![]() Especially as the 29 W one takes various plug adapters so it's very usable for international travel with Apple's World Travel Adapter Kit. And of course it will charge the computer completely overnight.Ģ9 W is a bit more than my iPhone and other devices need, but this adapter isn't so big that I'm going to bother with something like Apple's 20 W adapter. This provides the MBP enough power to make sure it doesn't drain its battery during normal use and even top it off slowly. (Although that MBP does light up 23 W worth of AMD GPU as soon as you plug in an external display.) So I got the 29 W USB-C charger Apple sold at the time. That 87 W power brick is pretty large and heavy, and guess what, running Microsoft Office doesn't take 87 W. After I got that MBP, I would often take it to the office. My old iPhone 8 even tends to get warm on the Qi pad, and certainly with an extended fast charge session.īut I think the most interesting use case is being on the go. Interestingly, the phone doesn't get warm when fast charging. ![]() However, the new iPhone often has so much charge left at night that I just don't bother charging it overnight but instead charge it to 80% using fast charging at some point the next day. I hate the waste involved, but it's so much more convenient than plugging in the phone. And on my night stand a 5 W Qi pad hooked up to a 10 W iPad mini charger so I can charge my iPhone overnight. (And my HP 4K monitor can supply 65 W to my MBP over USB-C.) Behind the couch I have a 36 W two port USB-C charger with a lightning cable and a USB-C cable plus a small cache of plug adapters for charging anything that finds itself in the couch area and needing power. So in my home office I have the MBP's 87 W USB-C charger hooked up, usually delivering just 3 of those W's to the Pi. In addition, I recently got a Raspberry Pi 400 that takes USB-C power and a couple of years ago a Nikon Z fc camera that has a removable battery, but you can charge it in-camera using USB-C PD. My situation: I have a 2016 MacBook Pro (the first one with just USB-C) and I just replaced my iPhone 8 with an iPhone SE (2020). Upgraded everything to USB-C PD fast charging? So how have all these changes impacted the way you charge your stuff? There's also wireless Qi / magsafe charging, although that's usually much less efficient and much slower. as of the iPhone 8 (2017) iPhones can take advantage of USB-C power delivery (PD) and charge at more than 15 W from a USB-C charger using that USB-C to lightning cable. I'm assuming for most post-2019 iPhone buyers, that wasn't their first iPhone rodeo, so most of you will have at least one region-appropriate version of that 5 W charger. With the iPhone 11 (2019) and later, no charger is included, and the cable is a USB-C to lightning one. (Got to love those foldable prongs on the UK version.) That will be an install base in the hundreds of millions within a year.Starting with the iPhone 5 (2012) Apple always included a USB type A to lighting cable and one of these 5 W chargers with any iPhone. ![]() When A17 is in the majority of iPhone models, the entire Apple product line will be capable of running AAA games. It's great to have a baseline at this level of performance. This would help Apple Vision Pro maintain 90FPS and iPhones would perform closer to M3. The latest FSR 3 has frame generation that can double FPS by generating a frame between rendered frames: There's a reference in Apple's documents saying they use AMD's FSR for MetalFX: There may be an improvement in future with MetalFX. The iPhone chips are around half the performance of the entry Mac chips (M3 = 2x A17) plus more thermally constrained. It makes sense to limit it to iPhone 15 Pro and above, it's only just able to play it:ħ20p/30 with some slowdown. For iPhones, it's iOS 17.0 or later, and a device with the A17 Pro chip or later - just the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. "Resident Evil 4" requires macOS 13.0 or later and a Mac with an M1 chip or later. ![]()
