Powerbanks with multiple ports rated at different Amperage: technical difference?
The only difference in these ports tend to be the resistors on the USB port's data pins. These resistors, likely the Apple Standard, are used to tell the cell phone at what rate it's allowed to charge at. That's it. There is rarely any actual current limiting circuitry in them. Both ports are physically and electrically directly tied to the same 5V source rail. Devices that do not use the data pins to detect or self-limit current, will pull what ever they can.

Caveat: This does not apply to smarter/newer power banks with active communication circuitry, as is required for QuickCharge/QC or other high speed charging standards.
