    Apple MagSafe Wallet falling apart

    So I have had this wallet since they came out, about 3 years ago. It’s falling apart now. I contacted Apple support and they said this is normal and it has “had a good run” but I could take it in for a Genius Bar appointment. Has anyone else had this happen?

    The monitor screen turns off, and charging stops when charging MacBook.

    Hi all, I'm using MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro). Last night, when I went to the cafe to get some work done after work, I saw that my MacBook charge was 38%. Actually, I had charged the device the previous day, but I thought I might not have charged enough, and some of the remaining charges may have...

    Bullstrap MagSafe wallet - Any good?

    I have a Bullstrap case on my 13 Mini that is great. Thinking about getting the MagSafe wallet but want to see if the battery 'hold' has improved. Are the current ones good?

    MagSafe Charging Station Pick (Belkin or Anker)

    Hey, I am looking to move away from all of the cables & adapters on my table. Thinking about getting a first charging station, just not sure which one between these 2. Both are certified & sold by Apple. Price is same too, but if anyone has any experience with either I'd appreciate it! Cheers

    iPhone 13 mini IPhone 12 Mini vs 13 Mini - “Real World” Differences?

    I’m considering getting a Mini iPhone and just want to hear some real-world perspectives on the phones, and if it’s worth the extra money for a 13 mini. The main questions I have are: 1. Is battery life really noticeably better on the 13 mini? 2. Is the camera worth the money/upgrade on the 13...

    iPhone 13 Apple Silicon case - cheaper/more durable alternative

    I really like my Silicon Case, but it got dents and cracks after just a couple moths of use and is not that pleasant to use anymore after 6 months. I am okay with paying the price for the best product, but it isn’t durable enough to buy a new one twice a year or so. Is there are a good MagSafe...

    Naked iphone 14pm + wallet magsafe

    I’ve been rocking the 14pm naked and it has been great. Only issue is the camera bump so i went to apple store and purchased an apple magsafe wallet. I feel it’s the best accessory if you rock your iphone naked as it somewhat protects the back and camera module. Is anyone else use this combo...

    Other The next SE should (but won’t) have MagSafe

    By now a rough outline of the next-generation iPhone SE is coming into focus, giving us some idea of what to expect from Apple’s next budget-friendlier mobile offering. It seems it may be in either an iPhone XR or iPhone 11 chassis—probably the former to help cut down on cost—with a single lens...

    MagSafe Chargers for iPhone 14 Pro

    Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations on MagSafe/magnetic desk chargers that are compatible with the (rather large) camera bump on the iPhone 14 Pro? Particularly chargers that allow the phone to lay flat on a table, i.e. not a stand. Previously, for old my iPhone 13 (non-pro), I'd used a...

    MagSafe car chargers and the iPhone 14 pro Max

    Has anyone out there with their iPhone 14 Pro Max in hand tried it out with any particular MagSafe car chargers? I’ve been looking into MagSafe car chargers for a while — vent mount, dash, windshield — and I am aware of some shortcomings: None of them seem certified and capable of 15W fast...

    Hey. I have an old MacBook from 2008 (A1181) and I can't get my head around the options for replacing my failed 60w Magsafe power adapter. Usually I would just look to replace like for like but I get the feeling there are alternatives? Due to the age of my current adapter (A1184), I have...

    Anyone else dislikes Magsafe for charging?

    Anyone else doesn't like that they switched back to Magsafe for the new Macbook Pros? I preferred usb-c because of 3 reasons: 1) I could charge on both sides of the laptop, depending on the most convenient 2) I could use standard cables to share with other devices 3) Before I had 4 usb-c ports...

    This is a very unimportant question, but which MagSafe Chargers show the little MagSafe ring animation when you put your phone on it? I got a mount for Christmas but that was one where you had to add the MagSafe charger to it. Then I got an iOttie charger but it doesn't have the animation on it...
