Very Important using both the USB ports for an "IPad Air" would the charging speed on both be substantially reduced speed be affected.

I do not charge an "Air", but am usually charging 2 things at once and notice no reduction in charging time.

I already have one of these but bought a second one. I use it for my phone and blue tooth as well my IPad mini. Great for getting rid of the block with the cord on it. Great value at a great price

Yes, there are two ports on this device that support the required voltage needed to charge the legacy iPads (v1 - v4). My new iPad Air charges with this device as well but I have noticed that the iPad Air is more tolerant of the universal chargers which means that I can actually charge both of my kids iPad 1 and my iPad Air.

I can't say I've tried it. My guess: yes, but very slowly. It's labeled ipad on one charging pad only. I haven't taken the trouble to verify that the other pad gets lower current draw. BTW ipad air charges faster and easier than older ipad, it might make a difference which one you're using

Yes. This charger runs at 2.1 amps per port which is the equivalent to the Apple iPad charger meaning it'll charge at the same speed.

I have used my Ipad 2 while its charging without any problems. However, it charges at a much slower rate while its in use. If the Ipad is fully charged from the outset, then it will maintain its charge while in use if charging.

Hi Mary, Yes you can...One slot is higher powered than the other and will charge faster. I took 2 cords (One Blue)(One Pink) and leave them plugged into slots. The "blue cable" is the lower powered slot and will charge IPhones fine...although not as quickly as the pink cabled slot. The "blue slot" will NOT charge an IPad. Both will charge IPhones. So you don't get confused...two IPhones will charge at the same time. One IPad & one IPhone will charge at the same time. TWO IPADS WILL NOT CHARGE AT THE SAME TIME&gt; You do not have to use both slots at the same time. Always use the "pink" cabled slot when speed is important. It charges VERY FAST. Hope this helps. Wonderful product though.

Hi Jason, To be totally honest with you I can't tell you exactly seeing I don't have an iPad air, however the charger is designed with it's smart charging and fast charging capabilities that it will charge it as fast as the device allows it to be charged at. I have cut 2 1/2 hours off charging by battery pack with it. It is truly the best charger I have had. I actually use it on top of my nightstand instead of plugging it directly into the wall. Overall Jason, is recommend it if you want good quality and a fast charge.

It will not plug directly in the port. You will need to use a 30-pin to lightning adapter or a usb to lightning cable (which I have used with the iPad Air)

The USB ports have a combined voltage of 2.5 amps. So with one connected you get all 2.5. With two connected you get around 1.5 amps each. It will charge but not as quickly as with just one connected. The AC Outlet works independently. So I currently have an iphone, and an ipad connected to the usb ports and a bluetooth speaker recharging on the AC outlet. All 3 are charging, albeit slower then if fewer devices were connected. Short answer is YES.

Yes. It has 2 USB ports, one labelled "Apple" and the other "Android." The difference between the 2 is the amperage. Plug your iPad Mini cable into the Apple port and your iPhone cable into the Android port. The cables are of course identical, but the amperage in the Apple port is 2.1, while the Android port is 1.0 amps. This will allow your iPad to charge quite quickly, and your iPhone at its normal rate.

I am not familiar with the plug on the iPad air...if it has a plug like the iPad 4... The answer is yes...very nice charger

It charges my iphone pretty fast so I don't see any problem with an iPad although it will charge much slower being that a "tablet" takes more to charge than a phone. And a laptop?, It might keep your battery where it's at or more likely drain very slowly. I have plugged all kinds of gear apple or not, and as long as it has USB it'll charge or try its damnedest. Hope that helps.

Considering the 2.1 A current limit coming from both ports, I would say that while you could charge 2 ipads simultaneously, they would probably take a while to charge up. It would be faster to charge 1 then the other, or charge 1 via USB and the other via the AC socket and the OEM charger.

I assume so, as long as the iPad is plugged into the "A" port. I charge both my iPhone and my iPad at the same time using the "A" port for the iPad and the "NA" port for the phone.

Not exactly sure how it shares out the power over the ports. I can say that you can charge an iPad and an iPhone at the same time using both ports. Though only one port will charge the iPad when both ports are in use.

The charging has nothing to do with the cable (given it's Apple certified), but instead the AC/DC adapter being used (ie, what the USB end is plugged into). Note, there is a maximum your device will be able to utilize anyway, so eventually the larger AC/DC adapter will not improve the charge rate. This cable will charge at EXACTLY the same rate as the OEM cable, as it's specified as 24AWG which is sufficient to support the 2.2A of max current for an iPad without a appreciable drop over the 3 feet.EDIT: Edited to be more clear and accurate.

According to Apple, iPads (as opposed to iPhones and iPod touches) are not designed to get enough power from a PC's USB port and should only be charged using the iPad's AC adapter in a wall outlet. This is Apple's design. You're unlikely to find a USB hub that will circumvent this limitation.
