    There is no such things as Fast Charging on the IPad Pro’s ...

    I cannot believe people are so brainwashed by this. The past IPads , including the current 9.7 Ipad, did/do NOT “normal charge” ... and the Ipad Pro’s (12 inch and 10.5 inch) do not fast charge with the appropriate accessory ... The previous IPads including the current IPad 9.7 .... actually...

    Wireless Charging through a case

    Hi, is it possible to use wireless charging with a case on the phone or do you have to remove the case before you can use the feature? Are there certain types cases that allow wireless charging without the need to remove the case first?
