Does anyone know if you can charge the iphone with the ipad 10w charger without causing possible damage to the iphone? I have a 3G model.

It won't harm your iPhone if you use the iPad charger. The phone's built in charging circuitry will prevent any overcharging problems.

I have read that the New Ipad battery display shows 100% when the tablet is actually only 90% charged, after 5 1/2 hours. The Ipad takes another hour or so to make it to a full charge. This gives you extra time on your Ipad. So it appears Apple is fudging the battery indicator so you think it's fully charged at 5 1/2 hours. Seems a bit dishonest.

What's up with that??

**bump ** Any comments?

Have a look at this article: http://www.computerworld.com/s/arti...recise_iPad_battery_meter_says_it_s_by_design

It states that Apple has said this is by design. In other words, nothing to worry about....

Another point of view is that it will harm iPhone battery as iPad charger is 2.1 A and iPhone's only 1 A... I wouldn't take that risk, honestly.
