Do female->male USB-USB power-only passthrough adapters exist? If I could buy a few from a trusted source like directly from the Apple store, I could use it to firewall my cables (never thought I'd have to do that).
As an added bonus, my iphone wouldn't automatically crank up itunes on my mac every single friggin time I plug it into the dock.
- wrboyce 7y agoYes, they simply(?) block the data pins and often go by the name "USB Condom".

- NullPrefix 7y agoYou're stuck with 5V at half Amp. Fast charging allows up to several Amps, but needs data pins to negotiate.
- banana_giraffe 7y agoHigher power versions of this concept exist that do the data negotiation for your device in response to negotiation from your device. "Plugable USB Universal Fast 1A" is one example, though in my experience, really using it is hit or miss. I've had better luck using a USB battery to "filter" USB connections in random rental cars.
- wiseleo 7y agoI have a device that mimics data pins while cutting them off internally. My phone charges quickly, but data lines are not connected. It's a Triplett Usb Bug, a mainstream brand product.
- kalleboo 7y agoI have a dollar store "iPad fast charging plug" which is basically a USB condom with a dumb resistor divider to tell Apple devices that they're safe to pull 2.4A.
