Apple still hasn\u2019t brought wireless charging to the iPad, but Kuxiu\u2019s new charger<\/a> brings similar functionality and convenience to the iPad Pro and iPad Air. Like wireless chargers for the iPhone, the M30 magnetically attaches to the back of supported iPad models, but instead of transferring power through wire coils and induction, it uses the same Smart Connector pins that iPad accessories like the Magic Keyboard<\/a> rely on.<\/p>\n

The M30 Magnetic Smart Connector Charger is available now through Kuxiu\u2019s website for $39.99 and is compatible with iPad models that feature, and can charge through, the Smart Connector on the back. These include the M4 iPad Pros as well as many versions of the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, plus the M3 and M2-powered 11-inch iPad Air and 4th and 5th-gen versions of the 10.9-inch Air.<\/p>\n

In addition to potentially being easier to pop on and off the iPad than plugging in a USB cable, the M30 charger also frees up the tablet\u2019s lone USB-C port. When traveling, I frequently connect an iPad Pro to a hotel TV over USB-C to watch Netflix and Disney Plus, but that typically requires the use of a hub<\/a> for connecting both an HDMI cable and power cord to the iPad\u2019s USB-C port at the same time. The M30 removes the need for a hub, assuming you just need to connect a single accessory, like an external drive.<\/p>\n

The M30 will also charge certain iPad models faster than even the new Qi2.2 wireless charging standard<\/a> can. Supported iPad models using Apple\u2019s M2 and M3 chips will charge at up to 18W, but those with an M4 chip can charge at 35W speeds. For comparison, the iPhone 16 lineup can be wirelessly charged at up to 25W speeds using the new version of the MagSafe charging puck<\/a> that Apple introduced in September.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
