    Is getting the latest iPhone from the US a good idea?

    As you have iPad and MacBook, iPhone is easy choice. Getting from Dubai is even better as it is cheaper there. iPhones in USA does not come with SIM card and both are eSIMs. Hope you are aware of this. I would go with S24U only and only if I have no interest in using handoff, continuity and...

    News Apple Event - iPhone 16

    You are doing this from WiFi only right? Call Apple support. They are pretty quick to help. I have no delay and I rarely check if photos are synced or not. This could be happening as there are too many items to sync and they are trying to limit bandwidth.

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    All signs point to the probability that he was escaping from Gaza. Is the only case where he cannot surround with lot of people.

    News Apple Event - iPhone 16

    I used a 3-in-1 from ugreen. Generated too much heat and looks like this is common problem for all non-MagSafe certified chargers. Ditched it for Apples MagSafe charging puck. Absolutely happy with this one.

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    @mods please move this off topic discussion on electricity and Indiann GDP elsewhere and close this thread as it is now completely out of context and there is nothing much to discuss other than trying to prove who has better GK.

    Samsung S23 or A55 ?

    Bhai, 40 degrees is okay. 50-60 degrees is high temp. I am using wireless charging which generates even more heat. After a year, my phone battery max capacity is at 92% with 263 cycle count.

    Samsung S23 or A55 ?

    You won’t find any difference as charging goes to trickle charging once you hit 80% or so. Using 25W charger and limiting to 80% or 90% is better than using a slow charger and doing full charge from low charge every time. But if you insist on doing full charge, just use normal fast charger...

    Samsung S23 or A55 ?

    You don’t have to charge this slow. 25W is absolutely safe for today’s batteries. Just make a habit of charging from 40% or so to 80%.

    Anker quality

    no, I do not use magsafe powerbanks. At home, I use apple magsafe puck and when on the go, I use the good old Realme 10000mAh portable charger. This one has Li-Ion battery and is thin n light. Reason is simple. When on the go, I want something that can charge fast and generates less heat...

    Anker quality

    Most of their products are not Magsafe certified. They say Magsafe-compatible and are Qi/Qi2 based. The problem with most 3rd party Magsafe compatible chargers is 'heat'. They get insanely hot and heats up the phone as well. I shifted to Apple's Magsafe charger puck for desk charging and I...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    This was long due. We have three bicycles, 2 2W and a car. Biggest problem is the 450X and the bicycles as I cannot just go and get air for free at petrol bunk every time tyre pressure is less. Recently, 450X's MRF tyre was damaged as we did not see that the pressure was low. After coming home...

    Samsung S23 or A55 ?

    Looks like I arrived late to this threads. Glad that you are getting the S23. S23 is definitely the better choice, lot better than the A55. Not to forget that A54 is available for 10k less (23k for 128GB and 35k for 256GB) and is not that much different compared to A55. Samsung A series is...

    Confused between iPhone 15 vs S23

    I would not waste money on iPhone 15/plus. Get iPhone 16 if you liked iOS. Else get the S23.

    Android Smart watch

    Like I said, for a normal user, buying a watch for 80k or so just to know if it will rain or not is absolute overkill. If you travel using a 2W, just dump a rain coat under the seat and wear it whenever it rains. Health tracking features are very good in watches that cost lot less like previous...

    By this logic, I should not carry backpack. If I lose my backpack, I will lose laptop, pens, headset, mouse, chargers, book, lunchbox. :D

    Android Smart watch

    Garmin is more committed to professional equipment and may drop from personal training equipment like smartwatches. Also, do you really need a barometer? It is more useful for those who go for lot of treks in places where weather is unpredictable. Fenix 7 costs north of 50k. For casual treks and...

    Flipkart deals

    I checked the same on Amazon. Three pack is available for 7k and delivery date shows tomorrow. Given how pathetic Clipfart is, would rather get on Amazon. Also, 3 pack Deco S7 AC1900 is available for 9999/- and would be a better setup overall if you have lot of devices.
