I’m not sure how this discussion has progressed because I’m not caught up yet, but that cable needs an old style usb A end on it. The one on the 5 watt charger has USB A port. Your cable is usb c on one end. Lightning on the other. You know what, I’m confused I need coffee.
Yep, I’m definitely going to need coffee.
Well this thread really went off rails overnight. Did you guys really go 10 pages roasting somebody for their charging setup 🤣🤣
I’m with you - I don’t follow this. This is not how you optimize charging and extend battery life. Lithium ion tech has come a long way, and iOS and macOS software slows charge in the last 5%, and will trickle charge once the device is at 100%.
coffee needs to be on autodrip throughout the day… fuel for the soul!
Still on preparing to ship with eta 9/22. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
For those concerned about battery life and optimizing charging - there’s a really simple answer here - charge your phone when it needs it, versus based on your own habits. Lithium Ion tech has been well optimized in the last decade. Every OEM has power management built in, to do their best at extending life of the battery in the device. Personally, I don’t charge my devices until I’m looking at around 15-20% battery remaining. From there, it doesn’t matter what charger I plug it into. Optimized charging (if done during the overnight), will charge to 80%, and then wait until my alarm is set to go off before it finishes charging to 100%. This is by design. It’s bad for a battery to sit at 100% all the time. This is true for any battery. This is why Apple started doing this with macOS too - though, its admittedly harder.
That said, you can’t live in fear about battery life. Most of us upgrade yearly anyway, and rarely have to be concerned with the long-term lifespan of our batteries. If you are, make sure you have AppleCare+ and you’ll be good to go.

Review embargo lifts in less than 2 hours to help you justify your purchases
Sigh. None of my vehicles is new enough to have CarPlay. 31 years and the “new” car from my dad is 15. I think the truck I sometimes drive came out one year before GM put CarPlay features in.
Has anyone been able to place a hold for pickup yet? I could have sworn the past couple of years I was able to do it once it took off from Korea, but this year, still no option. I seem to be on the flight with everyone else that left Alaska.
You sure it’s today? I always thought it was the Wednesday before launchReview embargo lifts in less than 2 hours to help you justify your purchases
Been in IUP for my 3rd upgrade now to the 15PM. I did the same thing, promising my 14PM to my daughter. Everything I've read to this point says to me (at least), no, I cannot keep my 14PM. IUP seems to really force the trade in.
What I did: ATT offered $830 in credits over 36 months for her old iPhone 12. So I upgraded her on ATT to a 15P with 256GB (cause you want the Pro-Res Recording) and I wanted it to last her the 3 years of the upgrade contract. This is only adding about $8/month to our cellular bill. I think Verizon had similar credit offers for device trade-ins.
To compare, Apple would have given about $250 maybe on Trade-in of the 12. so real resale value was dismal. And, the credit with ATT was about the exact same as what I owed - 50% of my 14PM's remaining balance.
You may be lucky to keep it since this is your first step into IUP and you're not really upgrading an IUP phone...but you may or should pay off your 14PM then. Hope it works out for you - but come next year, you may have to really turn in your 15PM. Good Luck!
No, I tried but it keeps saying the sender doesn't allow for it. I think it has to clear customs in KY first??? Not sure.
Thanks, only options I see are to have it delivered another day, or to another address. I could have sworn by this point hold for pickup was an option. Hopefully once it arrives in KY.
Oof! I hope you’re better soon. Yeah I wasn’t in the best of shape either. Take care!
Part of the first wave out - heading to Kentucky!
