    Apple Watch Series 6 - Buying a Charger - Fast Charge?

    It seems that Apple’s decision not to include a charger with several versions of the Apple Watch Series 6 has completely split opinion to the extent that no amount of debate will change a person’s mind. So that wasn’t the purpose of me posting this thread – they’ve made the decision and if you...

    Apple is now selling USB type c 18w adapter as they say it can fast charge iPhone XS Max. How is it different compare to 18w USB type A adapter comes with iPad? Should I only use type c 18w adapter to charge AirPods pro and iPhones? Or type A 18w adapter is ok?

    Warning below/after a custom-set battery percentage

    Hi, I read online that it's best to charge your MacBook by the 20-80 rule (plug it when it reaches 20% and unplug it when it reaches 80%). Any app that could notify me when that happens? Mind you, I only need an app that notifies me when that happens. I do not wish to install an app that...

    MBP 2018 constantly in charger vs drain and then charge?

    I have my Macbook sitting on the office table where I use it daily. With my old MBA 2012 I had it plugged in the charger constantly because I always used it in that same spot anyway. However with my new MBP I want to take as good care of it as possible. Do you guys recommend having the cable...

    Charge 10 iPads at once?

    Hi all. I know the iPads only draw about 10watts but I am having a hard time finding some kind of power strip that will charge 10 iPads at once. I could just plug all 10 iPads into plain old power strips plugged into a few outlets but that would be a bit cumbersome. I was looking at items...

    Good wireless charging battery?

    I'm looking for a portable battery that also charges wirelessly. In other words, I should be able to put my phone on it and it should charge even if I just leave them unconnected to anything. I know they exist, but are there any good ones? Do they charge the watch as well as the phone?

    Why Macbook Pro 13" 2017 Charges Faster?

    I use iStatMenus which shows estimated time for charging/discharging. But each time I plug in the power adapter, the laptop charges faster than the estimated time. For e.g. If I take a reading of 1 hour 42 minutes to full charge at 12:37, it should complete at 2:19. But it completes in 1...
