Do portable charges prioritize iphones charging speed over androids? (lemmy.world)

My xiaomi portable fast charger clearly charges my girlfriend's iPhone faster than my high end android device. Doesn't matter which port, which cable or which android phone. It starts by charging fast but as soon as I link her phone the fast charging speeds go straight to hers and mine just chargers very very slowly.

I've got the impression that this may be on purpose or at least has some clear explanation.

Any thoughts?

Just a note, I'd recommend against fast charging unless you need it. It's not great for the battery of the phone. I know my phone automatically slow charges when I plug it up at night because it assumes it will stay plugged up for a few hours.
