The latest Apple event offered us a new iPad, the iPad Pro 9.7 model, as well as a series of new accessories. For example we saw the USB Type C to Lightning adapter debuting, priced at $25. Well, now that very same device appears to have changed the game when it comes to juicing up an iPad.

Apple sells its own branded USB Type C power brick with a 29W throughput and the new accessories seem to make up fine with the iPad Pro 12.9 inch.

The folks of 9to5Mac reviewed the charger with the iPad Pro and reported a 64% jump in speed compared to the usual 12W power brick. For example the standard charger offered a 5% charge after 20 minutes, while the new model goes all the way up to 14% in the same amount of time. Of course, Apple could have bundled the better charger with the $800 tablet, but they wanted to make an extra buck on the potent power brick…
