Reply to Easiest way to transfer from Android to Apple by [deleted]

You’ll likely regret it. If you’re used to the customization Android provides, you’re in for a rude awakening on iOS. You still can’t move your icons where you want on iOS 16 in 2023.

Don’t get me wrong, iOS is solid and it works. It’s more stable than Android in my opinion. It works but you’re going to use it exactly how Apple says you’re going to use it.

Reply to comment by nitroben2 in Which MagSafe power bank brand are you choosing for your iPhone 14? by AptCovering

I could not agree more! Many times the only way to know is to take it apart and look at the marking on the battery cells. However you also need to look at the wiring of the battery cells. For example that apple battery pack actually uses 3.7v battery cells, but has two is series for the total 7.4v. Other brands, like Anker use one larger cell or several 3.7 cells in parallel. Knowing the number of cells, their configuration and their individual rating is all needed to truly understand the battery bank’s raw capacity.

However, raw capacity doesn’t mean much. It’s the net capacity the battery bank can output. Some brands use more efficient circuity than others. Therefore it is entirely possible a lower [raw] rated battery bank can outperform one with more raw battery capacity.

Thank goodness for YouTube channels that take everything apart and do rigorous testing.

Wish manufacturers listed raw wh rating and charging efficiency, but we are stuck with less meaningful, but bigger, more impressive sounding numbers.

Reply to Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator

I’m sure the question has been asked a thousand times, I couldn’t find an answer :( Is there a USB-A to magnet charger for iPhone 13? I have the C plug chargers in the house but only have an A or cigarette outlet in my truck. 2015 F150 if that matters. Just wondering what people do?

Reply to iPhone 15 mini (SE 4?) by Jableckey

I think the 13 mini is pretty much all they could do with tech at the moment… they can’t improve the battery, or the camera really and what else is left?

There simply isn’t any spare room inside the mini chassis. I think they should have just called it mini without a number, so it could have not appeared dated for those who want the latest iPhone.

They still sell the 13 mini, so people still have the option…

Reply to comment by stpfun in Phone keeps popping up with this error, but it's not wet or ever has been? by very_cozy

Woah that's cool stuff. I have an app on my phone that tells my current charging stats so I'll let my phone drop down to 5% or so today and see how many watts it's pulling.

At lower battery it really is fast I can leave it on for 5-10 minutes and be back upto 50% after that it starts to charge a bit slower.

BTW I've never owned an iPhone but I like to stay educated... How long do the latest iPhones take to charge? 10W sounds like nothing but I also believe iPhones have significantly smaller batteries/better optimization than Androids.
