    USB C Magic Keyboard feels different

    I recently got a new USB C Magic Keyboard from Best Buy, and it’s got me wondering if there’s a difference between it and my old lightning Magic Keyboard. The keys on the new one don’t feel as satisfying when I press them down. They seem a bit mushy compared to the old one. Is this because it’s...

    Is it worth buying Apple usb-c to lightning cables?

    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...

    Other USB-C iPhone: The Ugly Truth

    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.

    Dropped my iPhone’s lightning cable in water

    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?

    Is there a protective plug for the lightning port?

    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...

    Other Is lightning here to stay?

    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...

    My iPhone's Lightning Port Works, BUT Will Not Charge Once Turned On?

    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...
