    Anyone know why the M1 Air only pulls 5W from a 5V/2.4A charger?

    I have an Anker USB 3.0 (USB Type A) charger that can output 5V/2.4A for a maximum of 12W per port. When I charge my iPhone with a USB-A to Lightning cable, it pulls the full 12W. But when I use a USB 3.0 Type A to USB-C cable to charge my M1 MacBook Air, it only pulls 5W from the charger...

    Anyone else dislikes Magsafe for charging?

    Anyone else doesn't like that they switched back to Magsafe for the new Macbook Pros? I preferred usb-c because of 3 reasons: 1) I could charge on both sides of the laptop, depending on the most convenient 2) I could use standard cables to share with other devices 3) Before I had 4 usb-c ports...

    Hi! I have a new iPhone 12 Mini, latest iOS and all. I've put it on an AC charger for the night (Apple A1400, 5W), the same way I did for the past week, and it chimed and showed the "charging" status. Then, this morning, it was on 25% charge. As it turns out, despite registering the charger...
