    Hi, I am looking to purchase a genuine Apple charger that is the fastest possible option. I had been using my 140W MBP USB-C to Lighting but I’m almost certain that it is causing the battery health to rapidly decrease. I like the fast charge I get from it but not if it’s going to damage my...

    "battery not charging" with Anker 735

    The battery on my MacBook Air M2 charges fine with the original apple magsafe charger. With a brand new Anker 735 nano ii 65W charger and an Anker USB-C charging cable rated to 100W - the MacBook detects the power source but says "Battery not charging". Anyone know why?

    Charger Plug Swap Options for MacBook Air M2 15 Bought in US

    Hi there, I am planning a trip to the United States soon and am very excited to purchase a MacBook Air M2 15 while I'm there. However, I've realized that the plug on the charger won't be compatible with the power outlets in my home country, as I would need an EU type plug. I was wondering if...

    Did I get fake 5W chargers?

    Hello, I’ve recently bought 2 Apple 5W chargers, and I’m not sure if they are fake or not. The official resellers from my country aren’t selling 5W chargers anymore so I got them from a third party. I’ve attached some comparisons pics here. Can anyone tell me if they are legit? I can still...

    MagSafe Stand used in Apple’s presentation?

    Does anyone know what MagSafe stand Apple used during the iOS 17 and iPhone 15 presentation of Standby? It looked like a Belkin but the base is square. Also it has a cable below so it seems to be one were you provide the MagSafe charger. Thanks

    Cable Charger compatibility (Apple included)

    So I saw Apple has new braided USB-C cables! But the 1m cable is just 60W instead of 100W... Now, hypothetically... What if I only want to carry around one charger and one cable for iPhone, iPad and Mac... What if I use the shorter 1m braided 60W cable with a 96W charger and my MacBook Pro...

    Plastic 2009 MagSafe 1 MacBook not accepting charge

    Bought off of eBay for basic use, for an elderly relative. The item in question is an early-mid 2009 MacBook (the plastic one) and it has the T style charger. It will not go orange, despite how much I clean the charger and port. I have got it to go orange only once, which lasted around 10...

    Do USB-powered devices degrade MacBook’s battery while on the charger?

    If I leave USB-powered devices plugged into my MacBook while it’s charging, will it degrade the battery? What I’m trying to figure out is if the USB devices will drain the battery and then the charger recharges the MacBook repeatedly, or do the USB devices consume power directly from the MacBook...

    Fast Charger - Inexpensive and available in UK

    Having fairly recently got my first Apple Watch (an 8), I realise that I'd like to have a charger that I can more or less leave in the car. For when I forget to charge the watch before going out. I'm used to fast charging so would probably at least prefer that. And I have both USB-C and USB-A...

    belkin wireless magnetic (not magsafe) charger

    I picked up 2 of these bad boys from my local Target for $12.99 each. For the price, it's a steal, and they come with 20w USB-C bricks, so I really can't go wrong. Or can I? They get my phone HOT. Hotter than my magsafe charger, and they get it hot, quicker, too. But it also cools off quicker...

    MagSafe Charge Indicator Stays Orange All of the Time

    My 16" M1X MacBook Pro always indicates via the charger's orange LED on the MagSafe connector that it is charging, even when charging is paused at 80%. Shouldn't it turn green when it's not actively charging the MBP? I use the same charger to charge my M2 MacBook Air and it behaves normally...
