Love your videos. Recently bought a iPhone 14 pro and I’ve bought all the accessories off your recommendations… I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for your efforts and doing this!!

[@kaskovic1993]

Congratz but should have waited for 15 in September

[@keatman]

You are the reviewer that compares whole bunch of product in a short-straight-to-the-point video. Thank you very much!

[@mitchlewis535]

You do an excellent job with this videos! The editing, your personality....all excellent! Hopefully your audience continues to grow as I feel you're one of the best reviewers out there. Thanks for producing this new one! 🙂

[@MooseBeCanadian]

A few days ago I searched for “MagSafe vs alternatives”, hoping you had done a video like this. I open KZbin tonight and this pops up! Awesome, in depth reviews as always 👍🏻.

[@gbcraw]

Thanks for taking the time to research all this and put this video together.

[@JadeSambrook]

Monty's shirt collar and tie defintely charged my day better than any magsafe charger could!

[@nitamckeethen6986]

Great video! Great information and fun to watch. Love your dog!

[@seancorrigan_]

the belkin charger is the ONLY non apple magsafe charger that will charge at 15w i don’t think this was mentioned in this video (it’s also cheaper than apples charger and has a longer braided cable)

[@Slimothy]

*Keep in mind, the hotter it runs, the worse it is on your battery. You might save a measly 25 bucks getting the Anker instead of the Apple MagSafe charger, but after a year, you may have more wear on your battery and want to replace that, which is either 80 or 100$ now (I think Apple raised their battery replacement prices). Gotta think ahead.*

[@juliolopez6490]

So MagSafe is better???

[@hyri3188]

@@juliolopez6490Sort of yea. Apple MagSafe costs quite a lot and charges pretty slow, but that’s exactly what makes the phone battery less damaged. Plus both of the Apple devices can communicate and not overcharge the phone

[@thalio03]

I would like to know what you think of the ESR Halock kickstand one 😊

[@FoxxFire]

A'n'M-the-Ho's! The most impressive part isn't that you bought all of those, which is admittedly cool, but rather that you had to discharge the phone with every test. That must have taken forever man. Anyway, this was a helpful video. Hope all is well with you guys. Glad to see you still posting, and gee whiz, up to nearly 400k subs? I've been watching you since you were in the 30k range breaking iPhone 6 Plus's in a Speck grip case :)

[@RJtoon1]

I’d like to know how the Otterbox MagSafe ranked? Just got one 2 days ago for my 14 and it seems great, not much heat and charges pretty fast. I THINK it is capped at 7.5 W and if that’s the case I don’t mind, I’m never in a massive rush to charge

[@joannekress6383]

Love the videos!! Your amazon link takes me to the american amazon site. Any chance you could give me the Canadian amazon link for the Anker magsafe charger?

[@funnyunkle]

Canadian dollars for a Canadian Reviewer hehe. Thanks for this insight on Magsafe. It always so frustrating to see ads to 15 w when it not truly that.

[@bufaresq8]

Thank you very much.

[@Turnpost2552]

[@KJAYG]

I know it’s not really what you do, but man would I love if you’d review Canadian cellphone carriers.

Got the mous charger, but I do not get the cool animation when charging. Is it just a Qi charger with magnets?

May i know where did you get your bracelets from ?

[@fernanam]

Have you ever tried the Casetify Magnetic Wireless Charger?

[@KenniCrazy]

i had the apple MagSafe puck and returned it the next day. not sure if mine was defective or not, but it would become EXTREMELY hot after a short period of time.

[@Slash18622]

Sometimes it takes a while for your iPhone software to adjust to it which leads to excessive heating.

[@Sarahonwheels]

That’s normal for charging. I use a MagSafe charger and a MagSafe battery pack for on the go sometimes and they get warm. It’s the price you pay.

[@KenniCrazy]

@@Sarahonwheels i get its normal for heat, im using the belkin 3 in 1 stand magsafe and it doesn’t get no where near as hot as the magsafe puck when i had it so i’m not sure what happened. that’s why i just prefer the belkin, no issues at all

[@Sarahonwheels]

@@KenniCrazyI do have a 3 and 1 stand that I use for overnight use and it doesn’t get hot but the smartish charge dingy I use sometimes get warm. Charges great though. I think it’s just how brands generate heat

[@AK-IT]

6:10 the iPhone 12 mini & 13 mini charge up to 12 W on a MagSafe charger, other phones charge up to 15 W. Thats prolly why only a 10% difference (6:18) between the 7.5 W chargers.

[@njmaag]

i got fancy expensive belkin magsafe charger bc review showed as fast or smidge faster than apple magsafe charger.

[@jarrodferrell9527]

You should test the zerolemon magsafe charger

[@tuqe]

Non contact thermometers depend on surface finish, put masking tape from the same roll over the entire back if you want to keep using it

[@MsVtorie]

Can we get an updated wireless charging MagSafe car mount? 😅

[@Minusroot8]

I’m still using my 5 watt brick on my iPhone 14 Pro. Charge it overnight and lasts all day.

[@Slash18622]

Probably also the healthiest for your battery to charge it that way.

[@bigmaxcc]

I never understand this logic why buy a expensive phone just to charge it slow like buying a fast sports car only to be driving slow whyyyy!!! 5w leads to 4hrs Really 2023 using a slow brick 💀 Screw it super fast charge that bad boy replacing the battery not even that expensive 😎

[@GabrielIgnacio]

@@bigmaxcc It’s mainly for maintaining the health of the battery over time, as heat is the biggest enemy of batteries and faster chargers heat up more. I’ve honestly stopped caring about battery health all that much as replacements aren’t too bad specially with applecare and the battery savings you get by slow charging are negligible over time. Batteries will wear out no matter what you do.

[@stiegelzeine2186]

@@bigmaxcc since when is the charging speed making the phone slow? When comparing this to cars it’s actually a electric vs gas car comparison if he charges it with 5w it just takes much longer than pumping gas into the car

Aaron please review Casekoo

[@JC-qk8zc]

What about the Belkin?

[@wiki3065]

thank you for the thickness test, I bought a rokform case for my iphone 15 pro max, and neither the Anker Cube nor the Apple Magsafe can make a connection. Waiting for the ESR Halolock Mini to arrive, going to stick a magsafe halo to the back of the charger and stick it to the Anker Cube, that way when I use the cube to wirelessly charge again, even if it defeats the purpose of being a 3-in-1 charger, but it doesn't work with my case anyway. Update: it works

[@xartic1608]

Great test but it was flawed with the phone you used. According to Apple, the max MagSafe charge speed on the iPhone 13 mini is capped at 12W.

[@producerevan88]

Great video, one thing though. Your whites and other highlights in the video were clipping hard today kind sir!

[@koskey06]

I want slow and cool for a mag safe home charger. Cuz when sleeping I don't need fast....I want slow/something easy on my battery.

[@etforde]

Measuring temperature on metallic surfaces with infrared thermometers is not very accurate 🙈 you’ll end up measuring a lot of reflected temperatures. Your fingers are more precise 👍

[@suntha]

Please test and opine: RORRY 3 in 1 Magnetic Wireless Charger, 15W Fast Charging Pad and Phone Ring Holder, Μαg-Sαfe/Qi Wireless Charger Compatible with iPhone 11/12/13/14 Series, Apple Watch 8/7/6/5/4/3/SE/Ultra,(White)

[@victuringan1429]

Not surprised with anker. Even their powerbanks overheat like hell.

[@njmaag]

see how good magsafe works for best waterproof cases and do waterproof cases on 14 pro max

[@betspath]

I just got my first mag charger. Mine is so difficult to take off charger! Is that normal or is there a trick to it?

[@commentariat]

What about the trickle charging thing that Apple MagSafe does in order to protect the battery-do any other brands do that?

[@ashe.gaming]

I got one by a company called Tecknet who claims their 15W Magnetic Wireless Charger can charge an iPhone at 7.5W, Airpods at 5W, Samsung phones at 10W and LG and Google Pixel phones at 15W. I have a Google Pixel 8 Pro (supports up to 23W wireless charging) with the Mous Super Thin MagSafe case and I got a HUGE 2.6W. At least the magnets are good.🙄

[@Hardpee789]

Am I the only guy that uses double-sided tape to stick his MagSafe charger to the side of a table or a wall?.. I’ve done this with every MagSafe charger I have in strategic locations around my house.. now I have a place to put my phone that doesn’t take up table space and charges my phone. … I feel like this is a no-brainer.. but I don’t know anyone else who has done this. 😂

[@alexwolfe7261]

Probably one of the very few 😂 great idea though 🤔

[@ONMCOM]

magsafe good !

[@FingerTightRacing8]

Anker is my go to charger and cable company, the magnet strength made me keep buying that brand

[@chrishamilton1189]

Have you thought about getting rid of Monte?

[@arondyte318]

I can actually attest on how hot those Anker magsafe chargers can go as mine short circuited and it bursted from the inside while I was asleep. The odd thing is that it’s wasn’t even charging anything. It charred and distorted the plastic casing as well as my white wooden desk. That scared the heck out of me and I now only the use the official Apple MagSafe chargers and MagSafe Duo plugged to official Apple chargers. Never will I use 3rd party ones ever again (especially not from Anker)

[@ZinoAmare]

Doggo!

[@Mr.White1]

What’s actually the benefit of magsafe? They’re wired same as regular chargers. Magsafe you stick to the back and the other one plug in. And magsafe charges slower.

[@AuchNLauch]

Idk man, I can kinda see the increased comfort in having one next to your bed for example, but other than that the only benefit at this point probably is that it doesn't rely on a functioning lightning port. I had mine break before which sucks. Guess in a couple years phones will charge wirelessly only. Less mechanical parts, better water resistance, slimmer phones.

[@Sarahonwheels]

I like using it because I go through cords like crazy

[@cashflow68]

I just stick with the Apple mag safe. It’s made & designed for my iPhone 13. No complaints, it just works. I don’t want to over analyze because I have a life to live. Very informative video. Thanks

[@ralex3697]

How about just plugging it in ? sheesh

[@user-dz4qc7gk3u]

Is Aaron solo reviewing again?

[@chadh6855]

He and Val had a breakup. She was a hot friend from crossfit class he got to help with videos even though he's married with a kid. Things got strange when he rented a separate house away from the wife so he could do late night videos alone with Val and get her drunk, do whatever. She moved to Ecuador with her kids, has a new boyfriend and sings in a band now.

[@ZinoAmare]

[@samlui3591]

im surprise belkins offerings were not on here. i have their boost pro which is far better than apples offering.

[@wanzacharywanisa5762]

But if you are concern about fast charging, why not go for cable?

[@MW-yj8zk]

Heat + batteries is not good!

[@volatilememory9338]

Apple artificially limits charging to 7.5 watts for third-party magsafe chargers, so they will never be as fast as an official Apple magsafe at 15 watts.

[@_DST0NE_]

I wouldn’t go so far as to say Anker is a “cheapo” brand.

Is it just me or the video is a little too bright? Sometimes the chargers or the boxes are just white lol
