iPad Mini 7 Charging Speed Likely Remains at 20W

[Moukee]

Exactly. For example numerous people have tested and verified the iPad mini 6 can charge up to around 25W. Not that much higher, but it's still higher than 20W.

So this article by MacRumors is just plain wrong?

It's as if Apple just wants people to buy the Air instead

The article says the Air is similarly capped at 20W.

Makes a lot of sense considering small battery size and life-decreasing heat generation.

I’m heartbroken and considering counseling.

Don't cry on the sofa or he'll prescribe pills for you 🤣.

Plus; how long does a charge take - 1 hr? Thats fine...

This appears to be the ultimate device. Not only this one, but every genuine Power Bank from GoalZero is of good for measuring. I conducted testing with the Apple 29W Adapter (without the 9V connector for the Magic Keyboard) and the Apple 87W Adapter (without the 15V connector for the iPad Pro).

This headline is wrong. 20w per ….
Regardless charging my ipad mini 6 is fast enough

Maximum charge rate (watts) is not important. What matters is how long it takes to charge from 0 to 100.

There are ways to fudge the numbers by allowing that high charge rate for a small percentage but normally charge at a lower rate

Is there anything Apple can do where people won’t make excuses for it?

😵‍💫

Faster charging is good but the current speeds are good enough. Don't think it is much of an issue.
