Quick charger than standard 5W charger
I honestly don't understand why people slate this charger for being bulky. Or even ugly???
What's more important? the look of you r iPhone/iPad or the charger? Obviously it the iPhone/iPad.
Yes it's a tiny bit bigger than the standard 5W iPhone charger. But the charge time is seriously reduced.
Why do you think Apple issued this charger in the first place when purchased with a iPad?
Answer: from 0% to 100% charges in about 2-3hrs with 12W charger, with the 5W charger 4-5hrs maybe more.
With iPhone 4S this charger can charge my phone 0% to 100% in around 1hr. …- Written by michael B from stockton-on-tees

An apple design classic
Couldn't be more opposed to those saying it looks ugly. Next to my MagSafe charger it just looks right. Well made and of quality m aterials too. In comparison the new triangle chargers you get with the iPhone and iPad mini, just look like generic other manufacturer copies. Severe lack of imagination there Apple!
Also these work with the world travel charger adapters due to the interchangeable plugs. …- Written by David M from Dudley

what power adapter do i need for ipad gen 1
- Asked by Daryll L from Montour Falls
- 30-Dec-2012
Answer
Any of the iPad adapters will work for the iPads. You can purchase this 12w adapter and just use a 30-pin USB cable with it. It will draw as much power as it needs to (since the iPad 1 uses 10 watts, it will draw 10 from this). …
