iOS/iPadOS 15 and watchOS 8 public betas are now available. You may now install them to have a taste of what's to come.

Enrol your devices at https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

Warning: Betas are not stable and you are not advised to install them on primary devices. Always back up and archive your device before installing.

Apple is now selling the MagSafe Battery Pack.

• $99
• 1460 mAh
  • For reference, the iPhone 12 mini's battery capacity is 2227 mAH, iPhone 12/12 Pro 2815 mAh, iPhone 12 Pro Max 3687 mAh.
• Charges at 5W on the go, and at 15W if the MagSafe Battery Pack is connected to a 20W or higher power source.
  • The MagSafe Battery Pack will basically act like a MagSafe charger if connected to a power source.
• Charge the MagSafe Battery Pack and iPhone at the same time by connecting either device to a power source.
  • The iPhone's battery will be prioritised over the MagSafe Battery Pack's. The latter will only start charging once the iPhone battery charges to 80%.
  • Note: The iPhone will "reverse charge" the MagSafe Battery Pack if the iPhone is the one connected to a power source.

AirPods maybe. I wouldn't want to charge other devices though tbh  iPhones already have rather small batteries compared to Android phones

They still need to figure out how to charge Apple Watch using Qi standard. RIP Air Power

Is the iPhone XS Max refurbished in 2021 worth it? £359 on Amazon.

Coming from an XR? No.

• Worse battery life.
• Same A12 chip. Still no Night mode photography.
• Only upgrades are telephoto lens (just 2x), OLED display, bigger display, 4 GB RAM (up from 3 GB).

Amazon refurbished is also of a lower standard than Apple's

I see. I think I might as well wait for the 13 at this point, they usually come out in October/November so I’ll snatch one then because apparently it’ll be an actually worth it upgrade this year.
 

The only problem is pushing through till then with this busted XR   Thanks for coming through with the stats, it just seems like a gorgeous attractive phone tbh.

How bad is your XR? lol

Another 3 months till the 13 ships, I believe. So, budget is not an issue right? The 13 should be £799.

Lacking severely in storage, cracked back, scratches on the front screen, extremely slow, battery health is 85% 

Not too bad for a phone I’ve had since it released. I can definitely push through, save some money and buy the 13 in a couple months. 🤞🏼

You should just get iCloud storage

79p per month for 50 GB

Just took ur advice and now it’s taking 500 years to upload.  oh well it’ll be worth it ig 

you must take a lot of photos and videos 

64 GB is way more than what I need if I exclude music

Photos - 27.02GB

explains why 64 GB is not enough

It’s time for me to take over this thread. Apple is me, I am Apple. Basically born with an iPhone.

@Sir.Sim I don't know why you're yaas-reacting to a post that was deliberately meant to hurt me and I've made my feelings very clear about this post. You have reacted to the posts on the argument, which means you knew what went on and how I felt. As a mod, you should have also seen what this post was flagged under.

I know you're close to Donnie but that is very un-mod like of you. I was going to ask you to hide the post because you were online but this is what I see. Very, very disappointed and hurt, ngl.

@corvus albus can you please hide the post above? Thank you.
