Apple leather case is nice, but if u use it longer (light colour) there will be dirt mark which makes it quit ugly.

you can try clean with cloth with warm water with some soap(i use my body shampoo), gently clean the case then wipe dry it with another piece of dry cloth...

i tried charging using the usb c to lightning from apple, mcdodo usb PD charger, i use ampere app to check when charging from 30% the wattage is only 14.64watt only. Does it mean my charger cannot support 9V/2A? but the charger mentioned it can go 9V/3A, 14.5V/3A, no sign of 9V/2A. so in this case, we should get precisely 9V/2A charger to get 18w?
*
bro.. did you try charging from 0% or near to 0%? mayb you could get near to peak 18W.. the charging do not always stay with peak power and not to forget there will be power lost during the charging heat, distance etc.. It the same scenario i got it from ipad charger. I do not get consistent 11W measure with external power meter.

i noticed you check with ampere app? the data might not be precise.. i believe apple do not allow or somehow difficult to access to those hardware data? Im not too sure bout this.. best to check with external power meter... which i do not have at this moment for type-c input...

but if you could get 0-50%+- in 30mins.. your charger is doing alright.

i see, thanks for the info. i did not try to discharge the phone until near 0% ever lol.. but i think the speed is way much faster than normal ipad charger. Yeah the apps did mentioned that they actually only calculate how much time it need to get 1% and do rough estimation only.

now hopefully they can come out with cheaper usb c to lightning cable that is MFi. Apple is way too expensive and the quality is meh.
*
yea.. it should perform faster than ipad charger.. i believe your ipad charger is bundle from ipad pro right? then it should be 10W charger, that why you see the big different..

yup.. hopefully apple release MFi for 3rd party and china able to reverse engineering it.. brows.gif brows.gif else it not going be cheap even third party

And spoil their cable business? Nah I think iPhones are gonna stay with lightning for a little while more. UNLESS devs dig up some info in iOS 13 that states iphones support 4K display output. Otherwise, I see no point Apple changing their port.

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 31 2018, 11:23 AM)
I doubt it, guys. I think Apple's intention with the new iPad Pro is to replace more competitor's laptops and Surfaces out there, hence they need the versatility of the USB C to compete. Doubt they will kill off the lightning port on the iPhones.

I could be wrong - and hopefully so.
*
couldnt agree more.. and the size too.. i think usb c slightly thicker compare to lightning..might be difficult for the placement..

not to mention apple can do alot restriction to lightning but i dont think they can with type c as there are protocol to follow..

best to wait hacker get some leak information from ios13.. then we will know...

of cause if type-c it would be great

dear all,

those bought HK set or SG set, can we purchase the apple protection plus from local retail here?

i got friend bundle with the said apple protection for rm399 only. against drop, and theft.

please enlighten. thx
*
Nope.. i believe those apple protection plus is from authorize seller itself, for example you bought with machines mean with you can claim with machines.. Switch claim with switch.. Is quite different compare to apple care..

any third party USB C to Lightning cable available in the market?
*
many, but only apple original support PD fast charge.


QUOTE(benny888 @ Nov 2 2018, 08:10 AM)
Depend on what brand...I have a cheapo generic one and at times phone showed incompatible cable? My other Remax one does support fast charging, at least much faster than default charger /ipad charger when plugged into Aukey QC3 charger
*
hello, yes it does charge with faster speed.. but not apple fast charge level.. sure it it faster than default charger which is 5W, ipad charger which is 10W... If you got ipad pro 12W charger, you get similar speed with PD with after market cable..

PD with after market will charge with 5V/2.4A mean 12W which is the same speed as ipad pro charger...

PD with ori type c cable will charge with 18W...

QUOTE(Benefon @ Nov 2 2018, 08:18 AM)
That is not for all 3rd party cables are not supported.
Can try with : Baseus & Mcdodo 1m long cables, so far the duration time just slightly slower a bit than the original apple 1m long lightning to USB C cable only.
Pay lesser and get the fast charge result, why not.
*
never learned.. i speechless.. go ahead..

always mentioned 3rd party able to fast charge.. then explain why when use mcdodo is slower by 30Mins compare to Apple ori cable. If it really support fast charge.. it will charge the same speed!!

All i ever want to share is if you feel apple ori type-c to lightning is expensive and want to opt for cheaper after market cable and if you dont mind the 30mins slower charging time.. you might as well just bought ANY after market 5v/2.4A charger and use with the cable come together with your phone... you will get similar/same charging speed with PD charger + after market cable.. it EVEN CHEAPER!

Haha who care? Money is mine. What I want to spend to 3rd party or original is my own risk.

As long I got both original and 3rd party cable.

Speed for me what's the biggest deal?

Please tell me... You wanna pay for RM85 to buy just a little bit more full speed vs pay lesser for 3rd party cable for slower a bit.

You wanna learn more on paper please go far away.

Thanks, Do Not Tag me again.

The choices is mine..  😇😇😇
*
of cause the choice is your! and i NEVER intend to stop what are you doing that all your money!!! But do not share the wrong info here!!!! alot come here to seek for information.. not FAULT information... why such stubborn??!

YES! what you mentioned is correct! Rm85 for a cable is expensive.. but buying a after market PD Rm50+mcdodoRM30 is RM80.. which is more expensive than getting ANY after marker 5v/2.4A and use with ori cable came in box which will get you the similar speed!!!

btw.. 30mins faster charging in 2 hours ++ is 20-30% faster... not a bit.. even your math fail..

I think you are the one stubborn also, die die must be follow the specs.

Lol, people's already given you a idea for 3rd party able to use for fast charge, you can’t listen at all.

Everything must be followed the specs...
*
if everything in this world dont follow specs.. there will be chaos...

just answer my simple question that you being avoiding.. if you can answer it i stfu and say sorry and never step into this thread again...

Mcdodo able to support fast charge.. then why it is slower 30mins compare to apple ori type-c lightning?

Right
I on my current setup is happy with it
I am simply unwilling to spend RM189 on the USB PD and another rm89 on the cable just to get a faster charging time of plus 20%??
*
that very nice if you happy with your current setup..

Yes is expensive until apple allow 3rd party MFi cable..

btw you can get any RM50 PD charger and pair with Rm89 cable that you need for fast charge.. charger brick all the same... just cable make the diff.. FYI.

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Nov 2 2018, 10:07 AM)
i think if u use 3rd party max speed u can get is 2.4a only.. 2.4a is not fast charging. If ur speed can 0-50% in 30mins that is fast charging. 2.4a cannot do that, i believe ur third party cable also cannot do that. 2.4a 12w charging is faster than the 5w yes, but that is not fast charging.
*
lol.. shh.. better dont speak.. else labelled as busy body.

sorry for not using multi quote..

I second that. It just don't make sense to spend that much on USB PD.
*
no doubt.. but my main sharing is.. what you achieve with after market PD can be achieve with ANY 5v/2.4A charger with ANY type A to lighting(come together in box) for even cheaper price...

No need to spend extra getting on USB PD charger + cable to do that

lol no worries la.. this not going to happen so soon..mayb all ur cable koyak dy.. apple still havent release type-c for iphone... in fact might not be happening.. type-c is bigger in size compare to lightning.. every little space is important in phone design...

Seems like iOS 12.1 is still having the antenna gate issue or is this a new issue. There are times that my device is showing 4G but I couldn't send out or receive  WhatsApp message and Safari also won't load anything but this solved after toggling the airplane mode or restarting the phone. Anyone here has the same thing too?

me.. i tot it was maxis problem.. i called several times pass few days to maxis... they mentioned no service interrupt in my area...

probably i will put back my sim card to 7plus and try for a week... will update..

Nope never reset my network before. Not sure if this affects phone call as well or not but there's one morning when I am trying to make an outgoing call, it doesn't connect at all even though I tried multiple times. I mean there's no dialing tone and the phone showed call failed. Restarted my phone and it is back to normal so I guess it is the same cause too.

chrischiang When this issue happens to you, can you still receive call or make outgoing call?
*
i didnt try make any call.. very less using call.. i didnt notice as well.. but feel weird 30mins without any msg.. usually i got alot of chat.. i try checking whatsapp.. all show connecting... until i toggle airplane mode then its working again...
