I like to use my phone while charging. Need my phone on me at all times to reply to work emails and texts. So when I’m at home just chillin I can play ps4 and have my phone on my lap. I can’t do that with a charging pad, but I can with a 10 foot Anker lighting cable

That’s the best accessory I have lol. I can be on the edge of the couch on the ps4 and not have to reach over to peek at my phone while it’s charging

And I hope Apple NEVER gets rid of cable charging. It has to be USB lightning or some other form of physical cable. I don’t like using blu tooth in my car because a wired audio connection will always have better sound quality than wireless. So that would be a life changer for me if they somehow moved away from cable in the future

double

 

[luckyluchiano]

True. It's def not a "struggle" to go to my charger on the other side of the living room or to the kitchen and plug it. USB Type C makes it easier with it being reversible also



There's a few companies working on that. I think there's one that can already do it using radio waves

I know apple bought some small start up that works on that stuff so we will see

 

[jayhood23]

good point.

but an extra wired charger even a knockoff one is still hella cheaper than a maxipad

and now the both of you cant use your phone

Well I have 2 now, the original apple one from my 7+ and the one that came with my 10 but a charging mat would still be helpful since we both have apple watches too

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

been reading up on that too.

when this happens apple will kill off lighting ports on iphones and everyone will be mad

And Samsung will make a commercial about it.

what version apple watch yall got?

i was mad as hell once i found out maxipad wont support first gen watches made it that much easier to pass on upgrading my watch and buying into wireless charging.

I have a question about wireless charging mats.. I know Apple is supposed to drop their own charging mat sometime in 2018 which will be able to charge multiple devices at once (iPhone, AirPods, Apple Watch), but isn’t this technology already available? Or are all the wireless chargers out there only able to charge just 1 device at a time?

Also, I already copped a $10 wireless charger off amazon and I ain’t even got my iPhone X yet lmao.

Qi charging has been around for a while but apple prefers you use their proprietary chargers and there were cases of folks using cheap 3rd party chargers and their phones getting hot and even burning people or their beds.

Most like that $10 charger works but it's prob not safe. For the amount you pay for that phone getting the cheapest or a cheap accessories really ain't worth the chance

 

[mike honcho]

I’ll try out the $10 joint on my girls iPhone X and if it gets hot I’ll send it back

I have a series 3, I think she has a series 1. Guess I'll be the only one to benefit from it then since you said it doesn't support first gen watches

Apple with the jig making it work with only newer devices

Apple with the jig making it work with only newer devices

I don't think its reasonable to ask Apple to make a kit to upgrade the back panel and internals on an iPhone 7 to make it technically able to receive wireless charging.

 

[Thats My Word]

Do those magnetic car phone mounts affect wireless charging?

 

[Thats My Word]

I’m talking about these where a magnetic plate needs to be attached to the back of phone.

 

[iamdef]

Nope. At least not for me.

 

[Thats My Word]

So you have the metal plate on the back of your phone and you can still wirelessly charge?

I was quite surprised but GameStop actually giving me 400$ for my iPhone. Better than AT&T and what Apple was offering. Probably could have gotten more selling my 7plus 128GB, but it was stress free and quick.

I sold mine for 650 but it was a 256gb. You probably could have gotten 550-600, but there is the risk of scammer buyers so theres that

Yea that’s what didn’t feel like dealing with it was decent amount and I was happy with it. Knowing GameStop I’m surprised they weren’t like 300 or 250. Lmao
