Apple had recently launched a new product called Ipad. The Ipad is a revolutionary product of this year which has made the headlines several times for its unique stylish features. There was a huge crowd in front of the stores to buy the product the morning it was launched. It is not because of the product features but because of the huge hype it had created. Consumers nowadays are crazy about latest technology they do no know the amount of money they are wasting for no reason. New technologies may not be as perfect as consumers think they are. There is always some bug in them which needs to be fixed.
Apparently Ipad has been reported to have a lot of charging issues according to consumers all over the world. The Ipad is a device which is in between a mobile phone and a laptop but what good it is if it is not able to be charged via a laptop. It has been reported that it is not charging even with Mac books. Iphones and IPods can be charged using any computer device which is also a non Apple product. They can be charged using a wall USB charger too and most of the consumer expected this out of the Ipad but much to the disappointment that is not the case. Hopefully Apple comes with a fix for this issue before it affects the sales of Ipad.
Apple has given the explanation that the Ipad needs an higher power USB drive to charge the device. An USB port of 10W is needed whereas the normal USB ports are only 5W. This is the main reason for the Ipad not to charge when plugged into the laptop or normal USB ports. They are designed in such a way where they can only be wall charged. But consumers are not satisfied as that is exactly the reason they chose a Ipad because they did not want to find a wall charger when they needed. For that they would prefer to use their laptops instead.
Apple has suggested few tips to charge the Ipad. One is where we can use the wall charger which is given along with the unit. The other is where we can use a high power USB connected to the computer to charge the Ipad. The charging of the Ipad takes place slowed when the consumer opts for the second method. If any other devices we use to try and charge the Ipad then a warning message will be displayed which shows that ‘charging is not supported with this accessory’.
Consumers should always be aware of the complete details of the products they buy before they buy it. Consumers are always amazed by new technologies and buy them immediately when they are launched. They do not wait for the reviews to come out before purchasing the products. The products generally have issues and to perfect any product it will at least take few months. So consumers should be aware that new technologies maybe latest but they are not always perfect.
