    Soldering a USB-C connector instead of a MagSafe2 connector

    Hi, I have a 2016 TouchBar MacBook Pro 15". I have an old 85W charger with a MagSafe2 connector at the end. I need an extra charger for my current MacBook Pro and that requires a USB-C connector. Is there a reason why I shouldn't be able to cut the MagSafe2 connector and solder a USB-C...

    App for measuring charger current

    Hi folks. With the introduction of iPhone 8 and iPhone X, I've been thinking a lot about chargers. I definitely plan to get a Qi charger this fall. I see the new iPhones will charge at 7.5W speeds using Qi. Not only do you need to buy a wireless charging pad that supports that speed, but also...

    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?

    Fast Charging Feature?

    If you look through the specs on the website, it mentions fast charging for the new phones. 50% charge in 30 minutes, but I've seen on some of the articles MacRumors has posted that that is only possible through the adapters from the MacBooks? Is that really the only way to take advantage of...

    Wireless Charging & Credit Card Cases

    I'm a huge fan of credit card/wallet cases. I'm assuming wireless charging is going to damage the magnetic strip on my credit cards. However, as we're slowly moving to chip transactions, we'll be swipping less. Does wireless charging damage chip cards?

    This is a bit of a rant about crappy Apple service, and also a warning to watch out for this issue. I noticed that my 10.5" wasn't charging properly the night before I was going on a trip to a town that has an Apple Store. It got worse over the course of my trying to troubleshoot it for an...

    Leaving MBP plugged in - Good or Bad idea?

    Hello, I was just curious as to whether leaving my 2017 MBP plugged into the charger, while I'm at home is a good/bad idea. I know that nowadays, it is said to not affect the battery life as the laptop starts using AC charge instead of battery power, but I just wanted to know your...

    Earphones While Charging

    Resolved Charging the MacBook Pro 2016 from two USB-Cs?

    Hi, I am looking at buying the HP USB-C dock and it has "average operating power" at 55 Watt, but with a max of 62 Watt. Since it might dip under 61 (the wattage on my charger), I was wondering: If I find that the dock does not charge the Mac at 61 (due to me using two external displays with...
