iPhone X - Something You Should Know Before Buying

2017-09-16
shall we make a movie today so as you're well aware there is a brand new iPhone actually a few of them they're gonna be hitting the streets real soon and you've got a bunch of questions about them I did too so I did a bit of research in order to figure out some things that you should probably know before you get yourself either an iPhone 8 an 8 plus or of course the iPhone 10 the fanciest of the bunch now one of the things that I discovered about those 3 devices is the fact that they will support quick charging hooray this of course is a feature that many of you are familiar with that are on other devices and what it means is you can plug in for a very short period of time and get a large charge large and in charge now Apple went ahead and quoted a 30 minute charge time on the iPhone 10 would yield 50% of overall battery life yes that is the magic of quick charge plug-in and then go but here's the thing it's not so simple if you've had various Android devices you may have gotten used to the idea of receiving the quick charger in the box along with the phone so you could take advantage of that feature straight away that's not gonna be the case with the iPhone 10 eight and eight plus they will ship with the traditional tiny little five watt Apple power brick this guy here so you'll still be charging and ultra slow speeds if you just use what's in the box there is an advantage to this and that happens to be the scale of it it's absolutely tiny now you'll notice that on the table I have a few different products in front of me this here is a MacBook Pro power brick USB type-c connector on it if you connect the new iPhones 8 8 plus or 10 to this power brick you're gonna quick charge you have plenty of juice here to enable quick charging but the brick itself is not enough because you probably know that the iPhone features a lightning port not a USB type-c port like this power brick has all Apple high powered power bricks are now type-c so you're also gonna need this cable right here if he USBC to lightning cable this will take this port this output here and turn it into something that your smartphone that your iPhone can handle in the form of a lightning connector now these two boxes they look relatively simple you might be thinking hey that's not gonna cost me too much well it will of course it's gonna cost you a minimum of $70 to get the correct cable and the correct power brick from Apple just to take advantage of quick charging now you don't need to get the MacBook Pro power brick if you don't already have a MacBook or a MacBook Pro you could get the 29 watt power brick from Apple but that's still 49 bucks thankfully there are some other options on the market like this one right here this just arrived this is a brand new product from a company called energy and this is a USBC laptop adapter with 60 watts of power plenty of power to take advantage of quick charge on the next iPhone now what I like about this one is it's crazy compact so if you look on the back here that's the entire power brick compare that to the 87 watt macbook pro power brick I don't have the 12-inch MacBook power brick here it's a little smaller than this but it's nowhere near as tiny is this and that one supply 60 watts as well this would be perfect for quick charge as well for the iPhone because of how compact it is the knife where's the knife this is not the only high-powered type-c power brick on the market I would likely recommend getting the Apple version though of the cable for compatibility reasons I think when it comes to the brick that's where you can go with a third party to try to save a few bucks look at that that's pretty small for 60 watts they say it can charge up a MacBook in 1.8 hours but of course it'll work with other products 5 volt iPhone 9 volt Android phone 12 volt USB see power bank a gain system this looks like the Nintendo switch a USB type-c laptop or iPad pro another thing I like about this the prongs they fold in what do you think Jack is that genius or what and then they go and then they go down they go out they go in now I'm guessing they probably include a Type C cable it actually looks like - what is this adapt for various types of laptops alright so here's the thing obviously you're stepping up to a bigger charger even in this case then what's going to be included in your box the five volt charger if you compare the two it's about twice as big but here's the thing I think you're really gonna enjoy having quick charge you know I'm a huge fan of wireless charging but we all know wireless charging is not the fastest so having a quick charge option is the perfect companion for wireless charging I personally think it's worth it to upgrade to a quick charge power brick remember out of the box you are not going to be taking advantage of that feature so Chuck this thing to the side get yourself one of these or use one of these if you already have a MacBook so you're charging your iPhone 8 8 + or 10 at the maximum capacity there's one more thing Apple if you're listening to me let's make this whole situation is that much easier it's time to give up the Lightning port alright let's just go to USB type-c it's one power brick to rule them all Tim Cook I'm talking to you alright I know we've had our differences but now is the time to listen to one another in peace and tranquility
