Does it only charge 1 Apple device at a time? The reviews contradict the description...

It will charge older apple phones (like my iPhone 4S and earlier models) normally when connected to the 1A jack. The 2.1A jack is designed to charge newer iPhones, iPads, and iPad Minis that use the 8-pin mini connector. It will charge these in about 2-3 hours, in my experience. You CAN connect them to the 1A jack, but this is the same as connecting them to an older iPhone charger: they will charge slowly, often taking 6-8 hours (or more!). The top jack is the high-powered jack, the bottom jack is the same as jacks that people have been using for the last 6 years or so for most phones and other devices. It may seem limiting to only have one jack, but if you 'top off' your devices, charging them from around 40% to around 80% as experts recommend with newer Lithium batteries, you can do this in two hours or less. If you need a charger with a pair of 2.1 A jacks, they are more expensive, less common, and should be a much higher quality device than a cheap 1A charger. Don't buy a cheap 2.1A charger! You can change a few components inside so it will handle more power, but if you don't build a better device to properly handle that power, you risk fires and damage to your devices (as you may have seen recently on tech news sites).

Hi, Yes it does charge my iPad Air and iPhone 5 together, but it charges slow. Let me know if you need more info.

There is only one USB port so you can only charge both devices at the same time if you have a splitter. Otherwise you can only charge one device at a time.

can charge an iPod and iPhone 4S at the same time so I would assume that it would charge 2 iPads

I don´t have 2 iPhones, so I can´t answer equivocally. However, I have charged both my iPad and iPhone at the same time, and I have not concentrated on which output I was using, so I have charged the iPhone with the 2.1 amp. I have not experienced any problem.

I use this purely as a charger not as a USB hub. The key is being BC 1.1 compliant. I charge an iPad and iPad mini at the same time. It can pump 2.5 amps max across all ports. It will charge all 4 devices at normal USB rates but if you only hook up 2 devices they should both charge twice as fast! (1000 mA rate)

1.) I didn't try syncing multiple devices simultaneously but it will sync to multiple devices. 2.) It is a standard mini USB 2 connection. 3.) It does work while charging.

Yes. My wife and I own four iOS devices between us: An original iPad, an iPad 3, an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 5c. We can and usually do charge all four at once.

Yes in fact you can use it as a charging port for your devices. I went on a road trip and used it to charge multiple devices simultaneously. It does not matter if the devices are Apple or not, they their own charger but the other end is a regular usb plug.

Yes. I have 2 iphones and an iPad. Everything can be charged. Port 1 is for the iPad (full speed charge).

It says you are supposed to be able to but I keep finding if I have my ipad2 charging, the other slot doesn't work. You can charge 2 phones at the same time though, or 1 iphone and another small device.

I tried charging two at once and it didn't work. I think what was really intended is the one mini/micro whatever it is connection on the face is the only charging connection... On the positives, its a neat little device and I do mean little, the power adapter is much bigger than the hub.. I would still recommend buying it just based off its overall size and portability, I just kind of like the thing... Sorry no I dont think its capable of charging two devices at once.

From what I can see , it can charge 2 iPads , a Samsung tablet , iPhone & a Android type phone at the same time without being overloaded .Each of the devices draw different amounts of power, each specific slot is made to handle a certain device. I'm not a expert at this , but hope this has been helpful !

It has 2 ports that specifically say iPhone or iPad. These ports charge the devices quickly. The other 2 ports are for other devices, i.e., Kindle, wireless keyboard. They do charge the Apple products but very slowly so I wouldn't recommend.

I charge both my iPad and my iPhone. It's a standard USB that charges any phone. For me I can get about 2-3 on just my iPhone.

I have charged 2 iphones and 2 ipads all at the same time. This is for the older iphones with the 30 pin power connection but it looks like you can buy a separate adapter for the new iphone lightning connection.

No, mine wouldn't even charge one. When I looked, the ipad indicator said "not charging". It was at 70%, but I don't know where it was when I first plugged it in. Neither outlet worked - same message for both. Maybe I just got a bad unit...?
