Does the Apple iPad Pro (2022) have wireless charging?

Apple's new iPad Pro (2022) seemed to land out of nowhere, and if you've had your eye on the most powerful iPad in Apple's lineup, you'll probably want to check if it has wireless charging before parting with your hard-earned cash.

Wireless charging isn't a common feature on tablets, and we have good news and bad news when it comes to Apple's latest iPad Pro.

The bad news

Let's start with the bad news: the Apple iPad Pro (2022) doesn't have wireless charging. There were rumors that the next iPad Pro would come with wireless charging and MagSafe, but that never happened. With that said, most tablets on the market don't offer wireless charging, so you're not really missing out.

Is this relevant?

Now for the good news: Since most of us have never owned a tablet without wireless charging, chances are you won't miss it here.

The new Apple iPad Pro (2022) comes with a 28.65 watt-hour battery in the 11-inch model and a 40.88 watt-hour battery in the 12.9-inch model, which are two beefy battery cells.

While battery life remains unchanged from last year's model, Apple still promises a solid 10 hours of use on the Wi-Fi variant and nine hours on the cellular model.

This means you can charge your tablet via the included USB-C cable in the morning and still be ready when you get home from the office in the evening, with juice to spare.

Which tablets have wireless charging?

If you absolutely can't live without wireless charging, you also won't find it in any of Apple's offerings or most Samsung tablets.

But there are some tablets out there that offer wireless charging. Amazon's Fire HD 8 Plus and Fire HD 10 Plus have wireless charging, though neither are as powerful as the iPad Pro (2022).

If you prefer to use a foldable phone as a tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 supports wireless charging and runs Android 12L, making multitasking easy.

Don't have a wall charger?

If you don't have a wall charger and your tablet doesn't have wireless charging, there are plenty of other ways to keep it charged:

• Connect your iPad Pro (2022) to your MacBook or computer with the included USB-C cable.
• Use a portable charger to keep your battery full – we've rounded up some of the best for you.
• Grab a car charger if you're traveling with your iPad Pro.
• Finally, you can always grab a solar charger if you want to charge your devices in an environmentally friendly way, although they aren't as efficient as traditional chargers.

While it's a little disappointing that the new iPad Pro (2022) didn't come with rumored wireless charging and MagSafe, it's definitely not a problem if you're thinking about spending your money on Apple's latest M2 tablet.
