Yeah now, not 10hрs ago :)

iOS 16.4 is not beta software. It’s full release today.

Apple

The Anker 633 does have a built in kickstand. And it’s great.

I use the Apple one. It’s great if u start w/ it attached to your phone. Extends my battery life by about 2~3hrs. It’s also the smallest out of everything. I can see the charge levels of it too on the phone.

IMO if ur looking for something to just charge your phone and other things then just get a normal power bank. They’re cheaper and there’s efficiency loss by wireless charging. You can just charge 20W and then put the charger away, reducing bulk. The MagSafe battery pack fulfills a certain niche in some people’s lives which is reflected in the rather high price. You can find it on sale sometimes at Target

It’s officially been released. You can do OTA updates now

I'm use Baseus magsafe powerbank for my iPhone 12

I have the same phone and use it when I travel, going to theme parks, and basically anything that has a long line(s)

I have a defective charging port, happens to me every now and then. I just override and everything is fine

I traded my 13pro for a 14pro with the eligible trade-in credit. They said I could get $600 for the condition my phone was in (perfect). Now upon receiving it saying that they've adjusted the trade-in credit by $400 less because they state the display is not functional. The phone was in perfect condition when it left my hand and now they are saying the screen doesn't work. Has anyone dealt with this, or have any tips on how I should approach it? I was hesitant at first because I've never done a trade-in credit, and honestly for my perfectly fine 13pro a $190 credit is not worth it for me.

Try using it when your phone is at 100%. When your phone drops below 90% the battery pack will charge it back to around 90% then stop charging. This is basically using it as a battery extender so at the end of the day when the battery pack is dead, your phone will still be at around 90% which is cool

iPhone 15 series are coming w USB C

Storage in an iPhone is strictly non upgradeable. I would probably be looking at more storage as a baseline. 128gb as a minimum.

The 12 is a solid device and will probably last you a long time, especially if you’re willing to replace the battery.

If you can afford to pay more, the 13 has better cameras and battery. The 14 is not a particularly good value proposition over the 13 so only consider it if you can get a good deal.

This is a hell of an under rated comment.

Depends on if you can wait 6 months on your current phone. There’s always going to be another phone on the horizon, and the 15 is all rumours at this point.

Upgrade now if your current android is going to be a severe detriment to your life, the 14 is no slouch. Wait if you can wait.

I have the Anker one. Most of the time I basically just use it as a pass through charger. Don’t need a special brick to get the charge speed out of it. Just throw it on any USB C cord. The phone charges at full speed and the battery takes whatever it can get from the power source

Portable use. It’s great for short periods of time. I love it can keep my AirPods charged. Most valuable benefit is you don’t need to bring any cords. I typically use it when I leave the house for a handful of hours and my phone is at a borderline level. Like 30%

Going somewhere like Disneyworld all day and heavy usage, it’ll struggle. Could be just enough. It doesn’t hold enough to charge 0-100%. I’d say like 60-70% probably. I’d end the day less than 20%. My phone would die before I get home if I didn’t have a charger in the car. Very rare circumstances though

This is not true at all. MagSafe is useful for convenience, not charging speeds. All iPhone models are capped at 15W charging via MagSafe wireless charging (assuming you used at least a 20W charging brick). If you use wired charging, you'll get the full 20W charging rate from your 20W charging brick.

Apple's own MagSafe battery pack tops out at 7.5W when charging on-the-go, primarily due to heat concerns. You only get 15W when the battery pack is plugged into a power outlet that's at least 20W. If you go wired, plenty of battery packs off Amazon will offer you 10W+ for very cheap.

TL;DR: MagSafe is for convenience. It is not faster than wired charging.

I'm surprised to see as many non apple magsafe responses. I figured most if not all responses would be the official apple magsafe. That being said, consider the otterbox 5k mAh in your list as it allows you to charge the iphone wirelessly as well as the battery pack. It's pretty much double sided so you can charge the magsafe battery with a magsafe charger.

Same for me. I can see this being more useful for people who don't typically carry around handbags/satchels. If you are, though, there's just no advantage to carrying a battery-powered wireless charger: just go wired. It's much faster, generates minimal heat, and can top your phone off multiple times (depending on your battery pack).

Same reason why I use wired charging in my car, even though it has wireless charging available. I'd... rather not have my phone get hot to the touch from wireless charging + the sun beaming into my car, especially if wireless CarPlay is active. Wired will charge it faster and be cooler, so what's the point?

Depends on your iPhone model but it can also slow it down if you've got a lot of tabs open.

ut also dependant on phone network, wifi and private relay definitely slows it down.

Happening on or off wifi?

Off wifi, web page load speed is entirely dependent on your carriers network speed, how good your connection is, and how congested the network is in your specific area.

The same applies to your wifi connection, but usually wifi will tend to be faster and more reliable.

For example, I use Visible, a low cost Verizon alternative. Every now and then I will have slow or “throttled” mobile network speeds because the visible network may have lower bandwidth priority vs the actual over-priced Verizon network.

Got the belkin 3 in 1 cause i have a watch and airpods. Does the job but 150 bucks is a bit steep
