It's not a battery charger, regardless of what people call it.

Wow I agree with you here.

Wow, then maybe I'm wrong.

Sandman
The battery is not a PSU either,

Whisky-dave
A battery can be said to be suplying power to the device.

Supplying power != Power supply. Then again, it was Eric's claim initially, and he is a laymen so it isn't odd that he would mix these things up.

Sandman
the PMIC (power management integrated circuit) chip in the iPad is a the PSU.

Whisky-dave
That is the unit it is NOT the power supply as it doesn't have any power

A PSU never has any power. A PSU has a power input and a power output. It never has any power of its own.
