Regular iPad (9th generation): 12W vs. 20W vs. 30W?

Hi all,


Between 12W, 20W, and 30W, which power adapter will charge a regular iPad (9th generation) the fastest?


Thanks!

iPad, iPadOS 15

Any power/charging adapter block over 20W will NOT charge your iPad any faster.

Apple iPads max charging is between 18-20W, +/- 1W, and that is it!

Unless you need a larger wattage power/charger for more powerful Apple laptops, a 20W power/charging adapter block will work just fine.


Best of Luck to You!
