Evolving USB power
I've no devices which can draw more than 1 Amp through a USB port, never the less my several outlets can handle 2.1a or 3.1a total. My favorite USB source is my Blue Seas: https://www.bluesea.co...

I hate to disappoint and frankly this isn't hardly worth the response, but Apple hasn't provided anything less than a 1A charger in years, if ever. Second, you need to invest in a good USB current meter and prove yourself wrong. I have a 1A charger (measured) and can easily rail it out running a constant on GPS on my 6, which is exactly why I'm now running dual 2.1 outputs. So do a little homework and quit knocking others toys unless you can back it up.
So then explain this using an iPhone 6+:
First pic was as I got into the car. Connected to the USB port in my 2010 Ford's Sync system (by all accounts a SLOW charger). Fired up Waze for the ride home and navigated. Second pic was when I pulled into the driveway.
So either the USB port in my Ford is awesome (doubtful as the charge time is slow) or you are wrong. My previous iPhone 4s showed similar traits.
With my Galaxy S5 plugged into the Ford port it would either hold steady (few times) or decrease in charge.
