Not enough power to charge a phone?

Potato Head · Yesterday, 03:38 PM

I tried plugging in my regular iphone 13 into the cupholder USB charge port but didn't see any charging activity...is it a defective cable or are the USB-A just not compatible with charging the iphone 13? (I haven't tried the center console yet...looking for a usb-c charging cable at work)

ensuring the cable is not defective would be a great starting point. lol

my phone charges just fine from that port, but its a Pixel. Not sure why the brand would matter, well except Apple...always an issue although I'm typing this on a Macbook so I'm not an apple hater. I do normally use the port in the center armwrest. I have a usb stick with music in that cupholder port.
