Question - What charging bricks do people recommend for charging both the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Apple Airpods Pro at the same time. I cannot seem to find a 40w brick (20w per port) using Apples 'new way' of charging.

Second question - Are people buying Ankers 20w charger brick or the official Apple one? Has anyone seen a teardown of either yet to determine electronic quality?
 
I thought the same but it says on the back that it’s for 6.1” screen so it’s fine. Just fitted mine and it’s invisible, absolutely brilliant and so cheap too!! .. I always go caseless and screen cover-less but with all the talk of the ESR ones I decided to give it a go!

I will check but hope mine says somewhere 6.7”
 
Next I’m after a case - super lightweight, super thin, clear and no discolouration .....

Advice welcome.
I have Casetify on my Xs Max and it’s now yellow.

Just about to press the buy button for the ESR clear case and screen protector bundle when I read this - does this fit with others' experience of the case?

"I have had esr products for a while and they are good value for money.
I usually buy the flexible cases but most tend to go yellow quickly so I chose this version with the hard back.
The case is a very tight fit and feels sturdy and the buttons all line up well so all good there.
The negatives are that once you fit the screen protector it makes the screen stick out higher than the case edges so it offers no protection to the screen at all. Usually there is around 1mm of the case sitting higher than the screen.
The hard back is another part that has a flaw where it too lies flat on any surface with no raised edge and even though I am very careful with my phones the hard plastic is marked already and the marks all show up against the dark background of the pacific blue phone.
I am now looking for a decent case that has the soft back and higher raised edges as these cases do not seem to scratch like the hard backed cases.
Pity as esr cases are normally spot on."

I’ve got the ESR tempered glass screen protector on my 11 Pro Max as well as the ESR clear hard back case and I don’t experience any of that. There is no issue regards the screen protector and the case lip and the case is slightly raised at the back. I’ve had no issues what so ever.

Granted I do already have the ESR tempered glass screen protector and clear hard back case ready to go for my new phone but as I’m waiting for the 12 Pro Max I’ve not had a chance to try them yet. I’m not at home so I can’t have a look at my case to see if it’s exactly the same design. Judging by my experience with them on the 11 Pro Max I am quite confident they will be fine on my 12 Pro Max.

Does anyone else have this issue, when taking photos with the iPhone 12 in certain light conditions (mostly lower light) green spots appear in the image that seem to move as the phone moves? What is that and is that a fault ?
Thanks

If you want to go for wireless charging, I use these:


Cheap enough and manages my 12 Pro, AirPods Pro and Apple Watch overnight with no issues.

Do you mean like the one towards the right on this image?
I think it’s just a lens flare type thing. I have only spotted it in this and it was taken directly into the sun.

Thank you for the links but I need cable charging for now, waiting for the Belkin stand.

Love these cases. Slight lip to protect screen and perfect fit and very thin.
