Based on another answer here "I think the issue is when you use both ports, it won't be enough strength to charge a iPad or iPhone." Really?

I have another charger that has four USB ports and it is charging a 3DS, Beats Pill, iPhone, and iPad. No problems at all with it. This particular one is just poorly made.

I use both ports every day to simultaneously charge an iPad and iPhone. There is plenty of strength to charge both.

No, I used them independent of the other! The iPhone jack did not charge ever! But the seller sent me a new one at no cost and it works perfect!

I don't have an iPad 3, but I don't think you would be able to charge both, simultaneously, from the USB ports. They're standard 1500ma ports and iPad 3 requires a 2100ma port to work. You could use an iPad brick and a USB port to charge both.

You can charge an iPad on the right and an iPhone on the left (simultaneously), but an iPad will not charge on the left port (regardless of whether there is another device on the right port)....

I believe you can charge both at the same time but it will charge one of them slower. There is one of the ports that is specifically designed for apple products like the iPad and the iPod and the other port is designed for other products. My understanding is that you can charge apple items on the nonapple port but it is slower. Unfortunately, this is in my office and I'm at home. I'll try both tomorrow and add more information at that point - but I'm 90% certain you can, but the one item will charge slower.Hope this helps

can charge an iPod and iPhone 4S at the same time so I would assume that it would charge 2 iPads

It can charge both devices at the same time. You have to use the 2.1 amp side for the ipad leaving the other port open for the phone.

This will be able to charge your iPad. iPhone requires less amperage than the iPad to charge, so this will charge you iPhone as well.

No. The base is constructed so that one iPad and one iPhone can be charged at the same time. Another option is that two iPhones could be charged at the same time.

It is designed to charge an iPad and iPhone. It will be a bit slower if you charge two iPads as the iPad needs more amps than an iPhone. You should use a more powerful charger with 4.2 amps.

Definitely. It's designed to charge an iPhone (or a different smartphone of similar capacity) and a tablet at the same time, with an "S" slot and an "A" slot, one for a tablet and one for a smartphone. However, the max Amps the entire charger outputs at once is 2.4 amps, and amps are what actually adds charge to your device's battery. One slot gets priority for amps when both are being used but I'm not sure which one.But basically yes it should definitely be able to charge those two phones at the same time.

I have not tried to charge 2 iPads at one time but I am sure it could. I have charged my iPad & iPhone at the same time and it does work for that.

Yes. But you have to pay attention to which ports are used. Only one port will charge the iPad. Either will charge the iPhone. I just confirmed with my iPad 2 and iPhone 5.

You have to connect two different wires in two different outputs. But you can not charge two identical devices. For example, two iPhones or two iPads. iPad must be connected to 2A output only, and iPhone to 1A output only.

Yes, we have been charging 2 iPhones with no problem. One can even pull a phone and do an iPod.The adapters have gone bye-bye and we have no problems.Gerry

I assume so, as long as the iPad is plugged into the "A" port. I charge both my iPhone and my iPad at the same time using the "A" port for the iPad and the "NA" port for the phone.

According to Apple, iPads (as opposed to iPhones and iPod touches) are not designed to get enough power from a PC's USB port and should only be charged using the iPad's AC adapter in a wall outlet. This is Apple's design. You're unlikely to find a USB hub that will circumvent this limitation.

Sorry, I cannot really help. I have no devices like iPads that take more current to charge. Mine is used to charge 2 iPod Touches and two vanilla (old, not smart) phones. I also use it to charge a Kindle and occasionally another device or two. None of them high power. For my purposes, it works great.
