Yes, an iPhone's USB-C charger can charge an iPad, but charging speed depends on wattage — a 20W Apple iPhone charger charges most iPads, just more slowly than a dedicated 30W+ adapter designed for tablets. At AvaNext, the Apple 20W USB-C adapter costs PKR 3,800, while a 45W option suited for faster iPad charging costs PKR 4,200.
Quick answer for shared-charger households
An iPhone's 20W charger will charge an iPad, just slower than the iPad's ideal 20-45W range depending on model. It's safe, just not optimal for a fast top-up. Browse the Chargers collection.
FAQs
Is it safe to use an iPhone charger on an iPad long-term? Yes — there's no damage risk, only a speed difference, since the iPad simply draws less power than it's capable of accepting.
Charging Speed by iPad Model
| iPad Model | Ideal Charger Wattage | Charging with 20W iPhone Charger |
|---|---|---|
| iPad (10th gen) | 20W | Full speed |
| iPad Air (M1/M2) | 20W | Full speed |
| iPad Pro (M4) | 45W | Slower than ideal, but functional |
When Sharing a Charger Works Fine
If you're charging overnight or don't need the fastest possible speed, using one 20W Apple charger across an iPhone and a basic iPad is perfectly safe and convenient.
When to Buy a Dedicated iPad Charger
If you own an iPad Pro and frequently need a quick top-up, a 45W adapter — like the 45W USB-C PD Fast Charger at PKR 4,200-4,470 — significantly reduces charging time compared to sharing a 20W iPhone charger.
Cable Compatibility
Any USB-C to USB-C cable works across iPhone 15+ and all recent iPad models — the same cable can move between devices without issue.
