did you guys even read properly in the first place?

Apple only starts the throttle if you have the first reboot when the battery couldnt provide the required power

man people and shallow reading doh.gif

Anyone having issues with your iPhone XS charging on ONE side of the Lightning connector only?

Using the original charger and cable and I noticed that my phone will only charge on one side of the Lightning connector but not the other. A bit strange as I assumed that since it's reversible, both orientations will work.

i got that sometimes for my ip6

but i think its just the gold contacts wearing out in certain parts of the connector

Disable auto brightness at the Accessibility, but seems its still auto dim the display at certain point, brightness bar still at max level when i checked it.

Any solution for this? Kinda annoyed when playing games :/

dimming of the screen is normal for OLED iPhones when the the phone is getting too hot

i think u get it wrong. PD advantage is from 1-50.. not from 1-100.. When u in rush and need to charge ur phone, this is where PD come in handy (with ori type-c ligtning). Yes ipad charger is slower by 30min. but in 30 mins in 2 hours plus is like 20-25% of different.. that a big different.

Like what you mentioned leaving there to charge full, then you might as well dont use ipad charger aso.. the 5W will charge it full too
i did it on my 7plus.. it doesnt provide drop protection.. the feeling like sticky sticky..if you plan to use ur phone naked, then this a good scratch resistant.. but if you plan to use case.. really no point..some case cant fit in then u have to change to case friendly version... after i stick i not really used to it... when i switch to xs, i didnt even consider it..now when u wan to change they charge per service.. last time is like foc
*
to add on, now imagine 1-2 years from now, when the battery is quite degraded

and then due to carelessness you forgot to charge and need to go out urgently, thats where fast charger comes in handy

as of now for fresh phones, its not necessary at all

but if youre diligent enough, you shouldnt face that problem in first place

oh i didnt zoom in
i notice urs is kinda yellowish too
is it caused by light or what?

have u compared the quality taken by other model side by side?

i am not happy with the camera although it is said to be better

do note it depends on the lighting

try turn off SmartHDR and see if any changes

Apple's SmartHDR is one of the very few phones that does HDR on the fly and it adjusts itself based on what the algorithm thinks is the best colour (which obviously isnt lol)

I have tried.  did u see my x and xs phone pic side by side? x is better right? i snot it outdoor. for some reason i notice all the youtube xs pics are very nice dont know if my phone camera has pro or not

i notice xs is very powdery/beauty (light colour) even using the rear camera which i hate it very much.
*
yes, the older iphone cameras have a diff ISP method than latest one i noticed too

youtube XS can be misleading as the youtubers may have touched up the photos

not sure if it can be called powdery, but its more like an oil paint kind of effect. im not digging it

but thats usually in certain scenarios and SmartHDR doing its work again. SmartHDR mostly shines in bright environments
