I have a Baseus Magsafe powerbank, 6000mAh, without kickstand. It charges my iPhone 14 Pro at reasonable rate (it’s 7.5w. Only Apple’s $99 charges at 15w) and has enough power to top me up each day for at least two days without charging it up. Magnet is strong enough that it doesn’t slip off when I put it in my jean pocket.

If the Siri trick fails, try turning the phone off then dunk it into lukewarm water and turn it on while submerged. Keep under water until Apple icon has been on screen for 15 seconds. If it doesn't work, or the Apple icon doesn't stay on for the full 15 seconds, try the process again. It's called a wet reset. It'll clear the PRAM cache from the solenoid boot disk and you'll be good to go.

It’s convenient

MagSafe is rock solid for me…

I thinking of upgrading from a base iPhone 13 (128gb) to an iPhone 14 pro (256gb). Mostly for the Cameras and the promotion display. Should I go in or wait for the 15?

I am still not able to clear 197 messages but all are read and I cannot see under any tab which is unread but when I ask siri, there are 42 conversations which are unread. Any help for this?

I'm looking to purchase a 1tb 13 pro max or a 1tb 12 pro max since I still need a sim tray.

There seems to be a ~$300-$400 price difference between the 13 pro max and the 12 pro max from looking at various websites, swappa, gazelle, trademore, amazon, archive pages of Apple's refurb site (since 13 pro max is out of stock).

I plan on keeping the phone for ~4-5 years.

The biggest difference between the 12 pro max and the 13 pro max which might justify the price difference to me are 1. faster chip 2. 120hz 3. better battery life.

Unsure if these three differences are enough to justify the price difference.

I switched recently and here’s some things that come to mind:

• Not every android app has an iOS version
• Even if an iOS version exists, it doesn’t mean you can always migrate your data. For example: WhatsApp can only migrate your chat history during the setup of the phone and using the move to iOS app. Once the phone has been set up, it’s too late. The chat history of the messaging app Signal can not be migrated between iOS and Android. Microsoft authenticator can not migrate your authentication codes so you have to set them up from 0 (cannot export > import and it saves the cloud version differently for iOS and android
• The notification management on iPhone is a mess. You have to manage it on a per-app basis (just getting used to) but they way it shows and keeps notifications is just… terrible. I was quite shocked about this and still frustrated
• lack of freedom (f.e positioning shortcuts Home Screen. Due to this I chose to have almost no icons and use the search function for everything
• no fingerprint sensor, but the facial Id works surprisingly well (and smooth)
• app specific: I have Reolink camera’s and the iOS version doesn’t support PiP video on screen (even though some other apps like Plex somehow managed to do it). Not sure what the exact reason is but Reolink support said it was due to the OS
• MagSafe is really neat and handy

And my biggest frustration: no universal back gesture on the right side of the screen. There’s a gesture on the left side (but I’m right handed) and there’s some apps that don’t support gesture. In this case you need to press the X or Close button which is always at the left top corner which forces me to use 2 hands (small hands). Hands down almost made me go back to android.

Anker has 2 entirtely different products named the Anker 633. Honestly this alone makes me hate buying their products, even though they're good.

Just pick normal names if you can't keep your numbers straight Anker.

Stay away from otterbox. The magnet is weak

No

Barely get 50% out of the apple version an it gets my phone super hot I hate try not to use it

Don’t forget your 2FA stuff. If you use Authy or 1Password, great. If not, set up the 2FA app on your new iPhone BEFORE you wipe your Android.

No

No

good god no! there are still so many things they can copy from android.

Not directly. The color used for the dock and any folders is determined by iOS based on the colors of the wallpaper. So you’d have to change the wallpaper.

I don’t think you can officially

Have the Anker 633 version with the kickstand (doesnt come with the dock) and it’s been great! Using it right now as I type.

Yeah what I meant is they communicating and possible the communication is poor not as in mfi certified ones

No, only press 1 button at a time, up volume then let go , down volume then let go, THEN press and hold power until the Apple logo appears

No

Yeah get a good 20 watt or higher USB-C PD charger and it should get up to 80% fast. After 80% it doesn't matter because the speed slowed way down to prevent battery damage an wear. The 30W chargers might even get you to 22 or 23 watts max charging rate briefly if you want to push the limits but really 20W is almost just as good. You might want 9V volt 3Amp support (27 watt) to get there. The Anker nano 30W should this but really any problem will.

If you get a cable like this, it has a built in power meter. Very handy for knowing the performance you're getting.

The Apple one. Doesn’t heat up and it shows battery percentage.
