    iPhone 12 Pro Max Apple care, any good reasons to not get it?

    I am considering getting apple care for my 12 pro max, however I never had apple care for any of my previous iPhones and they did just fine as I tend to care a lot.

    iPhone 12 Pro Max this might make no sense, but can magnets on iPhone 12 get weak over time?

    I am not a physicist but just curious, can magnets actually get weak over time? In this attached image it states: "Several factors can weaken the magnetism in a magnet. If a magnet is stored close to heat, strong electrical currents, other magnets, or radiation, it can lose its strength...

    Satechi 2 in 1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand

    I received the Satechi 2 in 1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand this last weekend and I thought I'd post some pics and my impressions. It's a solid charger. It is NOT "Magsafe." It charges the phone at 15W max (CORRECTION: 7.5W max. 15W is stated in the documentation, but 7.5W on the website.)...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max Hair Dryer and IPhone 12 Adhesive while applying Dbrand Skin

    I was applying a dbrand skin on my iPhone 12 but around the camera module area it's a bit hard to stick it down; dbrand suggests using a hair dryer to stretch the skin and make it work.. so I did, I applied the hair dryer hot air directly where the cameras are! That's okay, but my concern is ...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max Am I the only one noticing small lags and slight stutters in the overall performance of iPhone 12 Pro Max?

    This is an amazing device, but for whatever reason I notice the lack of smoothness in animations (ex. when I switch between apps, or close apps occasionally there is a small stutter); don’t get me wrong, it is still very fast but it just seems that the smoothness is not there, but this only...
