The amount of excess electricity used by wirelessly charging your phone for a year wouldn’t be enough to power your refrigerator for 5 minutes.jcc said:I don’t understand why Apple is pushing wireless charging? Wireless charging is one of the worst charging methods as a lot of energy is wasted. They shouldn’t allow the capability until that improves.The difference is about 7 watt hours, from dead to full, apparently, so if you charged your phone only every other day, you would still be wasting an extra 1,277 watt hours per year. An average fridge uses 100-250 watts

so the annual wasted energy would be enough to power a fairly efficient fridge for over 12 hours.The wasted energy of one full wireless charge from dead to full is almost enough to power a fridge for 5 minutes.

iPhone 12 teardown reveals simpler internal design, 5G radio details

How to compare the sizes of the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone SE, and i...
I’m reading on an iPad, and the Scribd content just appears embedded in the article (but not on the comments page) with no account required. On my 10.5” iPad Pro, the dimensions show up very close to actual size. If you have an iPad, you could try viewing with that.Anilu_777 said:I have way too many sites that I’ve signed in to and many are impossible or difficult to change the passwords on them. Is there another way to get that size guide than Scribd? I don’t want any more accounts.

Apple releases iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, watchOS 6.2, tvOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4
I wouldn’t call it a mess, but I hope they have finally fixed the bug that makes the dock appear in the wrong orientation sometimes on my iPad Pro. Am I the only one experiencing this? Sometimes it also gets stuck on a side.
