I would posit that Android devices are actually worse historically than Apple ones. Many of them will not properly charge unless you either connect them to a charger manufactured by the device manufacturer, or to a PC/Mac (where they likely won't draw anything more than 500mA).
I've had far more luck using Apple devices with non-Apple chargers, than the other way around.

- zaarn 8y agoOh don't worry, Apple will now only produce lightning chargers and deliver phones with USB-C to lightning for charging.
