Will the USB ports charge an iphone? One of the reviews mentioned that it does not and I wanted to make sure.

Yes, we have purposely purchased several hundred of these units to place in our homes for our members so they can charge their I Phones, I Pads, or any type of unit that has a USB connection.

The USB ports will charge an iPhone just fine. We have had many of these units installed at our office used by a multitude of different devices and none of them have had a problem.

No, the iPhone does not have a micro USB or regular USB, at least not the 4 or 4s. If they did have the port, apple is extremely propriety and would most likely not play well with this device.

Your iPhone will automatically adjust the voltage and current, but you will still need the complete cable. They do contain USB ports.

Yes, I currently use this device to charge my iPhone 6. This will charge anything that has a USB charging cable. I also use this to charge my iPad, gopro camera and several other devices.

It charged my iphone 4 and it should charge the 5. it is a USB connection. I have an Iphone 5 now and will give it a try this weekend.

I don't think so, but it has worked well for me, amazingly I bought this in December 2013 & I use it every evening to charge my phone or iPad, it charges quickly even when both ports are used, it's the one I take traveling as the prongs fold in & it has 2 USB ports for charging & I paid $4.99 for it, I would absolutely buy again!

This uses standard USB 5 V/ 1 A conversion. You'll need to have an iPhone that accepts a USB cable. I'm sure Apple makes a USB cable. So, it will work.

There is one USB port designated for iPad and another for iPhone, with the others designated for non-iOS devices. I have not plugged my iPhone into the iPad slot. However, I have charged my iPad and my iPhone at the same time.

no, I have this unit and an iPhone 3G, and it does not charge it. I think there is a newer model out, looks similar, that might work with the iPhone.

Okay, so I have a powered usb hub, but my computer must be on for this to work. So... I tried out my iPad wall charger - -worked, but fan got a bit noisy so I did some investigating. A normal computer USB puts out much less current than an iPad adapter. The iPhone adapter is closer to the computer output and should be okay. Since there is no way for the fan to regulate how much current is being fed to it, it could possibly burn out with the higher amperage (I am guessing). The iPhone charger is much less and more than adequate for this fan, since it does run well on the USB port alone. Best use - connect to computer. Second best, a phone charger that is close to the rating on the USB port. Okay, so I have a powered usb hub, but my computer must be on for this to work. So...

I believe so. The USB charges an iPhone, so I don't see why it wouldn't charge it from the car charger (which has a step-down to ensure the 12Volt battery is not the charge you're getting). This little unit is SO useful that I'd still buy it - even if it didn't do that (but I'm pretty sure it will work for you for that use).

This only has one charging USB port. If you used a splitter it may work, but it may also draw too much current from the device and not charge either phone. I have not tried it, but I would not recommend it. I have found that this charges an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy S4 very quickly, only a couple of hours for a full charge. Make sure that the switch is set to the right voltage though.

You can power the USB port of this CEF23 using alkaline batteries. However, I'm not sure if you can use it to recharge your iPhone. The CEF23's USB port is only rated for 0.5A, while the iPhone requires higher current (~1A?). So I don't don't know how the iPhone will react if it asks for 1A but only gets 0.5A. You have to try it yourself to find out (and let us know if something BAD happens).

If your device can be charged from a normal USB 1.2, 2.0 or 3.0 port on a PC or AC to USB charger then this device will charge it. I'm very happy with how fast it charges my IPhone and IPad.

Yes it does charge the iPhone 5, I have an adapter to micro USB and together they work wonders The charger charges the iPhone faster than when connected to an outlet.

Short answer is, I don't know for sure. I recently tried bringing just my USB cables for my iPad and iPhone, and with both plugged into the USB ports, had bad luck. In the last few days, I tried the same thing, but with my iPhone plugged in to a USB, my iPad plugged into one A/C outlet and my laptop plugged into another A/C outlet and everything seemed to charge normally. So, part of my goal was leaving behind the iPad cube, but I think I still need it.

It is not specifically made for an iPhone (no lightning connector). But you can charge any USB device including iPhones by plugging their factory charging cable into this devices USB port. But if you are looking for a portable charger that directly fits the iPhone 5 lightning connector then you will have to look elsewhere. Hope this helps clear things up a little.
