Now it’s no longer just the E.U. https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/09/saudi-arabia-usb-c-mandatory/ Now we just need some big fines going Apple’s way when they inevitably bastardize it with some new MFi none-sense. We’re probably going to get USB 2.0 speeds from all our current USB-C to USB-C and...

The cable that came with my iPhone 11 is broken and I need a new one, not only for charging but also for backups to my Mac. Because of the backups I am interested in (data) reliability, otherwise I'd certainly buy a much cheaper third party cable. Is there a difference? Can third party cables...

I know everyone is riding on a high because top level Apple executives confirm that they have to comply with the new European law and switch the iPhone over to USB-C within the next two years, most likely in next year's iPhone 15 series. But I’ve seen a lot of people make some assumptions about...

It was not plugged into the phone or in the wall. Essentially, I just dropped a cable in water. If I let it dry, can I safely use it afterwards? Or should I buy a new one?

Most of the time, I don't need to plug in a cable to my iPhone 13. So, I would like to have a protective plug so that the lightning port is protected from dust and debris. Is there such a thing? I live in Sweden, so orders within the EU are preferable. Thank you for your patience with a middle...

Last night I received a pair of Etymotic ER2SE IEMs and I hooked them up to the lightning adapter and iPhone 13 Pro (fresh install few days ago) and I noticed that at 50% volume, they sound low. I then tried them at the same volume but with the Apple USB C 3.5mm adapter on my 2018 iPad Pro and...

Hear me out... Does Mac OS have something that causes the display to flash a little, if it is thundering and lightning outside? I feel like my screen just started flashing a little, and wondering if that is why, versus something else. It just started thundering and lightning outside. Something...

I felt a strange feeling when reading more details about Apple's Lossless music service the other week. I thought it was strange that Apple were promoting a feature that they specifically tell you is only useful when plugging a DAC into your device (Hi-Fi Lossless tells you this on every device...

So I’ve suspected that I might have come across a fake MagSafe Duo. I’ve checked out with Apple Support the serial number of it which seems to be fine BUT when I ran it’s cable (Lightning to USB-C) through 3utools, I got that it’s legit, having the model type A2560. There is nothing on Google...

Hi everyone, I have a pair of Solo Beats Pro and would love a cheap cable for lightning to 3.5mm like this: https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MR2C2ZM/A/lightning-to-35mm-audio-cable-12m-black There does seem to be lots of cables out there, but not many that work with the Solo Beats Pro /...

I’m having the most bizarre problem. (I have posted this in a few other forums to no avail -- hopefully y'all can help!) My headphones work perfectly when I plug them into the lightning jack — they never get disconnected, or have any issue whatsoever. But when I unplug the headphones and plug...

Hi iPhone 8 Plus 14.2 Having it for a year (brand new). - cable and plug is fine (tried it with iPhone 5S - instant connection) - clean lightning port (got some debris out) I also tried recovery and used my iCloud backup. That helped for a day and after it I've heard the same disconnection...

I was taking a look at my new iphone 11 and noticed in the lighting port that the actual metal pins inside are not all at the same level/height. The left one and middle one are a tiny bit depressed compared to the others. it's a tiny tiny difference. It seems another iphone, of a friend, an...

Hi, I noticed the lightning charging cable i've been using on my Iphone Xr (and somebody else's Iphone SE) doesnt' work with my one week old Iphone 11. It's confirmed it is the cable as the same cable doesn't charge another Iphone 11 as well. However in the process of figuring things out I...

For weeks I had been going back and forth and ended up leaning towards the Air here's why: 1. Lightning ecosystem - Currently the iPad Pro 9.7" is my SO's main computer and is soon to be demoted to Child No.1. Once my Air faces the same fate to Child No.2 it will be a lot less complicated to...

Hi guys, Every single time I open my Macbook from sleep mode and check my email, I notice this small lightning symbol next to each account. The lightning symbol indicates that the account has been deactivated. I need have 7 accounts in my Mail app, and I need to click on the lightning symbol...

I've recently been organizing my workshop and wanted to repurpose an old display to watch video from my iPhone. It was a really nice display when it came out (2008 IPS 27" 1920x1200 $799) and even though it has color shifted a bit over the years to the point of not being able to be calibrated...

I have an older model Boston Duo-I compact office stereo that dates back to my iPhone 4s days. Of course, it has a 30 pin connector to match the 4s. For a couple years after I upgraded to an iPhone 6 I was able to still play music through it and charge the iPhone 6 using an official Apple...

I got a 2017 MacBook Pro 13" at home. And a 2011 iMac at office. And I got 2 usb-c dongles Juiced Systems Bizhub and Apple Digital AV adapter. When I connect my iPhone to the computers, I get the following current readings.. 1. Bizhub + Lightning cable + MBP Current Available (mA): 500...

I know that this is supposed to have been fixed in 12.01, but this has happened to me a few times, with the latest being last night. Plugged the lighting connector into the phone wile the screen was off. Next, I plugged the Apple charger, nad cables (only about 4 months old with no wear or...
