Power supplies are glued into iPads: didn't you know?
no they aren't. where did you get that insane idea? plus, what's inthat picture is not an ipad power supply anyway nor is there anyevidence of it being glued to an ipad.Whisky-davethe batteries inside an ipad, however, are glued (and not in all of them) for many reasons.battery != power supply.Eric Stevensnospam
Isn't it?
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.
the power supply refers to the part that plugs in the wall, not the battery.
Apple doesn't refer to them as a "power supply". Apple calls them a "Power Adapter". It adapts, or converts, the incoming power to the level that is required to charge the battery.
it goes by many names.
Where is an instance - other than in your writing - where it is used by someone with credibility and/or an Apple employee?
it also supplies power.No, it doesn't. It means that Google's algorithm picked up on the words "iPhone" and "power" and found the nearest probable inclusion of those words in a term. It has nothing - nothing - to do with "common usage".Tony Coopernospam

If you Google "iPhone power supply", you are redirected to "charging devices" and "power adapters".
https://www.apple.com/power-adapters/
which means that common usage is that power supply means the box that plugs into the wall.
google does that for a lot of search terms.JXC! It doesn't *prove* anything except that Apples uses "power adapter".Tony Coopernospam
I would not consider an adapter to be a power supply. The power adapter charges the battery, and the power the phone uses comes from the battery.
not always, and what you personally consider it to be does not matter.
your google search proves that power supply == power adapter.
Yes it does.Tony Coopernospam
The phone can be used with the adapter in use, or with a charger connected to a 12V system, but the power still comes through the battery. Without the battery in place, there is no way to power up the phone without some modification to the phone.
actually it doesn't.
when it's connected to a charger, it's *charging* the battery, not running from the battery.The battery is making the phone operational. The charger is charging the battery, but the power used when the phone is operational is from the battery. The charger is just replenishing the battery's power.
or to put it another way, energy is flowing into the battery, not out of it.You don't need to. I wrote "through the battery". Energy is also flowing out of battery to power the phone.
How many coach passengers did you ask?Tony Coopernospam
In any battery-powered device - like a drill or a portable vacuum - no one would consider the adapter used to charge the battery to be a power supply. It's called either a power adapter or a charging device.
sure they would.
You do come up with some doozies to defend your errors.
Wouldn't it be simpler just to admit "well, yeah, it's an adapter not a power supply, but i wasn't thinking right when i wrote that."
