Phone

Apple boasts how easy its iPhones are to use. Their products do not just improve your ability to communicate, but your productivity as well. So, knowing certain tips and tricks will make a difference in how iPhones will serve your needs.

However, Apple devices come with a considerable price, making them unappealing to most people despite their excellent functionality. Luckily, there is an affordable way of getting one of these gadgets – and that is to buy refurbished iPhones.

Discover all the great things your iPhone can do – from custom notifications and battery management to advanced security, here are eight tricks for iPhone users:

1. Customize vibration patterns to your contacts

Assigning a ringtone to your contacts will help you identify the person calling without looking at your phone screen. But with your iPhone, you can also customize vibration patterns, so you’ll know who’s calling if you turn your device to silent mode.

Choose from the different built-in vibration patterns or even create your rhythm. Best of all, you can also assign a vibration pattern for text messages.

2. Respond through text if you can’t answer a call

There are instances when you just can’t answer a phone call. Instead of leading the caller to your voicemail, it would be better to respond to the caller with a text explaining why you are not picking up. The iOS allows you to do just this.

Depending on the iOS version you have, you can tap the message button above the slider or swipe the phone icon upward and choose “Respond with Text”. By default, there are three pre-written options – “Can I call you later?” “I’m on my way” and “Sorry, I can’t talk right now.”

You can also customize the prepared messages. But you can’t prepare more than three messages, so you need to sacrifice one of the current options if you want to add a new one. Tap the one you want to erase and enter your new response.

3. Improve battery life

Running out of power is the last thing you expect from your iPhone on a hectic day or at a corporate beach party. That is a disaster!

But if you have an iPhone, you can take advantage of its grayscale feature. By turning it on, you will see a significant increase in your device’s battery life. Expect to see the colors fade away after turning it on.

You can also save battery by switching to low-power mode whenever you want to prolong device battery life. Some features will be turned off to reduce power consumption. For instance, using this feature will turn off the background app, reduce the time before the screen darkens, minimize animations, and fetch mail less frequently.

You should also check your battery usage to determine which apps are consuming most of your battery. Apple also provides insights and suggestions to help with battery conservation, including enabling auto-lock and decreasing screen brightness.

4. Activate “Interactive Notifications” to make a call

If you tend to forget making important calls, use your iPhone’s reminder app.

When it’s time for you to call the person, your iPhone will remind you to do so. By swiping the interactive notification feature, you will see two options: call or snooze. You can then immediately make the call, thereby saving you time.

5. Enhance password security

Depending on the model of your iPhone, you can unlock it using your fingerprint or face.

But nothing beats setting up a strong passcode. Instead of using a four-digit passcode, consider creating a six-digit alphanumeric code. Using both numbers and letters gives you an unlimited number of potential passwords compared to using numbers alone, which could be hacked using the right equipment.

But with the introduction of iOS 12, you can secure your iPhone from anyone who wants to plug a device to hack it. This will be activated an hour after locking your iPhone, unless you change the setting.

6. Use the “Do Not Disturb” mode

The Do Not Disturb mode is perfect for isolating yourself from distractions if you are going to sleep or doing something important. It can be activated from the control center by tapping on the crescent moon icon on your iPhone’s screen.

By activating this feature, alerts and incoming calls will be silenced. But if you want someone to contact you even if you switch to this mode, you can do so.

You can also set quiet hours during the day or at night. For instance, you can choose to activate the Do Not Disturb mode for an hour, until you leave your location, or until the evening.

More importantly, you can activate this mode when you are driving to reduce distractions. You can do it manually, when connected to your car Bluetooth, or automatically. It blocks phone calls and incoming notifications, but you can set an auto-reply for some of your contacts.

7. Take a selfie with your headphones

People are addicted to taking selfies. If you’re upset about the quality of your selfies, this is a handy trick.

Though you can press one of your iPhone’s volume buttons to minimize camera shake, there is a better way of capturing picture-perfect selfies. And that is to use the volume button of your attached headphones, making it one of the best mobile accessories to invest in.

Taking a photo using the headphone volume button will not just minimize shake but will also guarantee a natural-looking picture from afar or capture a phone hands-free.

8. Limit access for your kids and prevent cell phone addiction

Kids today are drawn to phones and other gadgets.However, you have to make sure that they can’t access unsuitable content on your device once they get hold of it. Luckily, the iPhone offers a way to limit them from accessing certain apps. It also allows you to set a specific age range for suitable content and block in-app purchases.

With the introduction of iOS 12, you can control your kids’ online activities by using the Screen Time feature. This allows you to set allowances for the use of specific apps, reminders when time is up, and, eventually, to block them from having access to your device. It is up to you to give them extra time.

But the Screen Time feature is not just a way to limit your little ones from using your device because this is also helpful in preventing iPhone addiction.

It allows you to check which apps you spend most of your time on and how often you use your phone. From there, you can set app limits. For instance, you can limit your social media apps so you can only use them for two hours a day. And if you need more time, you can set a Screen Time password.

Get the most out of your iPhone by applying these useful tips to save time, become more productive, and get things done smoothly.

Apple came up with its signature AirPods Pro back in 2019, which is very different from the traditional Airpods that Apple used to offer earlier. It includes a brand new and better noise cancellation technology, a more outstanding design update, and customizable silicone earbuds. The Black Friday Sales 2020 has made it relatively easy for many Apple fans to get this highly anticipated product at a very reasonable rate. The new Airpod Pro offers an exquisite set of features that many of its buyers may or may not be aware of. Here we will go through some of these features to make full use of the product and not miss out on its unique characteristics.

Some tips and tricks for the Airpods Pro

1. Pairing the Device with the iPhone/iPad: It is relatively easier to pair the New Airpods Pro with the iPhone/iPad. If you are going to do something, just need to click on the Connect Button on the prompt to show up on the Device. The prompt comes up once you unbox the earbuds and turn them on. Tap on the Connect button, and then both the devices are connected.
2. Operating the Airpods: In the new Airpods Pro, the stem of the AirPod is just like the button. It means that unlike the traditional Airpods, you can turn these on by pressing on the stems. To do so, you must insist on the flat part on the branch of each Airpod. Then you will hear a small tick. It will mean that the Airpods Pro is operating normally.
3. Battery Life: You can now check the earbuds’ battery life by placing the charging case next to the IPhone./IPad. An animation pops up on the Device screen, indicating the charging level of each of the Airpods plus the amount of charge in the case.
4. Check Wireless Charge Status: The new Airpods Pro comes along with a wireless charging case. You can charge the Device quickly by placing it on any charging mat. Also, it has a new feature where it is possible to check the charging status at any moment, and you do not have to wait until the charging is complete.
5. Active Noise Cancellation: An unique feature of the new Airpods Pro is its noise cancellation. Once the feature is turned on, it blocks all sorts of noises in the background. It means that if you are traveling on a local train and want to enjoy your favorite songs without any distraction from the environment, turn this feature on, and you can immerse yourself in the music. Apart from canceling the noise, the long-press on one of the Airpods stems can also direct you to the Control Centre on the iPhone/IPad. It can be done by swiping the Device’s top right-hand corner and then long-pressing the volume slider. There are three options available under the Control Centre: Noise Cancellation, Off, and Transparency Mode.
6. Transparency Mode: With this option, you will be able to hear some of the noise around you, but it will not affect the way you heard while you had the Noise Cancellation Mode on. You can make use of this option while you are at the airport lounge, for instance, where you want to enjoy the music while keeping your ears open to know your boarding gate number. It is possible to switch the Transparency Mode on/off using the Control Centre option or by long-pressing the Airpod Buttons.
7. Losing Your Airpods: You may never want to lose your precious AirPods. Thankfully Apple has a feature known as “Find My Airpods.” It is available for the new Airpods Pro as well. It is similar to the “Find My iPhone” feature. For the part to work, it is necessary to connect both the devices via Bluetooth. It also means that if the earbuds are lost very far away, the chances of retrieving them again decreases to a great extent.
8. Announce Message with Siri: It is an option that is also accessible with the Airpods Pro, just like in the Airpods. However, the features in the new earbuds are much more advanced compared to the older Airpods. Once you enable the feature, Siri starts reading any incoming text messages and offers an option to reply to them by using your voice.
9. Sharing Audio between Airpods: With the New AirPod Pro, it is now possible to share the audio between two AirPods. It is the new Apple Audio Sharing Feature. It means that if your friend or any close ones have a set of Airpods Pro too, both of you can listen to the same songs simultaneously.

Final Word

These are some of the features that you can use to take the experience of using the Airpods Pro to the next level. These tips will help you learn about the new wireless earbuds without much of a problem. If you are going to make a plan to purchase the latest iPhone, make sure to check out if your new iPhone has all the features mentioned above, and has the latest operating system installed into it.

Phones were never supposed to become gaming devices. When “Snake” was programmed into the first few next-gen phone handsets shortly after the turn of the century, we sincerely doubt that the people who put it there realized that they were starting a revolution. They just wanted to provide people with a way of passing the time when they were on public transport or sat in a waiting room somewhere. Now, almost twenty years down the line, mobile gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry that seems to get bigger with every passing day.

It’s hard for anyone to put their finger on what it is that’s drawn people into doing things with their phones that they used to do with their PlayStations. Perhaps we should credit the casino industry for its influence. Shortly after the creation of online slots websites around fifteen years ago, the people who run the casino industry started to notice that more and more people were using their phones to access the internet as opposed to their desktops or laptops. They immediately started turning their already-popular online slots into mobile slots to cater to this new market and struck gold. While online slots websites like Dove Casino are still extremely popular, most of the online slots listed on those sites are played on mobile phones. That proved that people are willing to spend money on gaming through their phones, and the mainstream gaming industry started to take the concept more seriously.

For all the money that’s being made, few people have yet cottoned on to what’s going on within mobile gaming. If you asked the average person what they thought the most popular or most lucrative mobile video game was, they’d probably tell you that it was “Fortnite” or “Call of Duty.” That isn’t the case. Neither of those games even feature in the all-time top ten. The biggest-money mobile game of all time is actually a title called “Monster Strike,” which was released in mid-2013 and has so far grossed more than eight billion dollars during its lifetime. “Pokemon Go,” which seemed to be everywhere at the peak of its popularity, is down in seventh place and has grossed a mere $3.7bn. The name “Monster Strike” hasn’t even imprinted itself on the public’s mass consciousness. It’s like an underground gaming culture where big money is spent without anybody noticing.

All that might be about to change as we usher in the era of 5G mobile phones and 5G connectivity in general. It’s thought that 5G will eliminate buffering issues and make video game streaming platforms like Google’s Stadia and Amazon’s Luna more popular. It’s also thought that it will enable mobile phones to play even more powerful games than they have in the past, and we know of at least one manufacturer who’s banking on that happening. It’s probably fair to say that the whole concept of ‘gaming phones’ hasn’t gone well for the people who’ve made them in the past. Razr had some success, but not enough for their brand of handsets to become a mainstream entity. Other phones which were marketed as being tailored for gaming have failed to find their feet in the marketplace, too. Asus is now hoping that they’ll be able to succeed where others have failed. They’ve just launched their brand-new 5G-enabled ROG Phone 3 in the United States of America, and they have very lofty ambitions for their new piece of hardware.

As the ‘3’ in the title implies, this isn’t the first attempt Asus has made to popularize a gaming phone. The ROG phone 2 was released in 2019 and is still available now. Like this new model, it came with a 6000mAh battery (said to be optimized for playing games). This time around, owners will also get a 6.59 inch OLED screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, 512GB of storage, and a refresh rate of 144Hz. This is a phone that comes with more storage than your laptop probably does and a far better display. The basic $1000 model comes with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and if you’re willing to spend another hundred dollars, you can make that 16GB instead. Potentially more important than all that, though, is the fact that it’s 5G ready and will be able to take advantage of the new high-speed connectivity as soon as it’s switched on.

Having listened to feedback from customers who brought the previous version of the phone, Asus have adjusted the ‘air trigger’ motion sensors on the side of the phone to be more responsive, and also included an option for users to map the controls to any function they like. The new triggers are capable of distinguishing the difference between a light tap, a hard press, and a shake. For the latest first-person shooters where speed and accuracy are vital, that should make a world of difference to the playing experience so long as the changes have been implemented correctly.

While the device will (obviously) be able to do anything that a good smartphone made by Apple or Samsung can do, its description makes it sound more like a mini-console than a communications device. For an extra charge, users can buy a special dock that provides your phone with access to a second display. The phone can project to smart televisions for a full-screen experience, and an additional gamepad can be bought if the smaller controls on the phone are too fiddly to deal with. It sounds like they’ve thought of everything – so is this going to be the phone that finally puts a dent in the sales figures of console companies?

We wouldn’t want to try to answer that question just yet. We still don’t know enough about the impact that 5G is likely to have, or how widely available the network will be. We also don’t know how ready the public is to break with its long-standing gaming habits. What we do know, though, is that this is the most heavy-duty gaming mobile handset we’ve ever seen – and it’s a very powerful tool. If this can’t capture the public’s attention, perhaps no gaming mobile can.

 

Most mobile phones are complex devices since they can do a lot of things. You can use them to call your loved ones, access your social media accounts, do work, and a lot more. They can also be forms of entertainment that can keep your attention for hours.

However, these little devices are known to be fragile. You can break your phone’s glass display if it accidentally falls from your grip. Their edges can crack, and they can even shatter when they hit the concrete. While you are bathing, dropping your phone in a tub full of water can certainly ruin your day.

Since phones are fragile, most people buy additional accessories for protection. If you are one of them, you may notice most salespeople offering magnetic phone cases that stick and device glasses to lessen the impact whenever you accidentally dropped your mobile. Some are getting cases since they are more convenient for people who use their mobile while driving. The cases are just some of the essential accessories that you should get when buying your device.

Why Cover your Mobile Device?

1. Protection

The entire point of a case is to protect your mobile device from damage. Whether you are prone to drop things accidentally or have decided to throw your cell phone because you and your loved one argued, the surrounding covers can still protect it. This means that you can hope that your phone will still be functioning after calming down and picking it up.

Some people choose magnetic types since these are shockproof and very durable. They are made from metal, and the phone may fall within 10 feet without any ding. You can also pick up your mobile immediately if you accidentally drop it in water instead of putting it in rice to still function. Read more about putting phones in an uncooked rice when you click here. Whenever you have a cover that does its job well, expect that all the parts will be perfectly dry and usable after an accident.

2. Useful for Car Mounts

Lots of people are driving, and they use their phones for navigation. Some wanted to see their screens all the time because they are expecting a call or they have important messages that they can’t miss. The best thing about switching to a magnetic iPhone case is that you can mount it to your car.

There are compatible car mounts that may be great for you, which will enable you to attach your device to the dashboard without a hitch. The phone stays in your view, even if you drive at full speed and expect that they will not fall. If you drive a motorcycle, the magnetic case is better than those flimsy plastics, which can even cause accidents to you if you are not careful. This is a must accessory that you should use if you have a vehicle.

3. Lenses are Great

If you are into photography, there are specific cases that have excellent camera lenses for your needs. Some have features such as macro, super-wide, and angle lenses that you can pop on to your camera. The strong magnetic pull will make the shots clear since the covers will hold the glasses in place.

Magnetic Cases are very Affordable.

The good news is that you can get all the protection and convenience that you need at a very affordable price. There are exclusive sales where you can buy the magnetic cases starting at $30, and they are already made for the latest iPhones out there. In fact, you can know more about why other people get covers fir their mobiles here: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-we-use-smartphone-cases.

You can choose the colors and see the features that you think are right for you. Some companies offer money-back guarantee and free replacements, so these are the deals that you should not miss.

If you want to avoid damaging your mobile device, then get a protective cover. But you should not settle to just any other protective case. You should choose the magnetic and waterproof ones that will make your life easier. If you have an adventurer streak within you, you can drive for miles without worrying about your phone dropping from your car mounts. If you are a photographer and love to capture moments, choose the ones with excellent lenses for your needs.

One of the most exciting features of WhatsApp is the Live Location function that allows iPhone users to share their current location. It tracks your location and enables you to share it with your contacts in real-time. For whatever reason you may want to let someone know of your exact location or route, this feature comes in handy indeed.

However, if you wish to fake your live location on WhatsApp (i.e., pull a prank, prepare a surprise for a friend, or just don’t want others to know where you are), you can certainly send a fake location on WhatsApp, so you appear you are elsewhere. Luckily, there are several fake GPS WhatsApp apps you could try out. To save you from this trouble, we have gone through a tedious trial-and-error process for you and come up with the best method to help you fake your live location on WhatsApp hassle-free and securely.

The Guaranteed Way – Dr. Fone Virtual Location

Dr. Fone – Virtual Location (iOS) is an iOS location changer that allows you to swift your GPS location and keep your privacy (or for whatever other reason). With the app, you can:

• Teleport your iPhone GPS to any place around the globe.
• Simulate GPS movement along a selected road or route with different speeds and different pause time between the movement.
• Fake your location in AR games and social apps.
• Make all your location-based apps believe that you are actually at a chosen fake location.

Here is how to enable the app on your iPhone and fake your location on WhatsApp:

1. Teleport to a desired area

• Download Dr. Fone – Virtual Location (iOS).
• Install, launch, and tap Virtual Location.
• Connect your smartphone to your PC and hit Get Started.
• Click the Teleport icon (third option from the top-right menu).
• Enter the location where you want to teleport and click Go > Move Here.

2. Simulate movement between two spots

• Select the One-Stop icon (the first in the top-right side of the screen).
• Choose the spot you want to go to.
• Decide how fast you want to walk by dragging the slider accordingly.
• Click Move Here.
• Select the number of times you wish to move along these two places and click March.

For movement between multiple spots, you select (1) the Multi-stop icon (the second option), then (2) the places you wish to pass by from (ensure they are along a specific road, so this does not seem/feel fake or like cheating to the game developer), and then (3) set the moving speed like with the one-stop process.

The Standard Way – Using WhatsApp Live Location

This end-to-end encrypted function allows you to pinpoint exactly where you are in real-time for a set period of time (you determine the duration your location is shared). Note that you also get to decide who you want to share your location with (all of your contacts or a select few).

Here is how to turn on Live Location on your iOS-powered device.

1. Launch WhatsApp.
2. Open a chat with the contact you wish to know of your current location.
3. Tap the plus (“+”) button on the left side of the chatbox.
4. Tap Location from the menu that will appear.
5. Hit Share Live Location and select the amount of time you wish to share your live location.

Remember: To stop sharing your location, select Stop Sharing from the chat window and then Stop.

Now, here is how to fake your location on WhatsApp using the manual method. Note that the current WhatsApp version may as well perceive this method as fake. So, there is a 50-50 chance this might not work as expected.

1. Open a chat with the contact(s) you want to share your location with.
2. Tap the plus (“+”) or paperclip icon (Attach option).
3. Choose Location.
4. Type in the location where you want to appear in the search bar.
5. Pick the location of your likes from the map.
6. The app will now demonstrate your faked location with that particular person/group of people.

In many instances, using this method to send a fake location on WhatsApp shows incorrect supplementary data. For example, you may appear on the map, but the rest of the details may be wrong. So, you definitely need a much better way to fake your WhatsApp live location. In this case, a reliable GPS spoofing app will do. We have found out that Dr. Fone – Virtual Location (iOS) is one of the best options out there.

Using Dr. Fone – Virtual Location (iOS) is a fast, efficient, and safe way to fake your WhatsApp live location. That aside, it can be used to both share a fake location on WhatsApp and other location-based applications on your iPhone. Plus, you have the chance to simulate false movement along two or more spots, making this whole endeavor look even more real. Whether to ensure your privacy, play a prank, or just impress, this WhatsApp fake live location app will help achieve your goals for sure.

Conference calls can go one of two ways: into hyper-productivity mode, where all of the call’s goals are reached and everyone participates, or into derailment mode. I don’t think the latter needs an explanation, as each of us has experienced such a call at one point or another. Susan’s going on about her neighbor’s new husband, Dan is talking about the newest HR policy he doesn’t like, and you’re stuck struggling to rein everyone in to get back on track.

So, how do you keep Dan and Susan on subject and the call productive? In this short guide, we’ll cover some conference calling basics that will help you host the best calls possible. From choosing the right platform for your calls to using an agenda and minimizing interruptions, we’re discussing the entire spectrum of problems and solutions for the best conference calls.

The Platform Matters

When you’re hosting an online conference call, the platform you’re hosting on absolutely matters. Some platforms are much more accessible than others, offer better tools to help control the call, and are simply better than the competition.

Conference calling services from www.conferencecalling.com, for example, are among the best in the industry. Vast Conference offers many features in its platform, including call recording, video calling, and more! The platform you host your call on can have a serious impact on the success of the call. If your callers are struggling to connect, you won’t be very productive.

Online services are great because they don’t cost extra for long-distance calls, and you can host up to a few hundred people at once, instead of only a few like you would with a landline or mobile phone.

Agendas, Schedules, and Invites

Scheduling a call isn’t an easy task when everyone is on a different schedule. The great thing about web-based conference calling services is that many of them can sync with calendar apps like Google Calendar, so your invites go directly to everyone’s Gmail account.

Perhaps the most important component of any conference call is the agenda. Every meeting should have an agenda to look to for guidance. The agenda should include the time and date of the meeting, the location (or link to the online conference room), guest list, and the talking points of the meeting.

You should set a goal for every call, which will give everyone something to work towards and keep the call on track when it starts to derail.

Keeping The Call On Track

Speaking of which, how do you keep a call from derailing constantly? Aside from setting goals and expectations for your callers, you’ll need to do a few other things. Interruptions from background noise and other distractions can disrupt the call and throw everyone off track. That’s what makes the mute button such a wonderful tool!

With online conferencing tools, you can easily mute any callers who are being disruptive, or simply remove them altogether; giving you greater control over the call than you would have with a phone call.

Minimize Interruptions

In order to minimize disruptions, you’ll need to set the example as the host. Find a nice quiet area to host the call, free from background noise and other distractions. Be sure to let everyone know when the call starts that they should be muting themselves if they’re not talking. Keeping everyone meeting leaves the focus solely on the speaker, and minimizes the level of background noise in the call.

It’s also a good idea to silence your phone and other notifications during the call. If you’re joining a call from your computer, your mobile or office phone could still ring during the call, disrupting everyone in the process. Put notifications on silent or do not disturb.

Invite the Right People

Inviting the right people to the call is half the battle. Some people are just born to be disruptive or have a reputation for always having too much background noise. And some people simply don’t need to participate in the call at all because the talking points aren’t relevant to them.

Trim your guest list as much as possible before hosting the call. Does Jim really need to attend, or would a follow-up email be sufficient to bring him up to date? He always seems to have a neighbor who’s mowing the lawn, after all…always during a call.

Stick to the Agenda

Your meeting agenda is your roadmap for when things get off course. If you find the meeting is starting to shift away from the subject matter, remind everyone to look at the details on the agenda and get back to the subject at hand.

Keep Meetings Short

Be honest with yourself; do you want to spend 2-3 hours in a conference call? If your immediate answer was “no”, you’re like much of the professional population. No one truly enjoys meetings and conference calls, but they are a necessity. What’s important is that you recognize this, and work to keep meetings more concise.

In fact, the best meetings take under an hour to complete. You’ll find maximum efficiency and productivity if your meetings/calls fall somewhere between 45 minutes and one hour. This is because after about 60 minutes, people tend to grow bored, uncomfortable, and eager to get back to what they were doing. Keep things short and sweet for the best results!

The Bottom Line

Hosting conference calls is easy when you know how to use an agenda, have a great call platform to work with and understand that shorter meetings are more effective. Don’t be afraid to be firm with disruptive callers, and encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with that mute button!

One of the most common complaints among device owners is the irritatingly brittle cords that accompany most chargers. We can all relate to purchasing a new charging cord to replace an old busted one only to have the fresh cord break just a few weeks later. And almost as annoying is the requirement for a plethora of different charging cord types. The average family has upwards of 13 different devices in one home, often requiring different charger types.

MAGFAST’s products address four key considerations in the evolution of chargers: portability, rapid charging, multi-compatibility, and ultra-convenience (for which they’ve implemented a cunning new system using magnets.)

Device users are frequently on the go, so whether they’re in their car, trying to keep a waning phone battery from dying while following Google Maps, or just keeping a watch charged while staying late at the office, they need a portable charger. For those same reasons, consumers need a charger that works fast, preferably with most or all of their devices. And magnets are the most efficient way to deliver that charge.

Let’s take a look at the MAGFAST Wall and see how it stacks up to the company’s tall order of satisfying these four issues.

In a glowing five-star review, Jennifer Carrera writes, “I absolutely love the [MAGFAST] designs, especially the reason behind why the USB-A ports are situated the way they are. I also love interacting with the MAGFAST staff; they are attentive to every detail and care very much about their mission. So happy to be following and a part of their growth. Good job, super excited for production to be complete and receive my MAGFAST Family.”

The MAGFAST Wall’s design prioritizes the placement of its multiple charging ports, allowing the user to charge multiple devices at once with one charger that fits flush against the wall. The cousin to the Wall is MAGFAST Road, which functions much in the same way but can be used in one’s car. MAGFAST Life is ideal for portability, with users able to take the lightweight body with them on the go for easy, discreet charging anywhere. And MAGFAST Life’s big brother MAGFAST Extreme can jump start a car as well as provide plenty of wired and wireless charging.

But MAGFAST’s greatest contribution to advancing device chargers is the MAGFAST Air, which charges via Qi and magnetic technology. Market trends, such as the Apple AirPods, indicate that many devices will soon cater to wireless connectivity, whether in audio-video or charging.

When we talk about optimizing device chargers, we aren’t just talking about improving convenience. Chargers are not known for their environmental friendliness or compatibility. MAGFAST products have been recognized for addressing this issue, as evidenced by its sponsorship of Trees for the Future. For every single MAGFAST product sold, a tree is planted. For every purchase of the MAGFAST Pro Kit, seven trees are planted. To date, MAGFAST has planted over ¼ million trees. Impressive stuff.

 

There is no question that people want fewer cords and fewer hassles. How can I say this with such absolute clarity? Simply because the people have spoken with their wallets and provided the charging cord company known as MAGFAST with over $300,000 in the first 15 minutes of a crowdfunding campaign to create a charger that is less messy and involved. That was a very clear signal from the market that something needed to be done and fast in regards to these cords.

The thing that seems to appeal to people about a MAGFAST charger is the fact that it is far easier on the eyes than the tangle of cords that we usually have to deal with. It has that going for it along with the fact that it is affordable and fast-charging, but we will get back to that in a moment.

A MAGFAST charger can fit in your hand, but it contains enough power within it to literally jump start a car. It is the most power allowed by federal regulations, and MAGFAST has put it all into their charger to please their customers. They want those customers to know that they have something that can rapidly charge a smartphone or anything else with lightening speed.

There are a variety of products released under the same company name that may be useful to you in a variety of situations. People love how flexible it is in that it is great for nearly any life situation that they may encounter. Need to charge devices in the car? There is a MAGFAST charger for that. What about going with wireless charging in the house or the office? There is a solution for that as well. Basically, no matter what obstacle you can think of, there is a charger that is waiting and ready for you to use from this family of products.

On top of everything already mentioned there is also the fact that a lot of chargers end up in a landfill somewhere in the country very quickly. They are cheaply made, and that means they are prone to stop working in no time at all. Before long, a user is discarding the charger when it stops working or even when they forget what device it is to be used for. This is awful for the environment as it contributes even more to the greenhouse effect that we all contribute to daily. However, the more powerful and more useful chargers made by this company are designed to go the distance. Thus, they are made with the best products and materials to ensure that they can go the distance and stand up for their users. That is the ultimate goal for any charger company.

As far as affordability is concerned, there is no doubt that they stand up on this count as well. After all, one can choose to purchase a single component for just $49 or they can purchase the whole family of chargers for $297. That opens up the ability to get these chargers to people of all incomes and all different means.

Everyone seems to be appreciative of what MAGFAST has done to provide them with the chance to have something that protects their ability to have devices that are charged quickly and yet do not have all of the clutter that often goes along with that. Those who desire both of these things know where to turn, and they turn to MAGFAST for help.
