James, Firs to fall I apologize, but I was wrong about the 245 Watts total output, I just looked it up on the manufacturer's website and it only has 140 Watts output. However, unless you are fast charging a new Mac laptop at that capacity, you can still use all 3 ports to operate 3 devices. I was just away and I used the 140 Watt port for my Lenovo laptop, the 100 Watt port for my "Butterfly" charger and I had a USB-A to USB-C cable plugged into the USB-A port to charge my headset. Hyper does make a 4-port 245 Watt desktop charger and external battery which I also have and I think I mixed it up. If you are strictly using this at home I would recommend the 4-port desktop charger as it has a cable you plug into the wall outlet and into the charger whereas my 140 Watt charger is meant as a compact travel charger with a foldable plug so your ports will be right down there wherever you plug it into the wall outlet and while many hotels nowadays have an outlet above the side table or a desk, if they don't you might be moving furniture to plug everything in. I also find this charger has one flaw in it's design as the foldable plug is on one of the narrow sides which means it sticks out from the wall quite a bit. As it's also quite heavy, this often makes for a not very secure connection and I have used it in the Philippines where the plug fits in the wall outlet, but it was so loose that I had to find something to prop it up with. I actually plan to get myself a short, maybe 2-foot cable I can pluginto the wall first so I can potentially put this on the ground for such situations. I have seen other chargers from Anker who are designed the same way and I don't understand why they don't design it so the plug is on the flat side which means the flat side would be against the outlet and it would stick out a lot less and the weight would not be pulling away from the wall so much. Not sure if this makes sense, but imagine you put a piece of 2-sided tape on a deck of cards which is inside a cardboard box ro which is still wrapped. You want to stick this to a wall. If you put the piece of 2-sided tape on one of the narrow, long sides and stuck that to the wall, it would be very difficult as it sticks out a lot and would want to pull away from the wall. If you put that piece of tape right in the middle on the flat side of the deck it would only stick out by the thickness of the deck, maybe half an inch or a bit more and it would stick just fine.
Anyways, I have these 3 Hyper products because I bought them when they were a Kickstarter campagne years ago and you could not really find much with that capacity. The battery pack, by the way, is big and very heavy, fantastic if you want lots of power, it can run my laptop, but not what you want if you want to pack light. Nowadays Anker makes many options with 100 Watts and 200 Watts and they also make a 250 Watt desktop charger with I think 8 ports. I just bought a 200 Watt desktop charger from them during Black Friday with 6 ports and while my Hyper 245 Watt charger with 4 ports can put out more per port, the question really is whether it's needed. The Hyper desktop charger and external battery also have 4 USB-C ports only, the only one which has 1 of the older, larger USB-A ports is that 140 Watt travel charger. The 200 Watt Anker desktop charger I just bought has 2 USB-A ports and 4 USB-C ports which might be a bit more versatile if you still have devices you may want to charge with a Micro USB plug as they typically have a larger USB-A port on the other end.

Ron, only you can make that decision. I think most of us on this list buy a new iPhone and tghen have it for at least 2 or 3 years or in many cases longer. I had an iPhone 13 Pro which I actually bought in 2022, a year after it was first released, because at that point I got a significantly better deal for it compared to buying the newest phone at the time which was the iPhone 14 Pro. I did buy an iPhone 16 pro this year because I use dictationand Siri a lot and I wanted to have access to all these Apple Intelligence features as they are being introduced throughout the fall of 2024 and the spring/summer of 2025. If this is not important to you, there is little reason to spend the money for an iPhone 16 or 156 Pro. In fact, the iPhone 15 Pro which was released in September of 2023 will also support Apple Intelligence and you probably can get a much better deal on it. For me a smaller yet welconme benefit of the iPhone 16 Pro is also the fact it has a USB-C port instead of the Lightning port which means I have to worry even less about having the right cable, all I need when I go somewhere is 2 or 3 USB-c cables now because the headsets I have all use USB-C for charging and even my laptop charges via USB-C. Therefore, I aso only need one wall adapter because I have one which has 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port (the older larger USB port). One of the USB-C ports puts out 140 Watts which is more than enough to charge my Lenovo laptop. The second puts out 100 Watts and the USB-A port puts out 30 Watts, if you use all three ports at the same time they can output a combined total of 245 Watts. As for the form factor, I prefer the slightly larger iPhones when compared to the SE model, but I don't want the size of a Plus or Pro Max phone and I also prefer Face Id over touch Id. Your iPhone SEE from 2022 actually has the sam e processor as the iPhone 13/13 Pro family and also the same as the regular iPhone 14 because when Apple released the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro phones inn 2023, only the Pro models got a new processor. If your iPhone SE does everything you want I wouldn't worry about it and continue to use it until you are not happy with it any more or until you feel a new iPhone has features you want and which are not supported on the iPhone SE from 2022 which I think was the third generation iPhone SE. Apple is expected to release a new iPhone SE next spring which I expect will have the same processor as the iPhone 16, but while it may still have a slightly different form factor and a camera system with lower specifications, this phone is expected to also use Face Id instead of Touch Id and it will be a larger phone as well, no longer the small form factor with the 4.7 inch screen. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Ron Canazzi Sent: Monday, December 9, 2024 12:02 PM To: ViPhone List <[email protected]> Subject: What Are The Advantages For Totally Blind People In Getting The Top Of The Line iPhone/s Whenever They Are Released? Hi Group, While monitoring this list, I see that many people are ordering the latest and greatest iPhones: 15, 16, and so on. Now of course, I don't know the visual status of all posters on this list nor would I be so bold as to ask each one who says they have just purchased said models. I myself am totally blind and have an SE 2022 model with minimal capacity 64 GB I believe. I am able to download and install numerous audio related apps as well as home items and their apps and use them very well. I am even able to record with reasonable fidelity direct from SiriusXm and TuneIn apps. Even with the somewhat limited memory capacity, I don't notice any real lag or lock up incident using my SE 2022. According to my sighted friends, the only major issue is the inferior video. So again, is there any real advantage to a totally blind person to go out and purchase the latest iPhone model/s? -- Signature: For a nation to admit it has done grievous wrongs and will strive to correct them for the betterment of all is no vice; For a nation to claim it has always been great, needs no improvement and to cling to its past achievements is no virtue! -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
