  • No.

    The iPad (third and fourth gen) uses a 12 watt charger. The 12 watt charger will charge all iOS devices (All iPads, all iPods, all iPhones - just plug in the right cable - 30 pin or Lightning).

    The iPad and iPad 2 use a 10 watt charger. This will charge iPad, iPad 2 and all iPhones and iPods with the right cable attached (30 pin or lightning). It will not effectively charge a New iPad (third and fourth gen).

    The iPhone and iPods use a 5 watt charger. This will charge all iPhones and iPods with the right cable attached (30 pin or lightning). It will not effectively charge any iPad.

    Basically, one can charge any device with the 12 watt charger as it is powerful enough to charge the most demanding and least demanding iOS devices.

    One can purchase a 12 watt or 5 watt adaptor at the Apple Store or Apple Store OnLine. Don't worry, all the new adaptors look different from each other so you won't grab the wrong one on your way out the door for vacation!

    The lower wattage adaptors are best suited for the devices with which they came.

    Rule of Thumb: A lower wattage adaptor will NOT charge a device that demands a higher wattage adaptor but it is perfectly safe to plug in a higher wattage adaptor into your devices that use lower wattage units.

    Please note that the iPod shuffle uses a special mini jack/USB cable - not a 30 pin or Lightning.
