Thanks, Esther,
I knew they both worked and didn't realize they were different. Is there a
difference in the feel, do you know?
Thank you,
Lois

Hi Debbie,
While you can use the iPhone charger for your iPad, you'll find that your
iPad will charge very slowly. The iPad draws 10 watts of power while the
iPhone or iPod Touch will draw 5 watts. That means that the iPad charger
can be used to charge an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or even a Nano at its
maximum charging rate. On the other hand, while the iPhone charger can
charge an iPad, you'll find that it will take much longer to reach a full
charge. Here's a link to the Apple Knowledge Base article about "iPhone and
iPod: Using the iPad 10W USB Power Adapter":
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327
It states: "The iPad USB Power Adapter is a 10W charger. While designed for
use with the iPad, you can use the iPad 10W USB Power Adapter to charge all
iPhone and iPod models by connecting them using a Dock Connector to USB
cable."
If I were traveling and only wanted to take one charger to use with both my
iPhone and my iPad, I would take the charger for my iPad.
This is also the general rule for power adapters for the Apple computers:
you can use a power adapter that is rated to supply more power than your
computer requires without problems, but not the other way around. So you
can use the power bricks for the MacBook Pro laptops in place of the smaller
power bricks of the MacBook Air models, but not vice versa if you need a
reliable power source.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi All
I have both an iPad and an iPhone and I was wondering are both chargers
interchangeable.
Thanks
Debbie
