What’s wrong with the leather case? Color fading? Leather breaking?
My leather case also in bad condition in terms of color but it’s ok for me…a layer of protection which is important for me…

My bad, is that fast charging cable?

yes, iPhone uses Power Delivery for fast charge, basically any third party cable usb-c to lightning which support PD can fast charge like the cable from the box

Thanks for replying. Which mean socket adapter for iPhone XR, with the cable from iPhone 12 pro max can charge fast too?
*
cannot sweat.gif Xr stock adapter output 5W max, you can still charge, but 12 pro max can draw only max 5W from this charger

if you want fast charge 12 pro max, you need look for PD charger output 20W or at least 18W
Xr stock charger 5V/1A = 5W, PD charger can output 9V/2.xA making it ~20W to be draw from 12 pro max

Ahhh thankss, i tot it will fast charge too. What about iPad mini charger? Not sure whats the diff between charging with ipad mini cable and the one from the box. Will it hurts our phone?
*
there are two iPad charger long long ago, one can output 5V/2A 10W, another one can output 5V/2.4A 12W, recent iPad model charger is PD type, 18-20W type
iPad mini charger i think is the 5V2A type, so max output is 10W only biggrin.gif compare to Xr charger adapter 5W, it will charge faster by 2x already sweat.gif
you might need a PD charger adapter if you want fully utilize the fast charge that 12 pro max can draw ~20W

few brands 20W PD charger which is cheaper than Apple 20W (MYR99)
https://shopee.com.my/UGREEN-Power-Delivery...3440.2682455660
https://shopee.com.my/Aukey-PA-Y25-20W-Powe...7173.3662124351

if you have budget biggrin.gif buy the Apple 20W, else the above ugreen and aukey is quite good in terms of pricing, since PD is quite common now, the price for PD charger is relatively cheap after all...

another option is ugreen 65W, comes with two type-c PD port, can max output 65W and able to charge laptop (just normal laptop, not that kind of powerful gaming laptop required 100W+) i bought this cheap during sales

Hey all, is Aukey 65w charger too high for iPhone 12 Pro? Because the difference is so huge between 20w and 65w

no issue smile.gif electronic/electrical devices draw power in watt according to the volt-ampere match, not the charger/power supply push what ever watt it has sweat.gif

wah yesterday my phone flung out from my hand while I was walking, and the phone parachuted down to the rough floor. Luckily I have UAG civilian on. But I'm still feeling very shaken from the entire ordeal. Maybe got internal damage on my phone. T___T

Tried everything bro. Nothing works.

Coz bought it from Maxis, and Maxis told me to deal with Apple Store. Do you think I can claim from Maxis? Any experiences in these kind of things?
Need ideas. Thanks.

telco no longer process warranty claim, need send to AASP, it has been like this few years ago for iPhone MY set, regardless it is purchased from telco or not, all warranty claim send back to AASP smile.gif

Still don’t trust wireless charging cause the heat produced is substantial enough to reduce your battery health much faster than it should be
*
i am using wireless charging 90% of the time, rarely use cable... 5-10W i checked iPhone draw from my wireless charger
my iPhone 12 Pro since 13th Nov til now 6months+ battery health still 100% smile.gif

i only charge from ~20% to 100% twice... most of the time charge between 40%-80%

You’re using 5W or 20w adapter? I’m using 20w now. 5W too slow.

I’m entering the 8 months battery still 100%.

Most of time use till 17-18% charge till 94% .

Not gamer (game intensively impact BH)

i do gaming quite alot, some is RPG game.. somehow i notice we should not always charge to 100%, just charge and use whenever we want biggrin.gif

How should we charge the battery? Cause I’m recently addicted to some games from Apple Arcade as well.

You meant the MagSafe duo? Doesn’t wireless charging affect battery health too as mentioned by somebody here.

my 5-10W wireless charger didnt generate much heat, magsafe different, can up to 15W...

So you mean lesser watt is better for the battery health in the long run?
*
charge slower wont heat up biggrin.gif

but ofcourse more or less same i feel

let say you charge at 20W cable, it takes 30mins from 30-80% (example)
and you charge wirelessly 5W, it could takes 1.x hours from 30-80%

more heat with 20W but reaching 80% faster
less heat with 5W, but the phone keep charging for longer

my practice is rarely charge til 100%.... i always charge as i like between 40-80%, been practicing this since iPhone X, 11 til now 12, my phone battery health always ~98% after 12 months+

watch from minute 3 if you interested, not sure how true, i think have something to believe biggrin.gif

Nice game though after you understand the mechanics. But yeah it heats up the phone too much. What are you playing now too?

MOBA like LOL/ML biggrin.gif and Oceanhorn/Fantasian/Wonderbox from Apple Arcade

Saddle brown.

I read from online, it seems 12 series ones are not that good. The patina is really weird looking this round.

probably due to the sharp edge because 12 series is square laugh.gif

So all the while you're using the 5W brick and wireless charging to maintain this 98% health? biggrin.gif
*

my 12 pro draw ~7W from my wireless charger, my old wireless charger that able to output 10W

Hi guys, does anyone using camera protector such as the picture below?

will it affect the photo quality?
user posted image

confirm affect, is up to you if you care about the image quality or lens protection sweat.gif
you can look for ring type, which is not cover the lens glass, protect the surrounding circular, at least protrude slightly if you put your phone on table, it will touch the protection ring first...

Can with headset, soundbar or speaker, but definitely not from phone speaker.

I always want lossless from Apple so I can stop subscribe to Tidal and it is official permanent stop subscription now. Haha!

great thumbup.gif
btw, if for iPhone 12 Pro, let say use the lightning to 3.5mm connector <--> wired headphone that support lossless, is this combination works? is that wired headphone have to support lossless or any wired headphone will do? sweat.gif
