Can You Connect iPhone to iPad with a Cable for Charging?
An iPad has a larger battery capacity than an iPhone, and unlike iPhones, it isn't used continuously throughout the day. Therefore, there's a huge possibilty that you will still have some power left on your iPad when your iPhone's battery is dead. If you own an iPad that has a USB-C port, then you can definately use it to charge your iPhone. iPad models that have the USB-C port includes the following:
* iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation or later)
* iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later)
* iPad Air (4th generation or later)
* iPad mini (6th generation)
If you have an iPad model without the USB-C port, you will have to find other charging options for your iPhone. If you have an iPhone that has a Lightning port, make sure to use the Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable. You can also combine your Lightning to USB cable with the Apple USB-C to USB Adapter and connect the adapter to your iPad.
