iPad Pro Yes, the iPad Pro charges SLOWLY. Here’s why.

Ugh.... This is typical Apple. They'll be very draconian about things like this (I recall PCalc had a similar issue with their Notification Center widget) but they'll let things like that InstaAgent credentials stealing app through.

I really hope your appeal succeeds.

Thank you! I will definitely post an update once this is resolved, one way or another (I will post on the iOS Apps forum, the admins have asked to not discuss the app on any other forum).

I thought on most newer iOS devices, the charger (the charger is in the device. The power supply is the white brick they send us) only allows 2.4A of total current to protect the battery. SO in theory, it doesn't matter if you use the 12W or 29W power supply because the iPad Pro will only take 2.4A of current. (Unless I am mistaken and iPAD pro can use higher current.) The only place where the 29W power supply will help is if you want to charge the iPad Pro while using the device at the same time because it takes some charge to use the iPad as well as extra to charge the battery.

So if the iPad PRO battery is a 10,300 mAh battery and you have 2400mA of current, then it should take 10300/2400=4.3 hours to charge, regardless if you use a 12W or 29W power supply if the iPAD is not being used. There is no way to faster charge the iPAD pro UNLESS ITS CHARGER allows for higher current....which I have yet to hear otherwise.

But the voltage is higher, with the 29W the 12.9" Pro charges at 2A, 14.5V; between 2 and 5 times faster than the 12W depending on usage.

See this detailed write-up.

So that means the iPad Pro has a new charger/controller that allows for the higher voltage....interesting. I was under the assumption that it uses the same controller as previous iOS devices as stated in my post.

Yes, the iPP supports the new USB PD standard. The USB input supports 14.5V at 2A, which brings it up to 29W. The charger circuitry supports delivery of up to about 5560mA to the battery. Note that because charging voltage is much lower than 14.5V -- typically at around 4V -- they are able to deliver a much higher current than the 2000mA input current to the battery (14.5V @ 2A can theoretically become as much as 4V @ 7250mA).

Hi everyone, what's the name of the app screenshot on page one? It seems to be exactly the app I've been looking for, but I can't find it on my AppStore

It's called Battery Health and unfortunately Apple has removed it from the App Store.

awwwww ... this is sad!
