Functional path diagram. Arrows show the stated role and direction; they do not report an observed connection.

What the path requires

  • Appropriate identified charging cables for each device.
  • Read the occupied-port case instead of a single-port maximum.
  • If one needs more power, remove the other device and its cable as Apple directs.

Different companions change the allocation

Apple gives a different category case for iPhone plus Apple Watch/AirPods: up to 27.5W and 7.5W. Do not apply that split to the iPhone-plus-iPad case.

Phone no longer meets a desired fast-charge condition

Documented outcome: Documented power-sharing explanation

  • iPhone and iPad both attached.
  1. Record both devices and both cables.
  2. Compare the two-port allocation with the exact fast-charge requirement.
  3. Test a single device only if following the manufacturer procedure; this run did not do so.
