guys, got my ip12 pro max on 13th nov, for the first week i hv no issues. woke up at 8am with 100% can tahan until second day afternoon 1pm like that. but now, with the same usage, can use until 9pm the same day only.

Anyone suffer similar issue? I doubt the battery degrade so fast, within 2 weeks of usage?

My serial number starts with F2XXX

Honestly, I don’t know how to appreciate MagSafe charger. It’s a slow charger, to be fair I’m not expecting it to be fast charging like the 20w wall adapter but it’s still slow in my opinion. Yes, I know about 15w vs 20w, still a bit disappointed though.

Practicality wise, it’s not that practical either. I will need to pull it out to detach from my phone, rather than easily lift up and leave the charger behind. I did know about this already from YouTube videos before trying out.

Another point, mine is just a 1:1 clone unit, not sure how the ori one actually fares but I don’t think it would differ a lot. I have Googled about this issue and people are complaining about slow charging as well.

I’m glad I didn’t spend for the real MagSafe charger though I have 15% discount from Digi for accessories. It’s just not my cup of tea and I understand everyone will have different views. I would like to hear from other owners as well. biggrin.gif

But I thought only Apple original MagSafe coupled with the original 20w adapter will yield a 15w charging power on iPhone 12/12pro/12promax?

I am willing to try it but afraid that it leaves a Mark at the back of my leather case.

Me too. I prefer wire charging vs wireless charging. I’m using wireless charging for my AirPods Pro only.

For weekdays, 1 charge can last me 1 day usage for my IPhone 12P, hence I use old iPhone charger during sleep time and unplug it if I wake up in the middle of the night.

Only use quick charger if I’m in rush...

This is my main criteria for choosing a phone as well, coz I don’t want to be looking for a plug point in the middle of work or carry around a power bank which I personally feel is so 2015-ish laugh.gif

I’ve never been a fan of wireless charging even on all my previous Android phones so I’m probably not going to appreciate all the MagSafe accessories intended for that purpose as well. I think the two best usages of wireless charging is to a) leave it charging overnight while you sleep; and b) let it charge while you’re at your workstation in the office but I don’t do either of those laugh.gif

The 2 scenarios are the perfect scenarios for wireless charging.

As a single-charge daily person, I only charge it before I heard to bed, and remove it from the charger by 2.30am. Every time I do this, my phone is always 100% and ready for the next day. I don’t like charging my phone in between the day.

MagSafe’s pretty niffy so far, when you wake up in the middle of the night and remove it from the charger, way easier than trying to unplug the cable from the port.

Wire charging is such a table clutter, for me personally. Unfortunately the MagSafe charger is also another clutter, but it looks more presentable than a cable dangling on the table. I’m just OCD with messy tables.

I bought this to hide all the wires so not so messy. One thing I dun like about wireless charger is it tends to make my phone warmer while charging which I’m worry it will deteriorate my phone’s battery.

For me magsafe js a gimmick. I’m just using normal wireless charger (all my wireless charger came from Samsung, got it during their promo and pre-order phone) which maybe slower than magsafe but good enough for overnight slow charge and easier to lift up the phone compared to magsafe.

I guess apple just wanna prepare the users with portless iPhone 13 hence the introduction of the magsafe.

Wow that’s pretty cool, DIY?

Yes wireless charging does make your phone warmer, hence it is recommended to do so in an AC room. In terms of battery wise, I think it will be more or less the same, just make sure that it’s a MFI certified charger then you’re good to go.

It’s not a gimmick, it’s more or less addressing the issues with most Qi chargers, which is placement. Unless you have a charger with AIRA (Nomad Base Station Pro), you will often miss out on the ‘sweet’ charging spot when using conventional wireless chargers.

I wouldn’t say that Magsafe is the best wireless charger, it’s not even ‘wireless’ to begin with, but it’s one of the few 1st party Apple products available in the market. Technology is still new, perhaps later we will see OEMs start to develop Magsafe into their repertoire and we will be blessed with a plethora of Magsafe certified chargers, hopefully way better than Apple’s.

Looking forward to Nomad’s update, was so keen on getting the Base Station Pro, then Magsafe happened. mega_shok.gif

Exactly, my charging habit has been the same since iPhone 6 Plus, a charge the night before till 100% - usually till 11pm or 12am, then unplug and the next day am ready to go and the battery will usually last me till I get home in the evening - if it doesn’t then I’ll manage it carefully till it does laugh.gif it’s been good so far, never had the need to charge midway through the day or look for a charger, except during the iPhone X and XS Max, I had to manage it a little bit better smile.gif

I won’t go as far as to say MagSafe is all a gimmick (although it does fall pretty close in that category) but some may find it useful and some may not. I’m with the latter smile.gif

Nahhhh. Its still a gimmick for the time being which only to address minor issue in the name of (loosely based) of innovation with intention to prep the fans and milking the cow. When it move to 2nd phase it will be better because or removal of the port (which indirectly forcing the customer to use it/adapt in typical apple fashion way)
For the records i dont recall having any issue with phone placement or miss-charge when using those wireless chargers be it on iPhone or Android phones. perhaps it apple intention to limit wireless charger potential and focus on this proprietary approach so that they can gain more $$$.
Wireless charger also start with some weightage tend towards gimmick aeons time ago (as that time it was pretty slow) but progressively improve while magsafe just putting the cherry on top of the cake and make it “huu-haa” as the best innovation in years. If its require human to unplug the magsafe charger hence not much different with the current port while traditional wireless charger u can just lift the phone up effortlessly.

Anyway like attw mentioned, some may think it’s useful and some may not. For me its a nope.
