[QUOTE="Bob M., post: 1875463, member: 200112"] So I did some reading and then went out and bought the iPhone 11. It comes only with a cable, on one end it has the usual connector that goes into the iPhone (fits both of my phones) and also fits my rechargeable Apple keyboard. But on the other end, rather than that usual USB connector (that goes into my iMac and the various charger/adapters I have), it has a much smaller connector that mates with the Apple 20 watt charger (for fast charging) that my girlfriend who was with me, bought for me and she said, "You'll need this". Now, today, I did hook up my new iPhone 11 to my iMac using a standard lightening cable (I have several of these) and that also seems to also work fine and my new iPhone 11 shows the charging icon. So, I guess I can now charge the phone fast or slow. I think I read somewhere when setting up this new iPhone 11 that the phone prefers to be charged only to about 80%, what's that about? Lots to learn, Bob M. [/QUOTE]
