    iPhone 12 Pro Wireless charging stopped working until a forced phone restart

    yesterday my Anker wireless charging pad wouldn’t charge my iPhone 12 pro. I figured it must have died. Then later on I placed my phone on my Apple MagSafe charger and it wouldn’t charge either. A force restart of my phone fixed this and my MagSafe charger then worked. My anker charger works as...

    Leather Cases - MagSafe charger or not?

    I’m curious who is buying the MagSafe charger if they have the leather case (could leave a ring mark) and who’s skipping out - why are you getting it or why not?

    MagSafe discoloration

    Hello, I have been using my MagSafe charger for two days on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It charges fast, but after 2 days of usage my white MagSafe already shows some discoloration. I think perhaps it is the coil that is showing already. Is this normal?

    iPhone 12 MagSafe and credit cards in pocket - when is it a hazard?

    Hello everyone, Could any of you please confirm me answers to the following questions? I understand it's discouraged to hold RFID passports, credit cards and key fobs next to the magsafe charger when it's charging an iPhone 12. Apple officially stated it. I have some questions about further...

    Magsafe base or mount?

    I like the idea of the MagSafe charger but I'm not a fan of how it comes with the phone when I pick it up. Does anyone know of any companies with a base for it so that the MagSafe charger stays on your desk / nightstand / table? I know other wireless chargers already do this but the MagSafe...

    MacBook very slow after connecting or disconnecting MagSafe.

    Bought a new MagSafe charger from Apple recently and I've noticed that when I connect/disconnect, it substantially slows down my MacBook for a minute or two. I've also noticed that one of the dots inside my I/O port now has a small burn mark around it. I suppose the immediate solution would be...

    Wiki: Qi Chargers not working with the iPhone 12/Pro/Max due to the magnets

    EDIT: issue officially recognised by Apple I have the Zens Liberty Wireless charger and I noticed that it's not working properly with the iPhone 12. I think this might be due to the fact that it's a "AirPower"-like device that has multiple coils, and magnets (MagSafe) obviously interferes with...

    Macbook Pro won't charge after replacing magsafe port

    I have been having issues with the charging port on my mid-2012 13" MBP (2.9GHz i7, 16GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000) for a while now - it wouldn't charge unless I fiddled the plug and put a piece of paper in the gap between the plug and the port to keep it exactly there. So I ordered a...

    I’ve been hanging on to my wonderful MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014 for dear life. And now this happened: With the MacBook sitting on a glass table, connected and charging via its MagSafe connector, our big dog went crazy for some critters outside, he got entangled with the power cord and...
