Reply to Which MagSafe power bank brand are you choosing for your iPhone 14? by AptCovering

Here’s my take:

I tried the first Anker one; the black one. Then I tried the Apple MagSafe battery pack; didn’t work. Worse than Anker.

Then I tried Anker 622 and now I’m trying Anker 633.

The only difference is that this time I’m actually not relying on wireless charging as the main way anymore.

Initially, I thought it’ll be helpful when running errands because I hate cables but it kept throttling the phone and charging was slow.

I decided I’ll use the fastest possible charging with the Anker 633. Wireless charging will just be something nice to have (or in a pinch when I didn’t have a cable).

There’s another brand I was interested in but doesn’t have a stand and that’s Zendure. ➡️ I think good choice if you don’t need wireless or you don’t need a stand.

Reply to I'm leaning towards going back to Android.. by cveja007

I made the switch about 2 months ago myself, I had iPhone early till about the 4 and then switched to Android with the S4 all the way to the S21ultra. Yes there are things that Android does better and you have total free control over your phone. I thought I was going to miss those things but never happened. The keyboard, Ooh man I need a number row, don't miss it to much would be useful to have sometimes. I'm at the point where I just want something that works well with others, my family all had Iphones, wife and her family, my family I was the odd one out, and now its so much easier to communicate and send pictures with out losing the quality of the pics. So its just easier to use, and I love how when updates are available they are out day 1 and don't have to wait months to get an update. But if you miss it just go back, honestly who cares on here, its YOUR OWN preference and there is nothing wrong with that.

Not only that, but the Apple one is also the only one that prevents your phone from doing dumb things when you connect the battery.

With all the other battery packs, your phone thinks that it's connected to a wall charger, so it will start wasting power: updating apps, processing photos, running background tasks. When you connect the Apple battery pack, iOS acts as if it's still on battery power.

(You can verify this with the developer APIs.)
