The only use case i can think of is if you do heavy photo or cinematography and need to move it to a desktop or something quick.

I know there are other ways just thinking of use cases

You'll be able to use a cheap dongle (that you probably already have if you're a computer toucher) to get HDMI or Ethernet in a pinch.
The video quality should be better too, since the Lightning adapter used a weird compressed video stream.

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


I tried the Stand By mode , wired charging but sitting up against the back of my head board.

Looked pretty cool but the time was 2 hours behind what my phone showed and it said CUP in the very middle of the clock.

Hey thread!

I’ve been rocking an XR for over 4 1/2 years now, but plan to upgrade to a 15 Pro Max. I have one of these wireless chargers that I use at night for my XR. It’s always worked fine for me and my spouse’s 11.

However, I don’t know anything about wireless charging standards and have no clue whether or not it will work with the 15PM (or whether it’s even a good idea to use an off-brand wireless charger with a new device)? It would be great to not have to change my wireless charge but I will if the thread experts say it’s necessary or just a good idea to avoid off-brand issues.

Thanks! :)

I actually used this exact same charger with my 13 Pro when I had an Apple Watch.

The problem I ran into is that if you have a case that protects the camera bump it's very hard to get centered right over the charger because it needs to be hanging over the edge to make flat contact. I would often wake up to see my phone slightly lifted off the charger and only be at 3% charged.

It may work with the 15 Pro but it's not a great solution. I would get a proper MagSafe setup.

That’s CUPERTINO time. Why would you want any other time displayed? It’s what Steve would have wanted.

Wait, seriously?!?!? I jokingly told my wife that it was Cupertino time when she asked what CUP meant.

I haven’t tried to order on launch day since the iPhone 6 came out. Do they still sell out, or is there really no need to get up early for 512gb 15 pro in natural?

Not getting a no carrier option when setting up the pre-order through Apple. I’m on Xfinity mobile but didn’t have an issue when I ordered my current 13 pro for launch day. Now I’m only getting options for the big three carriers and nothing for just setting up later.

Gonna try to set up financing through my Apple Card. They made the program worse. You still get an unlocked phone, you still get 3% cashback and 24 month 0% APR financing, but you have to activate your phone with one of the big three carriers, which costs you a $35 activation fee. Apparently Apple gets some of that fee. What a racket.

I’m having second thoughts about upgrading from my 13 Pro, thinking about holding out for another year. Yes my battery is already down to 87%, but I can’t go USB-C only unless I also upgrade my AirPod Pro 1. The earbuds are only 15 months old (case is 27 months old) so battery life on them is fine.

edit: That's a silly reason to not upgrade. Going with the 15 Pro 256GB blue.
