I forgot about USB-C. I don't know when we'll start seeing those but the socket type should be included in our list of possibilities. Agree too about the charging current. Even though quite useful, I suspect that information will be tough to gather. My iPhone was taking so long to charge in the USB outlet at SEATAC I pulled it and used the AC power adapter instead. The USB direct socket was obviously the low amperage type.
