Um, Yes steve,
This has been so since late 2020 After apple advised that they wouldn't be supplying charging bricks with phones any longer. You don't have to use the Usb-C to lightening cable, You can use an older lightening to usb-a and associated charging brick it just wont charge as quickly. Or purchase a magsafe charger for your iPhone 12, or even wifi charging pad. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Steve Matzura Sent: Tuesday, 8 June 2021 11:00 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: iPhone 12 Pro Max Unboxing Warning The stock package for an iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a charging cable, but no charger. This is the first phone I've had, starting with the venerable 4S, where no little charger cube was hiding ina nook or cranny in the main iPhone box. What you do get is a charging cable, and thereby hangs another tale, because you need to know that the end that's supposed to go into your little charging cube wall wart that you don't get, that connector is not USB-A--it's USB-C. So if you don't have any USB-C charger wall warts in the house, you're going to be kiind-of stuck until you either get one or buy the accessory kit from your phone store or provider that contains a case and the new wireless MagSafe charging square. I got lucky--I didn't foresee this problem, but I did want the wireless charging option plus the case plus the screen protection. Oh yeah, no earbuds either. The above aside, they've done a clever thing regarding installing the tempered glass screen protector--you now get a plastic form that neatly fits over the iPhone itself. What you do with it is, you turn it upside down and lay it on a flat surface, oritent yourself with the tempered-glass screen protector so you know which is the end with a notch cut out of it--that's the earpiece end, take it out of its wrapping and sheathing, and lay it very gently adhesive side up in the plastic form. Then, orient the phone itself in the same way as the screen protector, remove its packaging covering, and lay it down into the form on top of the adhesive backing of the screen protector. By doing this, the screen protector is absolutely assured of being in perfect position on the front side of the phone, and you don't get any fingerprints anywhere. The slightest bit of oil from your fingers on the front side will diminish the ability of the screen protector's adhesive side to stick to the phone's glass face, and this new way of applying these rigid-glass protectors seems to be a great thing, especially for blind people. I wish I'd've had this for the XS Max last year. If I did, I probably wouldn't have put it on ever so slightly crooked, and it might not have come off about five months later, also probably due to my having touched the screen and polluting the surface with my body fluids (LOL) to orient it when putting it on. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
