iPad Pro 11 Charging?

My home has USB A ports built into wall electrical outlets. Can I charge my new iPad Pro 11 (2020) with just a USB A / USB C cable without using the iPad 18w power supply?


Thanks!

Seemingly no harm in trying, but I suspect you’ll find charging times very slow.

I’d not expect a 5W socket to charge. At all.

Use the 18W adapter (or higher), or upgrade the outlets.

USB-C charger quality varies widely, and there’s some very serious trash available on the market.
