Fast Charging on iPad 6th base

Does the iPad 6th gen support 20W fast charging or does it make a difference? I couldn’t find precise answers on google.

iPad, iPadOS 15

Whilst iPad6 can be charged with a Power Adapter rated at 20W or greater, there is no benefit. iPad6 does not support USB-PD (Power Delivery) Fast Charging.


The maximum supported charging rate for iPad6 is 12W (i.e., 2.4A @5V).

The 20W Power Adapter is fully compatible (and safe to use) with your iPad6 - or any model of iPad/iPhone. Your iPad will charge at its maximum supported charging rate.


When using the 20W USB-C Power Adapter, you will of course require a USB-C to Lightning charging cable.
