So, last week I was traveling and using a brand new 13inch MacBook Pro, with Touch Bar, and 12.9inch iPad Pro (first gen), a iPhone 7 Plus, and an Apple watch. \u00a0When I upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Touch bar I replaced all my travel cables with Apple USB-C cables, this would allow me to minimize the amount of dongles, etc. \u00a0So this trip was overseas, and I felt very happy that I had done this cable replacement to minimize the amount of adapters I needed and country specific adapters. \u00a0I had replaced the adapter on my 61W USB-C MBP Charger so that it could plug directly into local wall adapters, and I brought one 12W Adapter to I could charge my Apple Watch each day.<\/p>\n
Imagine my surprise when I plugged my iPad Pro into the USB-C plug on the MacBook Pro (turned on, plugged into, etc. to a 220V outlet) and it would not charge! \u00a0Here I am completely in the Apple ecosystem with the latest cables and devices (ok not the latest but only 1 get back) and my iPad won’t charge.<\/p>\n
I ended up doing a twitter help with @applesupport and getting a Genius appointment when I got back to the States. \u00a0At the Genius bar I was informed that the iPad Pro was NOT supported to charge on USB-C with the latest MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n
