Power supplies are glued into iPads: didn't you know?

nospam
no they aren't. where did you get that insane idea? plus, what's in

that picture is not an ipad power supply anyway nor is there any

evidence of it being glued to an ipad.

the batteries inside an ipad, however, are glued (and not in all of them) for many reasons.

battery != power supply.

Isn't it?

nospam
no, it isn't.

Why isn;t it. The battery is the power supply it's what supplies power to the circuitry so it is the power supply.

nospam
the power supply refers to the part that plugs in the wall, not the battery.

Not in the real world where we need to distiquish between such things. The part that plugs into the wall is the power supply unit or PSU and adapter combined, because it adapts the mains power to DC that the laptop uses to run the laptop and charge the battery. Some call them power bricks.

Anything that supplies the power can be called the power supply.
