I think the mini is the star of the show - perfect for running and being out and about, with the Pro Max an almost iPad Pro Replacement now. I was also able to perfectly align the magsafe charger in my desk grommet, no unsightly wires floating around now
The Pro Max and big phones ARE an iPad replacement for me when we travel to Europe a couple of times a year (pre-Covid). I got tired of hauling the iPad around and finding a plug for it and worrying if I left it in our room. Love the big iphones on the plane for videos.

You said... "dongle"...

(sorry, I'm 12 at heart)


How did you find this out? When you called? How do Verizon users know if they have the right SIM or not?
I found out by doing the online chat. I knew something was up because my husband had 5G on his 12 Pro but I was only getting LTE on my 12 Pro Max. They would have shipped me one but I didn’t want to wait so I went to a store and they replaced it for me. Now I’m getting 5G service but the speed tests are weird, a few have come back strangely slow.

Oh yes! Been a fan since 1998 - I was 10 years old! Still in love with the movie and still my #1 favorite ? must’ve seen it hundreds of times on VHS and DVD and twice in theater when it was rereleased for the 100th year sinking anniversary and 20th year movie release anniversary. I didn’t get to see it when it was first in theaters unfortunately
We got to see where the Titanic ship was made in Belfast. So cool. I bought lots of souvenirs. Our guide’s uncle died on the ship and she wrote a book about it.

I feel sorry for someone who would just show up in the thread.
They would have no idea about the meaning of terms like:
#920Crew
Dongle
And of course That's what she said

I feel like I am missing some. If you haven’t been with us you truly have missed out on some fun. Oh and iPhones😊😊
Don't forget kaa and krap. We all learned a lot of things this past week or so.

Got her all set up. Having trouble connecting to car thru Bluetooth though. iPhone can’t find my car as a device.

No problem on my Mazda 6. I unpaired old phone in Bluetooth settings of Mazda connect screen, had it add a device my phone saw almost instantly and pairing was quick and it works great. I also did my wired CarPlay phone wanted me to agree the mazda device was secure and that was a go. I am all ready til next year LOL

First time I used magsafe charger and 20W power adapter, and here‘s my observation:

^it does make my phone hot.
^it does not charge fast, it seems like it does as fast as a normal charger. It has been charging for over 2 hours and still at 76%.
^but i also think it either slowed down or stopped charging (maybe when the phone gets really hot) and it could be why it takes longer to charge.

does anybody experience this as well?

Time for a car upgrade. Haha

Yeah right easier to afford my phone upgrades than another car on my pension LOL I worry though next year if they do a usc connector like other devices if that will still power to my Mazda. USB port that was installed with my car play on my 2016 Mazda 6.

Yes, most chargers will slow when it gets hot. But they also slow when they get above 60% charge, then slower when they get 70% etc. all the way till 100
