Comments on my Purchase Last week about the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack - now it is in my hand

 

Fits all iPhone 12’s.

Nothing else in the box besides the battery pack, no lightning cable or USB charger.

Can have the pack directly on the phone or on the back of a MagSafe case.

Does add a bit of weight to the phone.

Better Magnetic connection with the pack on a MagSafe case, doesn’t slide off so easy particularly when the iPhone/Pack is in your pocket.

Fast charge with a 20W charger.

Gives my iPhone 12Pro about 6.5hrs before phone starts using its own battery.

Is a wireless charger in its own wright.

The battery pack is white.

 

Here is my demo about the battery pack:

A Quick Note about iOS 14.7

 

Besides supporting the new Apple MagSafe Battery Pack on the iPhone, the other noticeable change is with the HomePod where you are now able to control Timers like Alarms from the Home app on iOS.

There is also a bug which Apple fix which relates to the Apple Watch where you can’t currently use Touch ID on your iPone to unlock your watch.

 

Wasn’t Really Advertised as Being Available at All - AD version of the Windows 11 Keynote

 

Better late than never I guess, talk about stumbling on this via a person telling me about it on Twitter. Although the horse has well and truly nicked off by now from the barn smile.

Twitter is Testing a Way of Disliking Reply’s

 

This is particularly with the iOS Twitter app where you can now vote down (dislike) or vote up (like) tweets.

I wish they would actually use vote up or down as dislike is a bit negative.

I’m also mentioning it as with VoiceOver with the Actions menu on your Twitter feed, usually when you flicked up on the actions menu, you would hit Like, but now its Dislike and you have to flick up again for Like, so just be a bit more careful.
