use an iPad charger if you have one, that 1 amp one they include in the box is a joke

Can charge your phone in about 1/2 the time if you put your phone on airplane mode. Only downside is you're basically turning off all service on the phone. Not a big deal if you're busy doing something else while it's charging.

yea I'm not a fan of essentially turning off my phone to charge unless I'm going to be away from it, and even then I miss a phone call

I'm using the charger from my Nexus 5 which is 2A, charges my phone from 20% to 100% in about an hour.

Also you are not turning off your phone on airplane mode, wifi calling kicks in

I recommend any Anker products. Good quality stuff and it isnt that expensivd

Anker and Aukey products are worth it and it's cheap.

Aren't all those accessories made in the same factory? Just different brands stamped on them?

capital sb · Oct 31, 2016

No some are of higher quality

Didn't think of the wifi calling...... still prefer my phone being on as much as possible because that's what we're paying for on our phones every month, not wifi

This. Got 4 iPhone chargers around the crib, plus a car charger. After my friend put me on earlier this year, everything is Anker now. :lol:

when charging turn on low power mode. I don't think a better charger will improve anything since the iphone dictates how much power to draw.

I can't remember where I read it, but Apple stated its safe to use the 12v iPad charger on your Apple device. Takes half of the time to charge the phone.

Less than half the time in theory. 12w vs 5w i believe
Soon as i read it was safe and wouldnt hurt the life cycle of the battery i copped two bricks from Walmart pause... no going back now

The edge/note still doo doos on it obviously with fast charge but once charged the 7 plus lasts twice as long almost. I really hafta tweak alotta settings to get a good days use out of it where as with the iphone i jus turn the screen brightness down to 1/3

Cheap chargers and accessories will . Anker is legit . Cambond's 10ft braided chargers are the GOAT imo.

GrizzlyAnimal · Nov 1, 2016

Ima need that 10 feet

brewc1ty · Nov 1, 2016

Well. Was checking my email and my 7 froze.. did a hard restart since nothing was responding and it would keep getting stuck at the Apple logo screen over and over and over again. Long story short just had to restore my phone because it froze and wouldn't turn back on

capital sb · Nov 1, 2016

Heres the 10ft braided charger last forever as long as your not one of those people who bend the end of your charger while charging and cause it to short.
