  • iPhone 16 gets super fast wireless charging, with the right MagSafe cable

    That is exactly what I came here to ask. I have the original MagSafe that I bought for the 12 Pro. So can I use the same charger as long as it's connected to at least a 30 watt transformer?
    Edit: obviously in order to charge at the 25 watt speed. I already have a 3 port 65 watt Anker charger. My understanding is that it doesn't matter if the power is higher than 30 watts because it will only charge at the rate the device is capable of charging at. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's dangerous to use a 65 watt charger. I believe Anker is one of the higher quality Chinese companies.

    Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that the MagSafe part isn't the part that needs to be upgraded. I think that it's just the part with the transformer that needs to be upgraded.

  • Compared: AirPods Max vs AirPods Max with USB-C

    Why wouldn't you want the H2 chip or Bluetooth 5.2?

  • Thinner & lighter Apple Watch Series 10 arrives with new design, sleep apnea detection

    Sightly thinner and slightly bigger screen. Yep, I'll hang onto my Apple Watch Series 6 for another year. Can't complain, Apple has done my wallet a favour once again with such an iterative and unimaginative update.
    Well I wouldn't call a 30% thinner screen "slightly thinner." To me, 30% is pretty substantial. It's a hell of a lot thinner than my Ultra.

    Edit: Almost every update is iterative. The only non-iterative update I can think of is either iPhone X or Watch Ultra or AirPods Pro. Going from Series 9 to Series 10 is no different than going from Series 8 to Series 9. Going from Series 6 to Series 10 is definitely not iterative. There is a huge difference between Series 6 and Series 10.

    10% thinner is not thin enough for me and the main product photo Apple is using for the watch makes it look misleadingly thin. 
    Personally I'd have preferred the same thickness with a decent battery life boost. Each to their own.
    Make up your mind. Is it thin enough or not? Why are you so wiffle-waffley?

  • Apple launched AirPods eight years ago, and changed the world again

    It seems pretty crazy to me that they changed the world. For me, they're unwearable because they fall out of my ears which is unacceptable to me. I was hoping that AirPods Pro would be better, but they also fall out of my ears. The battery life is also horrible. It's not just Apple, though. The only earbuds that stay in my ears are the ones with hooks, or ones that wrap around the outside of the ear, or ones that insert into the ear canal itself. I currently own Shure earbuds which insert into the ear canal which isolates noise passively. This greatly increases battery life. My next purchase will also be Shure earbuds.
    Edit: The AirPods Pro do stay in my ears just walking around. It's when I'm doing activity where there is a lot of vibration or head movement that they fall out. Like trail riding or when I'm on a riding lawn mower over bumpy terrain. My Shure earphones don't fall out no matter what.
