iOS 16.5 Hardware and Software Architecture (Unix Derivative)?

My older Apple device with iOS 16.5 charges fine. However, the newer device with same 'software' reveal that its NOT charging. Both was using the same Apple adapter outputting 12 watts through Lightning. From a security stand point I understand that maybe components of the newer device need to reject high voltage, surges, and/or other problems. But was it necessary to reject 12 watts of electricity though Lightning especially through a high strength surge protector in an area were there is very little fluctuations or was the Unix derivative software tampered?

Yes I tried it multiple times and it failed on the newer device. Yes I check the ports and etc. It charges when I use the newer Lightning cable.

Anyway, as for the Lightning hardware there should be versions numbers like HDMI version 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 thru 2.1 to show capacity and/or quality. This is standard technical writing.

And as for 16.5 ‘iOS’ software that was rollout this year. A dialog box to warn customers that the device recognizes the electric current however is not enough, please upgrade accordingly would have retain a lot of paying customers instead of the ambiguity of just not charging.

I think kids can code such a petty logic in plain American English for basic disclosure.

Just show the lack of quality control and basic computer knowledge discussed even before the freshman year of Computer Science.
