Amazon Prime Day: The Best Apple Deals

Dumb Question: I don't have a 4K TV or receiver; will the Apple TV 4K work with older systems (and then I'm prepared when my TV finally dies)?

So long as you have hdmi on your older setup (you didn't specify how old lol), no worries.

Anker one is way better. I have both and Apple's MagSafe slows down charging (to almost non-existent) when the phone starts to get warm. I get why it does that, but when I'm out traveling, I need that juice now.

How low is nonexistent? Does it drain faster than it's charging? Or is it on par?

Neighbor is having a 40th bday celebration and I have no idea what to get her but she has iPhones and Apple watches so this would fit the bill nicely.

I went with a stainless Apple Watch series 7 45mm open box. Couldn't pass it up at $507. That's only $7 more than I paid for my series 3, which is what it's replacing.

Hoping I made the right decision and the rumored explorer edition doesn't blow this one out of the water on price/performance. I really only buy stainless for the sapphire screen.

Will be trying out the amazon locker delivery. Saved me $31 in taxes, and it's right next to Costco, which I need to hit up anyway.

Interesting about the locker delivery. I didn't think it had anything to do with taxes. That would be great.

Yes it will drain faster than it’s charging. However, if you put your phone in Low Battery mode and close most your apps it’ll start charging at a decent rate. It does that because Low Battery mode uses less power thus less heat so the MagSafe Battery back will charge better. It just doesn’t like when your phone starts to get warm so it’ll slow down charging to compensate.

Anker doesn’t give a crap tho, it’ll let your phone get hot but it’ll charge for sure. Plus it has a neat stand, comes very handy when watching videos on a flight.

Appreciate it. Is it the Anker MagGO? Price seems great and it doubles as a little kickstand type deal it looks like.
