Has anyone had an issue where it just stopped charging? I had to unplug it and replug it into the same socket
 
Belkin just sent an email telling me pre-orders are available LoL!

Yep, I got the same email, LOL. It's never actually been for sale on the Belkin site yet...only at Apple. Apple is pretty backed up on this item. So you can pre-order from Belkin and order another from Apple, and see which gets there first! LOL
 
Meanwhile we have no sign of being available anywhere...
Apple Exclusive in the beginning, then through Belkin then maybe Best Buy. Best Buy had it listed for awhile, but never got stock. Not sure if they still have these on their site.
 
Yes finally! Ordered the white!

Does anyone have the apple leather case and has been using MagSafe charging? Does it actually leave a ring or mark like the photos on the apple website?
Don't take my word for it, one of the YouTube videos I watched said the magnet puck has a different material on the belkin 3-1, he reckons it wont leave any marks on the cases. 🤷‍♂️

Please let me know how long it takes to charge your phone, apparently the apple MagSafe charger takes 4 hours lol, if that's the case I probably wont be getting it. 🥺

Received the charger and it’s solidly built and hefty in the hand. Satisfying attachment when putting on the phone and Apple Watch.

But OMG the material used on the bottom of the base is terrible! I peeled the protective sticker off and it instantly attracted dust and dog hair that couldn’t be removed. It’s even sticky to the touch. Is it meant to be like this?

Congrats looks solid 👌

Can’t tell you about the base being sticky, haven’t bought one yet, waiting to hear how fast it charges first, if it takes 4 hours like the MagSafe puck most likely won’t buy it then.

The white looks awesome 👌 keeps us updated on charging speeds and if it leaves any marks on the back of your case.

Good thing you bought it from apple, if you run into any problems you can always return it.

Anyone else from Canada waiting for this to be released? Any ideas on when it might happen?

Charged iPhone overnight and this is the graph

Seems like it took an hour to go from 25% to 80%. It then stopped because I had optimised charging on. It then took another hour to go from 80% to 100%.

Nice, seems like it charges pretty quickly.

Might have to purchase one. 😊

Any marks on the back of your leather case?

No marks yet but it’s only been a day lol

I tried to speed up the patina on the apple leather case and used some alcohol wipes so it might mark more easily haha
If it was going to leave a ring mark you would probably see it by now? My use would be on my office desk, would you leave the phone on the stand all the time?

Nothing for you mate, you’re loaded. 😂

I wish, the money i saved by getting the 12 instead of the pro max i used for the AirPods max :oops:
