Just switched over to an iPhone 11 after many years with Android (last iPhone I had was a 3Gs).

I was wondering which charging adapters should I get for my iPhone and iPad respectively? I was thinking about 30W for the iPad and 18W for the iPhone 11 but I’m not sure if my iPad Air 3 supports anything over 18W. Is there any diff between 18 and 30W for iPad Air 3?

This resource helped me a lot in understanding what type of charge my new iPad Air 3 will take since I bought it at the same time as my 11 Pro and wanted to fast charge both (https://www.inviolabs.com/blogs/new...rger-is-needed-ipad-air3-mini-5-charging-test).

From there, I went ahead and got one of these (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T7M2799/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_tai_3s5JDb) and one of these (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFMHZFF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_GB5JDbMD4ZG2T). I’m happy with the results!

Anker also makes a 30W one and some cables if you’d rather that reputable brand as well.

Hope that helps!
