    I just got one - the official apple mag was indeed creating over heat issues.  I like it so far although it looks like it’s only reaching 7.5w charging as it’s not official Apple.  Still not having the “iphone needs to cool down” messages is great.
    Which begs the question - which is faster, a thermally-throttled 15W Apple Magsafe charger or a can't-use-more-than-7.5W-max non-Apple charger?
    Good q - I’m not in a good place to accurately test it but so far I’d say it’s about even.  I’ll favor avoiding the over heat - having a locked up “needs to cool” phone when you get out of the car (oddly CarPlay kept going) is no fun not to mention the potential harm to the battery with repeat events.

    How loud is the fan?
    Moderate - you can hear it if parked with no radio.  Once you drive with road noise or turn on the car audio it’s completely faded into the background.

    So making billions of phones cables obsolete over night reduces waste. This is a plot to make someone money. It otherwise makes no sense. will they decide the next cable standard? Remember much of what’s in usb-c is from Apple’s work with Intel on Thunderbolt. Are they planning to force companies to stop forcing chrome on users and use standards instead of Google technology on their websites? Are they going to force video format compatibility so YouTube isn’t required to send quality videos on Android?
    In my case yes - if the iphone was USB C I could use the same cables for both the iPad Pro and the phone.

  • Apple brings its universal Gift Card to select European countries

    Is it really “universal” ?  They don’t seem to accept the apple balance at the store (except online pickup orders ) and they can’t accept it to do an annual AppleCare.
