    Model A2560 USB-C to Lightning cable? (MagSafe Duo)

    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...

    2021 mbp MagSafe vs usbC

    I’m curious what others thoughts are on the possible switch back to MagSafe. Don’t get me wrong, I loved MagSafe on my 2011 mbp, but I’ve actually gotten very used to usb c now and love that I can move around the house without needing to bring a charger because my husbands android chargers are...

    Why Apple might add MagSafe again

    MacRumors recently published an article regarding leaked MBP schematics which included MagSafe. This is just speculation but: One reason why they might add MagSafe again is because USB-C PowerDelivery only supports up to 100W. Maybe the M1X requires a higher wattage to run at full power and...

    Will using an international adapter (any from eBay) affect the MagSafe charging capability?

    I use a UK 20W official Apple charger to plug in the MagSafe.. in case of travelling abroad, will using a cheap adaptor in front of the 20w UK official Apple charger affect anything?

Tried 14.3 even 14.4 this morning won’t charge (works only if I restart the phone ... but this is reappearing randomly every 4-8 days) I would expect other charges not working but...

    While searching on Amazon for MagSafe accessories I ran across this base and I received it today. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QZFTWYR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is a thin metal base and it attaches well to a MagSafe case or directly to a 12 series iPhone. The...

    MagSafe mount without cable

    Hey, so this may be a bit of a weird one, but help is appreciated. I just got my iPhone 12 mini, and I want to mount it to the dashboard of my car so it’s kept safe whilst driving. However, I don’t want to buy a proper MagSafe cable as I can’t use it in my car (CarPlay requires a wired...

    Magsafe charger cable doubts

    So, basically, I need a 2m cable (at least) in order to connect my charger to a socket. I want to buy an official Magsafe charger because my actual QI charger (from ikea, 3 or 4 years old now, it works pretty fine tbh) is giving me some problems, probably due to the magnet array on my 12 Pro...

    So I received an Apple gift card about a month or 2 ago and bought a saddle brown leather case for my 12 Pro. I have about $30 left on my gift card and I’m curious what y’all think I should get: - MagSafe charger (cool but the 20W wired charger I have is faster and doesn’t leave an imprint) -...

    iPhone 12 Pro “OhSnap” and MagSafe duo charger won’t work together

    I kind of expected this, but was hoping for the best... if you take the ohsnap off and put it down on MagSafe it will work. Just not sure if I want to do it often tbh. Otherwise MagSafe duo charger is solid piece, and I love the portability and convenience of two chargers is one, which was the...

    Mag Safe vs Macbook Pro

    Hey So I received my magsafe charger today. Soon as I opened it, I plugged it into a thunderbolt port on my 2020 13" MBP (I removed the charger and left in the USB bank I have). The magsafe wouldn't work... It only seems to work when I remove the USB bank from the other thunderbolt port... Any...
