I don’t even know how to ask this really so please forgive me if it does not make sense. I just got an iPhone 16 Pro and AirPods Pro two and also a watch nine. When I got the cords for the iPod two pro and the 16 pro I noticed that the cords did not fit into USB on my search protector or the thing that you plug your devices into. Mine has three USB ports. I had to get my fast charging block and plug it into that and then plug it into my phone. When I plugged it into the USB ports, it would not charge. is this normal behavior because of the USbc? My watch nine can still be charged in the USB port. What kind of surge protector, or whatever that is called that you plug all those devices into, would I get? Should it be mostly USB-C? Would the cord for the watch fit into the USB-C places on the device surge protector? Thank you for any help understanding all of this.

Back in the day with the old flip phones you'd get a charger with each phone you bought and if you wanted a second charger you had to buy it specifically for your phone. If you lost your charger years down the road you had a heck of a time to find one and all that. Nowadays with USB-C as the standard this is simply no issue any more and if you happen to forget your cable, you can ask just about anybody to borrow one or if you really want to buy one you can get it at any electronics store, at airports and probably even in most convenience stores. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Carolyn Arnold Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2024 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: I'm replacing my iPhone 8 Yes.

I do recall when Apple first started announcing they were going to switch to USBC. I’m pretty sure this was prior to the release of the 14 models but it didn’t happen until the 15 was released.

In contrast, the iphone 15 which I just upgraded to has a fully uspc cable. It was quite a surprise for me because I did not have any wall adapters that would take that type of cable, and my laptop does not have any of those type of ports either. I had to purchase a compatible charging port to be able to charge my phone.

However, you can also use your older cable usb-a to lightening cable to charge your phone, it will just charge more slowly. As for the language thing, you need to keep flicking through the screen until you hear english spoken, and then double tap the screen and it should be in english. So the phone will just keep cycling through all the available languages until you double tap the one that you want. You just keep listening and flicking back and fourth on the screen until you hear english and then double tap. Then the rest of the iphone setup will continue. I personally took my phone to my carrier and had them set it up for me. It was far less stressful for me that way because they knew exactly what they were doing and had my phone up and running with all of my information transferred in about 20 minutes.

My new phone appears to have the lightning cable, which is actually fine with me. Can someone confirm that's what this cable is? Next, and actually more important, I powered up the phone and turned on VoiceOver. It's speaking a language I don't recognize. How do I change it? Thanks for any help.
