Mixed up my ichargers...which is which?

[SteveKnobs]

Hey guys. I mixed up my iPhone and iPad chargers when I was moving. Does the ipad use the "larger" connector or the smaller one?

The iPad charger is about 2 x 2 inches, with rounded edges. The iPhone charger is the small block about 1x1 inch.

Perfect- that was easy. Thanks dude

Possibly a silly question, but does it matter (beyond issues such as selling/returning them??)

They're different voltages, but I don't think charging an iPhone with an iPad connector will harm the iPhone, itself.

No it doesn't really matter except it will take noticeably longer to charge your iPad with your iPhone charger. It can, however, be safely done, I've done it.

They're the same voltage (5V), but each supply a different current. The iPhone charger supplies 1A, while the iPad charger supplies 2A. The iPad charges very slowly w/ the iphone charger. If the voltages were actually different, there probably would be damage by using the wrong charger.

Pardon my ignorance. Thanks for correcting me, haha. 😀

Ah, thanks!
