Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a wireless charger for my XS Max and saw AliExpress got this promo for RM4.00, wondering if anyone purchase it before:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000005215827.html

Looking at the customers review (over 1000), mainly quite positive. Would like to try it out lol.

Also for those using wireless charging, do you find the charging time very different from using cable? Want to know whether the difference in timing is a lot or not really (difference of less than 30 mins to fully charger or more than 1 hour to 100%).

To those of you who experiencing the phone battery capacity dropping, did u guys turn on the "optimized battery charging"? The phone charges really slow but doesn't harm the battery i guess.

I'm using XS Max with the original charger as a secondary phone for a few months now. Still 100%. But I never leave it charged overnight.

Question to all - have you guys used wireless charging? Looking at Anker wireless charging with the fast charging of 7.5W for iPhone since now got sale haha (ori RM120++ now can get for RM40++). I'm ok with the longer charging time, just want to know if you guys faced any problem if every day use wireless charging with the phone.

Hey guys, a bit late to the new updates. For those who upgraded to iOS 14, what are your thoughts on it?

I like the idea of widgets and changing the look & feel, but when I see on YouTube it's actually using the Shortcut app, seems like a big circle and roundabout way to it.

Does the widgets take up more battery/RAM space? Will the phone become more sluggish/slow?

Hi guys, want to ask a question about storage.

I'm using the 64GB model cuz poorfag, lately checking my storage usage I see got this "icloud drive" with 8GB usage. I've untick all icloud sync except for Whatsapp because of the auto back up, so I'm sure the usage doesn't include any photos/videos.

Is there a way to remove this icloud drive? I'm just worried it will remove my Whatsapp text history.

Picture below:

Go to your iCloud setting and untick iCloud drive.

When i try to untick icloud drive, it says my Whatsapp changes will be lost, then the option to select is "Delete from iPhone". Does this means deleting the 8GB cache, or is it delete my Whatsapp data?

I only concerned in keeping the Whatsapp chat history, the pics and videos is ok to be removed.

It's been there for the whole 2 months aredi haha

Hey guys, anyone purchase 2nd hand XS Max before from resellers? Any good and safe recommendations ah.

Looking to buy a 2nd XS Max after my current one died and cannot revive. Abit worried seeing those recon or refurbished units as not sure the insides are original and whether they changed up the screen etc (plus the price also not that cheap, still around RM2K+).

Do you guys know if there's any computer software to check whether the insides (screen, battery, camera) are not original? Am afraid to buy 2nd hand from garage sale or carousell as not sure if those are recon units as well.

Hi. May I know what happen to your XS Max? I also bought a 2nd MY unit from the Garage Sales. So far mine was quite good.

My XS Max is original from machines but recently can't be booted and i google seems like motherboard issue haha. So was looking around to get a 2nd hand XS Max since i still got phone cases etc and no money to buy the newer Max which is around RM5-6K.

Anyone uses fast charger for the XS Max? Is it safe/long term good for the battery life?

I’m looking at this UGreen 20W fast charger:
https://shopee.com.my/product/331309804/115...56-1652864377.9

From 0-80% in 1 hour is indeed quite impressive (or so they claim). Not sure if it actually works compared the ori charger.

Anyone got similar experience? Cheers

Recently dropped my iphone XS max and the screen was a bit cracked. Still able to use it like normal until recently when kena rain water - i think some of the water seeped into the screen (although i had a screen protector on it).

Phone screen flicker then fade and now it's totally black. Question:
1. Anyone know where I can fix/change the XS Max screen in affordable pricing? How much is the avg market price?
2. Should I try to wait and dry it out for a few days?

The phone is still on as I can hear the lock/unlock sound, and I can toggle the silent button. Just the screen is dead, totally black.

Havent back up sumore haha

Hi all XS Max users, at what point do u change ur phone battery to a new one? I’m currently at 78% and iPhone just suggests to “Service” it. My phone has been getting pretty hot lately with just simple browsing on Shopee or Lazada (socmed and WhatsApp is ok tho).

Also who’s on iOS 16.6? Is it better or worse performance? I’m currently on 16.1, unsure whether to proceed.
