Huh? Wasn’t it the Air 4 that’s getting the 20W brick?
I’d be surprised if the iPad 8th gen shipped with USB-C. I expect it to have just the regular 10-12W USB-A charger.

I guess Apple is preparing people for the charger-less $1000 iPhone by equipping their cheaper products with USB-C chargers...
iPad Air 4 will come with a 20W USB‑C Power Adapter ?
It wouldn’t have made sense to me if the cheaper iPad came with a faster charger, but the Air didn’t.iPad Air 4 will come with a 20W USB‑C Power Adapter ?

it's not, the Air is coming with 18w charger not 20w
the entry level iPad is coming with 20w
Have you looked at the Air’s specs sheet? It is linked to my post. Here is the screenshot, just in case.

Even if this is true (which evidence posted above suggests it isn’t), I doubt that there’s much of a practical difference between them.
