD analyzer to monitor the power usage of the iPad. It appears to not support the PD spec and therefore cannot take advantage of the 20W profile (9V, 2.22A). No matter the battery percentage of the iPad...
