I’m constantly tempted by the Apple MagSafe Duo Charger but at £102 I’ve not been daring enough to order it! Would be ideal for home and travel.

Bought one for travel and for work, although I've only used it for work at the moment. It sits on my desk, works well. Nice that it folds up. It's easy to carry.

What's all this issue with registering touch on iPhone 13s display? Is it a software issue or a hardware (faulty touch panel) issue?

elago MS2 Charging Stand Compatible with MagSafe Charger https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RYQ4...abc_Y89YY6PEPB56WJRAYPNS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
That product looks far too engineered?!?!!!

It’s literally just a ball of nothing until you buy a MagSafe charger to place inside it at which point it becomes EXACTLY like any other MagSafe charger - it offers nothing other than aesthetic looks (unless I’m missing something?!)…

Anyone here use the official Apple MagSafe charger and if so is it worth buying? My old wireless Anker stand doesn’t work with my Pro Max so considering something else at £30 or less.
I bought it when it first came out and returned it right away. It works well but the problem I have with it is that the cable is fixed to it and is only 1 meter long. I need something longer then that. You can use adapter and another USB cable to extend it but that’s not really elegant or ideal.

I was at BlueWater Shopping Centre today (stupidly busy 🙄) and visited the Apple Store there - had a look at the silicone cases for the 13 Pro and had a good feel about. Although the colours were nice, they just felt far too ‘linty’ for my liking so came away empty handed!

In combination with the MagSafe charger it makes a useful stand. Personally I like the aesthetics but others will not as taste varies. The device functions well in that it makes the screen more visible than being laid flat and it also makes it is easier to separate the phone from the charger. For me it’s serves a purpose.

I also have the Belkin 3 in 1 charging stand.

….add the fact that it also charges far slower than if you were to use a lightning cable - not sure why anyone would choose to charge their phone this way vs a lightning cable!

I agree. I’m actually happy with my Belkin 3 in 1 charger.

Well I use the Belkin 3 in 1 wireless charger which is a 15W charger and is relatively quick although not as quick as using a lightning cable. I like the design as it elevates the phone so it’s easy to see the screen and you can easily use the phone including Face ID. It serves me well and is practical enough for me. I don’t miss regularly charging my phone with a lightning cable and the Belkin also charges my watch.
 
Totally agree with that. The battery on this thing is huge and I’m noticing already. I Cba with battery packs etc so anything that keeps me away from those is a good thing!

Was away at a do last night and stayed over. Took it off charge at 15:10 yesterday and put it back on charge tonight with 28% left. Often use mine navigating OS maps out walking all day and the max battery always helps…
 
Heavy use of my PM today (8 hours screen on time) took it off charge at 6:30 this morning and still got 40% left.

I’m super jealous with that level of battery life. iPhone 13 Pro today, 30 mins of maps navigation drained it by 15%

That drop
