Looks like it broke rather then 'vanish'

Maybe put the actual question in the title.

I personally take a No charger with me. Nothing wrong with a Yes charger though.

I used to when I had an older phone. But the Pro Max of the last couple of years have had such outstanding battery life that I never felt the need to anymore.

What question are you asking is it ‘What charger do you take with you when you go out’ or ‘do you carry a charger when travelling’ because man if it’s just going out and you need to take a charger with you…. Dam you need help lol but if it’s travelling then of course you’re gonna take a charger when you’re travelling…

I don't think the price will ever go down. There is a huge demand and very short supply due to the factories being shut down. My estimated ship date is Jan 5th 2023. What I did was I bookmarked the 14 Pro Max webpage on Best Buy, Verizon, Walmart, and Apple and just kept checking once a day for any sales or promotions for the past month. Finally on Black Friday, Best Buy showed the "Black Friday Deal" on their website. I eventually noticed "$55 off" in tiny red letters after trying to figure out what the "Black Friday deal" was. I almost missed it.

If you have a credit card that gives promotions to certain stores, see if there are any to Walmart, Best Buy, or other big-name retailers. Some credit cards offer reward points multipliers or a statement credit if you spend a certain amount in a month or at a specific merchant. Otherwise, the free gift card with the purchase of the phone like you mentioned is the other likely deal.

I really want the 1 cable to rule them all, especially since my iPhone is now my only Lightening device left in my home, but I love the quality and fit of the lightning. I always feel like I'm going to break the port on my Type C devices.

Great info. Do you think it's worth waiting and the price may go down, or likely it will be this price for awhile?

What phone case and accessories did you end up getting?

I had a budget LG phone that had something similar. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is far from a budget phone so this shouldn't be happening. I've been super careful because I already replaced this phone once

I would be sure to check that particular lens when/if they fix it.

A few days too late but maybe bookmark it for any Christmas sales. I was searching so hard for a 14 Pro Max for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. The only deal I found that did not require a new line activation and trade-in was on Best Buy's website. The full-price iPhone 14 PM was $55 off so I went ahead and purchased it. $1,044 ($1099 MSRP) before taxes and I stacked it with my American Express for double points at Best Buy. Not the best but it is better than nothing. I asked one Apple employee about any deals on the Pro Max back in October and she said in the past the top phones never go on sale.

You first need to convert it to a ringtone, which is simply an AAC file that is renamed to a .m4r extension. Not sure if you can do it on the phone itself. Since you didn't mention how or where it's been downloaded, nor which file format it is, it's hard to give more specific answers.

The old phone won’t talk to the iCloud servers so you can not

😭

That’ll be a maaaasive upgrade for you, fingers crossed that you’ll never have to utilize the plan. I’ve always thought it’s good to have it as a backup and for the first time, it’s good I had it this time around lol. Hope it arrives soon for you!

Wow, from a 6S Plus? It’s going to be a great upgrade for you - enjoy the phone. AppleCare+ seems like a hefty amount to pay, but when an accident occurs, you can rest assured it’ll be taken of.

Resale would be higher

I purchased the 14 Pro Max and decided to go with apple care. I was starting to regret buying the $200 Plan but seeing this makes me feel a little better. I'm still waiting for it to ship but I am coming from a 6S+. Having the back be glass makes me worry about it cracking even with a case on.

😭

I mean I don't mean to say you didnt face the issue. It was being sarcastic.

But I honestly don't think it's an Android vs iPhone thing. I have seen atleast couple of people in my life time in my friends and family whose iphone ports went bad. So tbh, I think it boils down to people's usage pattern or probably their luck receiving a defective device.

My mom, dad, me and my gf have all owned androids (generally top tier ones), and nothing ever went bad , including the port. Can't comment on budget Android devices, as they may have slightly poor build quality.

Just a question, which devices have you owned apart from S21 ? I have had a samsung, then oneplus, and then the s22u. never faced issue on these brands.

My parents have had Samsung and Xiaomi, theirs are good as well. And they keep their phones much longer than me.

There are several other people in here saying they've had similar issues with Android phones

Ok to all of you talking about Apollo, thank you! I’ve been using the standard Reddit app for years and already Apollo seems much better.

Wondering what you do with your charging port lol. I have owned my phones for generally 3+ years, never had a usb-c port go bad. And do mishandle them, pulling my phone using the wire and all.

Do you just sit on the port while charging it lol :P

Uhhhh how do I do that

It’s to spy on you while on their wifi. Make sure your not doing to no no business
