Are Apple and Android chargers all the same?
The iOS/Android Miracle Cable But we know you’re wondering how the 2-in-1 can work with Apple devices if it has a male micro-USB connector at one end. The answer is simple: the 8-pin charging connector on your iPad or iPhone is virtually identical to a standard micro-USB connector.
Are Apple USB chargers different?
The difference between either of those chargers and the 5-watt charger that comes with an iPhone will be just as dramatic. That’s because the difference between the iPhone and iPad adapters is the rated amperage. An iPad charge brick is rated to handle 2.1 amps, while the smaller iPhone charger is rated for just 1 amp.
Are Android charging ports interchangeable?

Can You charge an Android phone from an apple Charger?
My experience is that it does matter, but it’s not so simple, because not all Android devices are the same.

Plus, I’ve found that there is some variability among the Apple chargers.
