does this charge via mini usb or apple's thunderbolt?

It charges via mini USB, however, I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you. It worked to charge my iPhone the first time I used it, but after that point, I could fully charge the case, however, the iPhone would not recognize it when connected.

I bought another one of these, and the new one charges via a Lightening cable; charges both the battery and the phone, very handy.

Although the mini-port cable looks like a thunderbolt, alas, it is not. I do not think it will work, but a quick call to apple support will get you your answer.

it charges very well. it can charge both at once. but it uses a standard micro usb connector, not the new apple connector.

When I plug another device into the A port, I notice a drastic difference in the charge. Yes it will still charge, but doesn't look to be quick. If I plug my apple devices into the NA port, it moves at a snail pace or won't charge at all. What would be 15-20% in 5 mins... is more like maybe 5% in 15-20mins. I would stick to plugging things into the appropriate port for optimal charge. I believe they have a model that only has A ports and/or only has NA ports.

Oscar is correct. The Thunderbolt port is also the minidisplay port. Just buy an inexpensive minidisplay port to display port adapter from Amazon or Monoprice.

We've used both chargers for apple iPods just fine. I think the "non apple" one may charge slower, but it was still faster than the computer usb.

Yes, the thunderbolt port on late 2011 Macbook Pro models doubles as a mini displayport.

I use the USB port on my IMAC to charge the computer. It synchronises via Bluetooth on the Iphone.

Mine only came with a USB charger. To wall charge I hear you can use an Apple converter, so hope that works.

They do not appear to be the same thing although they have the same plug. Here's is what Apple has to say: 16. Can I connect a Mini DisplayPort display to my Apple Thunderbolt Display for computers that support using more than one display? Mini DisplayPort displays will not function if connected to the Thunderbolt port of an Apple Thunderbolt Display. Displays connected via Mini DisplayPort video adapter or cable to the Thunderbolt port of an Apple Thunderbolt Display will not work. This is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219#1

it's thunderbolt version 1 which is more than performant enough for what the dock does. Thunderbolt 2 is backward compatible with 1. It does not come with the TB cable.

This is just a high-capacity charger with 2 USB slots. It's not Apple specific. Though I haven't tried it, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't charge Apple products in either slot.

It works fine with one USB port on my MacBook pro retina, so I would imagine that mac mini would have the same USB specs that can operate the unit...

I have a MAC Book Pro and it too has a thunderbolt port that I used to plug in the Belkin mini and it worked fine.

Yep - definitely. Thunderbolt supports Mini DisplayPort. I have quite a few people using these with Thunderbolt ports.
