I think Apple case are quite goodthough, i use apple case the normal one, on my 7plus around 2 years, havent been changing to other case. too durable...

Whereas my brother has been changing the case a few times, like those invisible spigen case
*
yea agreed on that.. during my 5.. change alot of casing, transparent tpu once yellowish change.. bumper.. etc..

since i use apple leather case on 6... only 1 case.. then i change 7 plus.. same 1 case.. now looking for xs... too bad x case dont fit nicely in xs.. else could pick 1 with discounted price...

iPhone does not support QC which is proprietary to Qualcomm, iPhone models since last year support USB-PD

yes and the latest mcdodo official site say no support if ur ios11.3 and newer.

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/MC...2852859916.html

PLEASE TAKE NOTE 12w is not fast charging. Power Delivery type-c 18w IS fast charging.
*
yea.. this is what i shared previous post.. mentioned that since ios 11.3 ONLY ori apple cable able to fast charge..

btw not only mcdodo, every brand in taobao did mention did not support ios 11.3 and above.. such as baseus..

but got member here share apple able to use QC3.0... QC3.0 will need a Qualcomm chip... you can charge with QC3.0 no problem, but just normal charging... not up to QC3.0 standard... Please correct me if im wrong..

yes that is always the case. if qc3.0 u don have u only get the normal speed 1A/5V 2A/5V or depends on wat ur adapter write. better buy apple cable, the charger is ok as long as is PD compatible at more than 18w.
*
yup.. i used to bought alot after market cable with braided 1... after update ios.. only my ori apple cable able to fast charge now...

I used AirJacket matte before, but the coating came off and become clear type... a bit skeptical on the quality now. But then again, no case for XS Max from PowerSupport.
They gave me tracking number but not able to track sad.gif Anyone has T&L contact number where I could call to confirm if the tracking number is right? Thanks in advance!
*
probably not pick up by courier yet.. that why you cant track

Weird. It works for me all the time. But device will get a little bit warm as expected due to high current input.

I got original Apple usb c to lighting for office use and 2m baseus for home 🤩.. now always use fast charging instead of normal iPad charger..

It doesn’t not charge if use type c cable to lighting with baseus headphone adaptor + lighting .. but if I switch it back to iPad charger or 5w charger I works. Maybe only low voltage works with the headphone + lighting
*
yup.. its still charge.. but not fast charged.. unless you using apple ori type c lightning cable

QUOTE(kuntaker @ Sep 29 2018, 09:09 AM)
This is the one after case, lol no difference of what colour. been using silicone case for years
*
bro.. try leather... i used silicone once.. but alot fur when take out from pocket...

QUOTE(Xirality @ Sep 30 2018, 09:04 PM)
Most likely official Apple leather case, do you have any recommendation?
Yeah just finished  laugh.gif

Initially I was waiting but realise online is cheaper than RRP plus 2 physical sim tray
*
i pass by several apple store in sg to check xs leather case... surprisingly sold out.. left couple silicone... using some cheap tpu casing while msia release and grab 1

QUOTE(yclam5729 @ Oct 1 2018, 10:18 AM)
I have been using Mcdodo USB-C to lightning charger and cable since a year ago, was enjoying fast charging on my X & ipad Pro until i want to get 2nd set and was told by seller no longer support fast charging since 11.4. Apple original cable still affordable, RM83 with that kind of quality is acceptable, 3rd party USB-C charger still ok to be used for fast charging.

Btw, there is a video mentioned wireless charging faster on Max as bigger/better coil. I notice that as well when my display is still on for listening to music and whatsapp still I am gaining charging rather than slowly losing battery or maintain. Old wireless chargers still works.
*
yup.. that the case... im been explaining here since 11.3.1... after market no longer support fast charged.. yes.. i do have 1 ori cable.. but the quality really meh... no choice.. for now have to stick to it..

QUOTE(e46 @ Oct 1 2018, 01:11 PM)

hmmm, seems slow charging 40% for 1.5 hours. maybe battery health apps locked for slow charging?

QUOTE(Benefon @ Oct 2 2018, 01:44 PM)
Not too sure, seem like QC 3.0 more faster than PD.
Will test again on QC.

After reach on 99% this is take extremely slow to reached 100%. Maybe is iOS power protection
*
This is wrong too... as i mentioned before.. only apple ori type-c lightning cable able to use PD fast charge since ios 11.3.1.. after market cable still works.. but NORMAL charging speed.. that why took so long..


QUOTE(celciuz @ Oct 2 2018, 01:49 PM)
iPhone doesn't support QC 3.0 right, so it should be using the standard 2.4A charging?
*
QUOTE(Benefon @ Oct 2 2018, 01:57 PM)
Phone support QC3.0 charging
*
bro benefon.. dont give out fault information ler...iphone NEVER support QC3.0... you need qualcomm chip in order to use QC3.0.. it just charge your iphone with normal charging 2.4A...

actually this type of face scan via video camera quite violet our privacy. we never know how the phone react to server and the surrounding was capture 24/7 via the so call facial scan

i got one time throw a warning statement to my koliq using iphone 6 or 7 which home button with finger scanner. i told him u had conveniently set ur big thumb print biometric into apple server. congrats! But,  most android phone only use index finger

privacy and security always a concern.  smile.gif

Hi bro, I need your advice.

Lightning to USB C cable from Apple store.

$49 sgd for 2m
$29 sgd for 1m

Would you buy 2 of 1m instead of 2m Long?
