Recently I took a drive with a friend, and wanted to charge my LG G3 in his car. He has a new iPhone 6 Plus. So I asked him if he has a USB charger, and he says yes. I took his charger, and typically Apple, it has a different connector on the phone end, not a micro USB. So I told him he does not have a USB charger. He said, look, it's USB where it plugs into the socket of the charger plugged into the cigarette lighter, of course it's USB /sigh :D

For me, having a USB charger means a micro USB connector that can plug into most Android and BlackBerry phones. I never thought that some people think about it the other way around.
 
^I have a 5 port one, rated at 6.3 amps (or something like that) with 2amps max per port. That means we can only get fast charging when there is only three devices plugged in. I bought it from TakeAlot - remember to buy a pack of cables as well, I assumed it would come with 5 USB - microUSB cables, but it didn't :)

Technically, he's right. But next time to assert Android's dominance over Apple, you should key his car!!! /trots away :p
