Apple approves first vent-mount MagSafe car charger - listed for $100

[backstreetboy]

Well that is embarrassing.

I hope this is one of you spare throwaway troll accounts that you posted from.

For iSheep yes...

Both our cars need cabled connections for Apple's car play so not really a product I'm interested in.

Instead of filling the battery directly through MagSafe charging, they use Qi wireless charging, which offers only half the charging speed of MagSafe on iPhone.

Is there anyone on the market offering slower Qi wireless charging than the iPhone?
Or are they the slowest out there ?

If charging speed is important get the aforementioned magsafe Belkin Boost Charge Pro.

They just don't get it, some people have invested so much in junk throughout their years they don't even know there are way better products out there. But anyways if you don't want to elevate your life with quality then it is on you.

That's what we've been trying to tell you for years now but you stick to Apple and BMW.

Are there better alternatives, can you name them please.

15W, and you and I have been down this road before, haven't we?

You're a fast charge kinda guy and I'm a MagSafe kinda guy, and the world is big enough to accommodate both of us... Arguing either is right or wrong or better or worse is just silly.

... and yet, here we are, with you implying that anything other than the one option that suits you is wrong.

Again.

I'm talking about the 7.5w Qi charging.

Is that slowest on the market today ? Genuine question

It's pretty cool that Apple did it just the way you prefer

No time to verify but check out #TeamPixel, in many ways those okes are waay behind the curve (charging wise).
Worse than Apple & Sammy I believe.

I am with @epah on this.

If you can't afford something as basic as this, you should not own an iPhone or any Apple product and rather use some cheap Chinese brand like Xiaomi. Quality products are not for cheapskates and the poor.

Yeah, but apple need to up their game before I display something like this in my Bentley. It's still ok for my BMW though.

You can get 30W on a fast charge now, and that's up from the 12W when Apple first enabled fast charging... Give it a little time like I did waiting on the MagSafe charger, and you'll have your super-super-duper fast charging.

But his old android is already doing 800W on fast charge, when is Tim Cook going to catch up? Should we expect this in 2035?

Apple approves first car-mount MagSafe charger — but it will cost over R2,000

Apple has certified the first car-mount MagSafe charger more than two years after launching the wireless charging standard on the iPhone 12 in 2020.

The Belkin Boost Charge Pro wireless charging mount is now available for pre-order from Apple.com and comes with a hefty price tag of $99.95.

I'll be buying this as soon as it's available locally.

Do you think Apple have the capability to introduce must faster xxxW fast charging for iPhone and choose not to, or is it beyond their capabilities as a tech company?

If the former, do you wonder why they haven't implemented it?

In other words, is it important to Apple to join the dick measuring contest with Huawei and Samsung etc that impresses children and simpletons, or should they do what they believe delivers the best product for their users?

I'm searching your post but I can't really see the answer to my question .

I'm trying to understand your logic though .

So Huawei & Samsung improve and Apple don't - then it's a dick measuring contest ?
And if Apple improve something - it is the best decision everywhere ?

In other words according to a situation and every case, Apple is the 'winner' ?

It's interesting logic - I'll tell you that !

EDIT : I guess it's like an app crash on iOS is the developer at fault & a shitty app, but if the same thing happens on Android is the shitty OS ?
Same way of thinking ?

I don't say that, nor do I think that. The important word in your reply though is "improve".

Is fast charging an improvement? For you and your use case, clearly it is, but for me I put my phone on a cradle at night and that is that. It's been the same every night for as long as I can remember so if it trickle feeds after 80% and it's 100 by the time I wake up then that's great for me. You obviously have different habits.

So for me, not an improvement, and I suppose I trust Apple engineers to know that this trickle feed method is best for my phone. So the question remains, if fast charging is an improvement, why don't Apple implement it?

And what you always seem to not understand either deliberately or not, is that if it didn't suit me I'd change to a phone that does. It obviously matters to you, so I guess it's up to you to decide to weigh up the pros and cons next time you buy a phone.

In other words according to a situation and every case, Apple is the 'winner' ?

No. I am the winner through picking a phone and system that suits me.

It's interesting logic - I'll tell you that !

What's interesting is you thinking everyone has the same use case and obsession with specs as you do. The logic is that I like my phone and it does what I need it to and the integration it offers helps me with my life. What is so weird about that?

If I needed fast charging would I change? Who knows, then I'd need to weigh up the other positives and negatives and see where the tipping point is.

EDIT : I guess it's like an app crash on iOS is the developer at fault & a shitty app, but if the same thing happens on Android is the shitty OS ?

I can't remember the last time I had an app crash on iOS so I can't really comment. Mind you, I don't get crashes on my Samsung A50 either.

Same way of thinking ?

How many times have you levelled this same point here and how many replies have you had? Why is it not sinking in that on balance people are happy with their iPhones? Yet you seem obsessed to the point of distraction with trying to get people to admit they are accepting second best, when in all reality, they are perfectly happy with their choice whether it is second best in some areas or not.

This a thread about wireless charging ?
Why are you trying your best to derail it ?

Oh, right. Sorry about that. It wasn't my intention.
