You need a higher power USB socket than non Apple phones need.
Get something like a 3 Amp, 15 Watt USB socket with a lead attached that runs to 12V + & - (£8 to £10).
That takes care of the power supply aspect!
Then always use an Apple certified USB lead (as indeed you should no matter what the situation)...an Apple certified lead has a correctly chipped Lightning plug on it that will support any software updates & still work - unlike cheaper uncertified leads..
The packaging of such a lead will have the Apple "made for iPhone" type logo.
The Lightning tips on these leads & the right to use their logo are (apparently) actually supplied by Apple to manufacturers who meet Apple's criteria & are licensed by them.
That's the "not supported" aspect dealt with!
I have done this myself & it works just fine!
