    Has anyone had problems with their Pro Max charging wirelessly? Min stopped working with my (different) 3 wireless chargers I have in different rooms in my apartment, but they still work for my work iPhone 8. I see a fair bit of people on the Apple Forums complaining about the same issue.

    Yep Myself and the other half have wireless chargers on either side of the bed. Both Anker chargers, mine is a slightly older model but both 10w Qi chargers.

    I can charge my phone on her charger but not on mine!! Mine starts to charge then stops and the Anker wireless charger stars to flash blue! Fairly annoying.

    Any recommendations on a decent wireless charger

    Not sure if I’m allowed, so apologies if I’m not.

    I have a Cyprus Green IPhone 12 Pro Max MagSafe case For sale. Just font like the colour myself. Happy with plain old black. Used for 30mins I’d say, I’ll let it go for €45 if anyone is interested.

    Living in Kildare near Liffey Valley so could me around there

    The cynic in me thinks it's Apple doing one of their sly tricks...

    The idealist in me believes a software update will solve it.

    The realist will hold off buying anything until 14.3(.1) is realised and see what happens.

    I may just do what Apple wants me to do an buy the MagSafe charger..

    Managed to get one on Vodafone today if anyone is waiting. I rang and they had black or blue, was hoping for Silver but went with the blue in the end. Cant wait to get my hands on it. Have the case and screen protector bought and delivered a fortnight ago in anticipation :)

    As compared to the iPhone 11 pro max, its screen of 6.7" looks interesting but I think it is not coming with power adapter. Am I right?

    No power adaptor, it's under €20 for the official 20w one on Amazon though.

    Yes. Just USC-C to lightening cable in the box.

    Also, remember that any lightning charger/cable you have already for a previous iPhone will work with the 12s (though not necessarily give you fast charging).

    Vodafone had the Silver and black in during the week but I'm holding out for the Blue. My XS is only 8 months old so I'm in no rush. I can wait

    They had blue when I ordered earlier in the week. I was looking for a silver one but they didn’t have one in stock so opted for the blue, however they managed to find a silver one in the meantime so got that instead. So far it’s a great upgrade from the XS Max, battery life is fantastic and with my usual usage I’d always need a short top up during the day, my pro max still has 53%.

    Your pro max is still brand news though :)

    Yes it is to be fair 😀 but I did have my XS Max replaced with a brand new unit about 2 months ago and the battery wasn’t a million mile from the nearly 2 yr old XS Max it replaced. The comparison therefore isnt totally skewed 😀

    Got to say I’m quite impressed so far. Phones new so I know the battery is going to be better but still at 40% after coming off charge at 7am.

    Not finding the size an issue compared to the Pixel 4xl but there’s a really noticeable weight difference. The flat sides really make it feel like a solid block of metal.

    Camera is great for a point and shoot - the pixel photos look better and to my eyes capture a little more detail but the iPhones are more realistic.

    I got the saddle brown leather case, great that the bottom of the phone is now covered but has anyone else noticed that the leather is a bit different to older ones? Seems like a cheaper substitute or something. It’s grippy but I’ll be interested in how it wears over a few months.

    I am planning on getting Dual sim version of iPhone 12 pro max A2412. It is hard to get one in Europe for a reasonable price. I wonder is Etoren.com is trustworthy to get such an expensive device. There are other Chinese online stores like eglobalcentraleu or wondamobile they sell 12 MAX pro cheaper, but I had no experience with these ether. I found a thread about eglobalcentral here, but no info about Etoren. Looks like it is a company from Singapore.

    I bought the dual Nano sim version of the 12 pro max from expansys Hong Kong. Very reliable vendor and fast delivery , but is still very expensive especially when you are also hit for a few hundred of import duties on top.

    I think your doing better than me, I ordered on the 3rd. It went straight to processing and I thought I was on a roll but it’s hit a wall since then.
