Can I use a USB Hub?

[abredt]

We have a lot of iPhone, iPad devices.

Can I use a USB hub to charge them from a wall outlet?
From a computer USB port?

Thanks, cb

Yes you can, I do it all the time from iMac USB

You could get a powered USB hub to use. The beauty of it is that you won't need to have it connected to a PC to get power for charging.

A powered one on a Mac would do. On a Windows PC, it's not the best of ideas as iOS/iTunes/Mac-based software aren't friendly by default, let alone hardware and software together.

As for charging using a hub through an outlet, not unless the hub supports the current and voltage of multiple devices simultaneously. Plugging the hub into a stock OEM iPhone A/C adapter is ill-advised.
