    Does anyone know how to determine the charging power of a USB-A to Lightning cable when plugged into a Mac mini?

    I've never paid much attention when my phone is on the charging dock, but it seems to charge absurdly slowly.

    I honestly think it's slower than even the small square charging plugs. By comparison, I got a new wall charger with 2 USB-C plugs and one USB-A, and it's 65 watts. Last week I timed it and it charged from 22% to 78% in 30 minutes flat.

      4.5 watts. Good grief. No wonder it takes forever.      mg33
