    iPhone 14 Pro How is the iPhone 14 Pro's Lightning Port Durability?

    You know, I'm in business, so I have a lot of things to charge my phone. I usually charge through the Lightning port about 10 times a day with Apple Genuine Charger and Lightning Cable. Is this not a problem with the life of the Lightning port?

    iPhone 13 iPhone 13 charging problem, have you encountered it?

    I recently discovered that when I charge my iPhone 13, the charging status on the front is normal. When the power is charged to 97%, the power increase will become very slow. In other words, the charge increases very slowly from 97% to 100%, what could be the reason for this? All I can think of...

    Using AlDente or other battery charge limiters

    Is using charge limiters like AlDente bad for your battery? The app page says that it might confuse battery calibration and cause turning off at e.x. 40%. Are there anybody who uses AlDente? How is your battery health on your macbook? Have you noticed any drawbacks?
