B737 USB power

It’s not the cable but the usb socket

Except for the rather esoteric "USB restricted mode"

Yes but this usually does not affect simple charging rather communication to external devices.

usually does not affect simple charging

So they say. But there have been reports of USB charging not working due to that.

Those ports are low power but in this instance it's pretty clear the port was just broken. To be honest, I'm surprised I don't see many broken USB ports in planes, given every public USB-A charging port I come across in airport terminals seems to be broken (usually the plastic tongue inside has been bent)

What’s your first hand experience? Mine dies not support that proposal. Just under powered usb ports.

The discission above re-inforces my outlook that

I am totally disinterested in having to know what charges from where, using what make of cable etc. Stick one end into positive potential, the other end into negative potential and just carry some electrons between the two, FFS.

My loyalty to Apple is the same as my loyalty to airlines and hotel chains.

I love my iPhone, but run a MS Surface tablet and a Dell laptop. They all sync with each other, so I'm OK with it all.
