If Apple's original ipad and iphone charger are universal , Apple's design takes into account the versatility of the product, which is perfectly generic from design to actual testing, so users don't have to worry. But some other brands of chargers are difficult to protect, so when to distinguish whether the original.
A lot of people are questioning the ipad's maximum current of 2.1A, and the iphone charger's maximum current is 1 A, which will burn the iphone when it's mixed up. In fact, this worry is redundant, the so-called maximum current is the maximum number of power, not necessarily output the maximum current. The ipad charger can detect the maximum power of the iphone and charge it with the power of the iphone.
From the charging time, the ipad charger will take as much time to recharge the iphone as it did, and charging the ipad with an iphone charger costs more than twice times, because the iphone charger has a smaller inlet and requires more time.
