I haven't seen the new wall charging unit, but if we assume that the output voltage is 5 volts -- then the charging unit would be putting out 2.4 amps.
Quick calculation to find watts: Volts * Amps = Watts, so 5V * 2.4 amps = 12 watts.- Answered by Gerry C from Coto De Caza

AnswerIt is perfectly fine! All chargers made by apple are backwards compatible with other devices, meaning that it is safe to use them.

Best AnswerIt most definitely will. Apple has already said the new 12W charger will charge all apple products faster than the older chargers. I can full charge my iPhone 4S in about 2 hours.

Does this charger double as a power converter for traveling in Europe? (I have an adapter, but not a converter and I don't want to blow out my iPad).

Best AnswerMost apple products are capable of running from European or US supplies with the correct mechanical adapter (pin configuration). 100-240Vac covers the US 110Vac, the European 220Vac and the Australian 240Vac

what power adapter do i need for ipad gen 1

AnswerAny 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).

Are the iPod adapters somehow grounded, not adding noise to the signal/iPod?
Hello!
I have a Q about the iPod adapters. Do they add noise when connected to the mains. I am a sound-engineer and I use...want to only use iPod Touch 4 32gb to play selected music using professional audio monitors in a pro environment.. etc, but the adapter I use now (not original) adds noise to the signal, despite there are many filters applied to the electricity chain. I need that iPod all the time connected to the mains and I was wondering if the original apple adapters are somehow grounded...not adding noise to the audio signal?
I really need that clean audio signal while my iPod is always connected the the mains via adapter. Any options for moded/handmade adapters are welcome too, lol : )
Thank you in advance!
