iPad Pro Charger for 2021 M1 iPad Pro?

[GMLP]

Made a separate thread here discussing charger compatibility. It seems not all chargers are created equal, at least for the M1 12.9" in my experience.

Fast charging adapter compatibility on 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 inch

For some stupid reasons this post keeps getting auto removed on Reddit, so I am seeking opinions here instead. After 2 days with the new 12.9” Pro, I found my 25W Samsung USB-C to USB-C fast charger DID NOT WORK on this device. Previously it worked just fine with my 2018 11” Pro, minus a bit of...

Is your 11" 2018/2020 model? The Galaxy charger worked totally fine on mine as well.

Only this new M1 12.9" is throwing a tantrum. I don't know if other 12.9" (any year up to 2021) owners can test that out. She doesn't charge at all with Samsung 25W brick

Might sound silly but filp the cable ends and try The cable with a known good charger. Maybe its a bad cable.

my samsung 45W charger it fine. I test it out 2 on friday. my ipad was 33% battery and i start charging it before 1st use at 7:33pm and fully charge by 9:11pm. i havent test it from 0%-100%

Most definitely not. I used the same cable (braided & 100W PD rated), first on the Samsung 25W charger for my Galaxy-not working, then on Apple's 20W charger that comes with the iPad-working well.

On my other thread someone mentioned handshake protocol. The iPad when paired with Samsung 25W keeps connecting and disconnecting repeatedly (I can hear it from the sound cue), as if it had trouble identifying the charger. The battery icon turned green for a split second then back to white (discharge) status.

If the power adapter is indeed faulty how come it still fast charges my Galaxy very well? Or does it only apply to Apple as a third party device?

so I am trying to find a multi device charger to use in my bedroom.... ravpower is not showing up on amazon right now.... I think my long cords have usb c on both ends.... most of the power hubs have only 1 usb c than 3 usb a.... any suggestions. I have 2 iPad Pros I am charging.... was just going to get another 30w brick, than I saw the hubs

Check out the Anker products on Amazon, like this dual-port 60W charger -

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-AK-A2029121-60W-PD-Ports/dp/B07DFGXLY4

I also noticed that RAVPower has fallen off of Amazon - too bad as I have several of their products that I have used for years. They and Anker have been my go-to vendors on these kind of products. You can order direct from RAVPower and they have a 25% coupon sale at the moment.

It appears that this $80 multi-port charger above can accommodate these devices at these output.

• 45W USB-C - iPad Pro
• 30W USB-C - iPhone Pro Max
• 10.5W USB-C - Watch or AirPods
• 10.5W USB-A - AirPods or Watch

This same SKU charger can be had for $49 my home country.

And then use the original 140W charger for the MBP 16". I wanted a 5th port that can output 140W but I do not think any charger will ever do this within the next half decade at under $100

Noticing regular chargers/wall-warts don’t provide enough charge. The charge symbol shows up, but the iPad (12.9 miniLED in my case) either charges slowly (if not being used and off) or gradually loses charge if it’s in use despite being plugged in.

Does anyone know what’s best for being capable of charging while using?

The official USB-C apple charger seems to work fine with mine. It actually charges at a reasonable pace.
