iPads require way more power / voltage for charging the whole battery to 100% within a reasonable time. Wireless charging is too slow at present to be useful in practical terms.
I don’t think they will, but if they were to, I could see them going with iPhone 5 look. Glass on top and bottom where it could charge on the edge of charger. Current iPads charge at 10 watts out of box and iPhone X at 7.5 so it’s not far off. Maybe they could make it 10 for iPad.I’ve already gone rounds with someone about this so not going to rehash it all, but the short answer is no. It’s way too inefficient and the charging pad would have to be huge in order to avoid having to continually reposition the iPad over the charger so the induction coils are positioned correctly.
My 9.7 iPad Pro came with 10 watt.Not going to happen. 10 watts is less than the standard iPad charger that comes with the iPad....and it doesn’t charge really all that quick as it is. At least with plugging it in you can still use the iPad while it’s charging. Who’s going to want to stop using their iPad for even longer just for the benefit of not plugging it in? Get what I’m saying? Plus, as I’ve already mentioned....a charging pad for a iPad is going to have to be huge. Nobody wants the majority of their end table taken up by a charging pad. For these reasons don’t count on wireless charging for iPads any time soon.
