iPro pro 9.7 charge so slow

[melman101]

1. Buy $49 29W USB-C Charger and $25 USB-C to lightning cable
2. Never worry about slow charging any iOS device again
3. ?????
4. (Apple) Profit!

Disclaimer: "Never" might only be until Apple's next keynote.

It's my understanding that doesn't work for the 9.7" model

Oh I never mentioned it would charge the 9.7" model at 29W. However, it will charge all models at their maximum charging speed, whether 10W, 12W or 29W.

Uh yea. That's some pretty bad advice right there.

It's Bad advice but I wanted to just explain further: People say the 29W charges any IOS device faster. It might not but it won't damage your device. Some people (EverythingApplepro) have plugged a USB killer into a A iPad Pro. That generated 240V into the iPad and it didn't affect it. I'm serious. It just made the screen flash but the iPad still worked as normal and charger properly once it was removed. Just a waste of money in my opinion as Apple devices have built in over voltage protection.
[doublepost=1479125009][/doublepost]I also experience slow charging issues with my iPad Pro 9.7. I reckon it is one of these issues. 1. The 10W adaptor is rubbish. I still have my 12W from my old iPad Air and it has greatly improved my Charging speed. 2. The new iPad Pro 9.7 has a brighter screen. It seems to draw a lot more power (5V/2.4 amp=12W) when the battery is at 5% and screen is on 100% brightness. Once the iPad screen is dimmed it draws only 5V/2.1amp = 1W. Strange. Also the charging voltage drops a lot once the battery is past 50%. For me it dropped from 2.4-2.1 amp down to about 1.5-1.7amp. Is this some safeguard to protect the battery or make you want to buy a 29W charger? 3. The cable. Some cables deliver less power than others. Using my iPhone cable I can only get up to 2.1amps power. Using an iPad cable I can get up to 2.6 (on my old iPad Air). What madness is this?

Why is that bad advice?
The 29 Watt charger came with my MacBook. I use a usb-c to lightning cable for the iPad Pro 9.7". I also use the 10 Watt iPad charger for my iPhone 6s, so I can leave the 5 Watt iPhone charger in my office bag.
