Today’s Quick Tip….
Choosing a charger for your new iPhone
If you’ve recently purchase either a new iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 you might have been shocked to discover that there was no charger in the box.
You basically received the phone and a charging cable, and that’s it.
If you’re confused by all the many chargers that are available, here are a few tips for choosing on that’ll work well with your new iPhone:
1 – Most any high-quality charger that you already happen to own should do the job just fine. As long as it can connect to a Lightning cable in some way you’ll be good to go.
2 – If you really need to purchase a new charger you should look for one that’s both Apple MFi Certified and Power Delivery (PD) capable.
3 – If you’d prefer charging your phone wirelessly, you’re in luck. Both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 support MagSafe wireless charging.
To summarize, when you go to shop for a charger for your iPhone 12/13 be sure to look for the Apple MFi Certified and Power Delivery (PD) designations for a wired charger or MagSafe if you want to charge your phone wirelessly.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
SanDisk 1TB Extreme Pro Portable SSD (#ad)
The only thing more handy than a spacious external hard drive is a spacious (and super-fast) external USB solid state drive (SSD).
This little jewel from SanDisk works perfectly with both Windows PCs and Macs.
It’s sort of like having the convenience of a thumb drive coupled with the capacity and dependability of an SSD. What’s not to love?
