If you use higher wattage chargers, your battery life will reduce. I use the old 5w charger and my battery health is 96%. I use my phone quite a bit. Got the same phone about a month after its release from US. The 18w charger is still in the box. Also, please wait for 14.5 update. Some beta testers have all reported a jump in their battery health after 14.5. The calibration software in the current iOS versions appears to be faulty. Some beta testers have reported a drop too. If your battery has a problem, post 14.5's re-calibration, you might get a free battery replacement. https://bgr.com/tech/ios-14-5-new-fe...ne-11-5919926/ | |

| ![]() I have a iPhone 6s which was my alternate phone. Due to some travel plans I gave that phone to my father-in-law who used some gmail ID to set it up and activated find my phone option. Covid strikes and we lost him. He was a darling person to all of us. So I have the phone now without passcodes or iCloud details. Tried restoring it through iTunes with his known email IDs but at activation mode it is not recognising the email ID which we have. Apple customer care is also not able to help. Can anyone guide me out on this issue |

I really doubt what can be done here; Apple has been unconditionally steadfast when it comes to helping unlock phones. (They have refused to help the FBI/CIA to unlock a terrorist's phone in the past). This is snooping around but check his browser history for the Gmail account he used; maybe try contacting Google for legacy access (I think they allow this if a person has passed and the cops give some authorization), and then maybe reset password? |

| ![]() Anyone here using the iPhone SE 2020 with dual sim? Is there any significant change in battery backup when used with dual sim? I am presently using mine with only the physical sim. Thinking of getting the e-sim activated so that I don’t need to carry a second device for my alternate number. Just wondering if the already not so good battery back up will get even worse with two connections. |

| ![]() Got an iPhone 12 mini (blue, 128 GB) on the weekend, and absolutely love the size; feels significantly smaller in hand compared to the 11 pro. Happy that Apple did not go stingy with the feature-set for the small screen model. |

They ship through FedEx and I paid around ₹1500 for import duties, so be ready to pay that additional fee. The brown leather wrapping the dark blue iPhone 12 Pro's cameras was definitely worth it for me ![]() | |

| ![]() Quick question: I just realized that I never shutdown my iPhone - like ever. I shutdown my work laptop once a week. But my phones - never. Are these things designed to be on throughout their lifetime? Should we follow a process of shutting down the phone for perhaps one night in a week or fortnight or not needed at all? The only time the phone reboots is when I update it. |

From my experience below are few things that consume battery. > Background apps. > Push enabled in mail apps. > Notifications - Whatsapp main culprit - mute is must. > GPS - use Allow once or Allow while using > Bluetooth - tun off when not required. Additionally there are lot other things which help reduce battery usage. | |

Many thanks for this information. So the import duties make it quite expensive unless you are buying one of the discounted ones. How many days did it take to reach you? | |

So you arrive at a total of $61, which is pretty expensive, but you pay for the quality leather and all-in-all, a genuine tough American product. Personally, if it costed more than that I'd be a little skeptical of paying so much. Plenty of awesome cases to go around, and unless you're a leather fanatic, it doesn't make much sense to drop so much money on it (relative of course, one man's cotton is another man's leather). If you're looking for something quick and cheap, Spigen makes decent cases that's available on Amazon (I use the Liquid Air Armor sometimes, when I'm feeling it). Protection is pretty much the same - you'd be hard pressed to find a difference when it comes to real-life protection. Most good quality cases protect scratching against small falls or such. I'm a relatively clumsy person and I've dropped my phone with both cases on, both protected the phone from any scratches/dents. Don't let those Youtuber drop tests fool you, a good quality screen-guard and case will be enough for a vast majority of people. | |

I still can't wrap my head around not shutting down Macs for so long. In my family, I have had 3 MacBooks gone bust due to this. And they were relatively new. The mother board gave up and Apple gave us a bill of 50k (each) to fix them. After these incidents, I diligently shut down my MB Air at EOD. Alright, this gives me a lot of confidence to order from them. They have some good quality cool stuff which are not available in India. Last edited by Pancham : 20th April 2021 at 09:17. | |
