I have an iPhone, iPad, and a Mac and when I connect my phone or iPad to the Mac, it automatically starts charging. But why? Why not the other way around?
My thinking is that Mac’s have a bigger battery? But still what about that makes the Mac a charging source in the presence of an iPhone/ iPad?

Software in the power management of the phone forces the charging circuit to be one way. This means that the phones battery will only be able to receive a charge from the usb socket, and not go the other way.
