QUOTE(9926 @ Apr 2 2025, 03:48 PM) Hear from my friend that charging the ipad via 3rd party charger and cable will make the battery health drop sooner compare with using ori charger, is it true? First time apple user here use apple charger is the best. 20w. another trusted brand is ugreen 20w -35w (depend on apple devices) other need to be careful as in the long run, use higher watt is bad for battery. Dont dare to use other china brand / third party as it tend to get hotter on adapter and bad for devices battery This post has been edited by ericlaiys: Apr 2 2025, 03:53 PM

I have multiple GAN charger at home as I used for others android devices, each will just pair to the right charging protocol when plugged in, and I thought Ipad mini should do the same...until I hear the statement from my friend which make me confuse

Not every port support the same voltage and protocol depend on the manufacturer . Just most charger are intelligent if you plugin multiple device it will regular different voltage or speed for each device I am using this when portable

I have an original Apple adapter but I still use my own charger for iPhone, iPad and other Apple devices. Surviving until today, whether it degrades battery health or not, I can't really testify.

Decided to get ipad mini 7 and waiting for 6.6 promo
I intend to use it mainly for note taking and light entertainment
Should i get the Apple Pencil USB-C? Main concern is whether 3rd party pencil might not work as good as Apple Pencil

For writing it is as smooth and reliable like apple pencil.. only consider buy apple pencil if you are into drawing.. apple pencil pro that is.. otherwise just go for the china brand.. i recommend goojodog pencil.

Initially, I didn't want to get an Apple Pencil anymore since I underutilized the Pencil 2 when I had the Mini 6. However, I couldn't resist the huge discount as I paid only RM 246.75 for the Pencil Pro. On and off there are promos.

 From Tiktok shop haha. Shopee big cashback voucher normally exclude Apple products. Lazada kinda sneaky. 8pm got RM1k voucher (min RM2k spend). But during that period, those “excluded” Apple products will be temporarily out of stock so you can’t even proceed.
