there you have your answer. those chargers are overkill and shouldn't be used regularly. i've been using a 5w apple charger (the one that came with the iphone 11) and my battery health went down by only 3% in the past 6 months, while just one year of 20w charging drained it from 95 or so to 80 in a year. i've been using a 5w again since last summer and it only went down 3% since august, so i'd say about 1% every 2 months whereas fast charging messed my shit up with 1% per month. it's worth a try in your case as well.

I know I know :( the amount of times I’d hear the other people I worked with get yelled at by angry customers was just absurd. I not once got yelled at in the 4 years I worked there. Like you said, it freaking Apple! Being nice to the customer and helping them as much as possible can only make your retail work/life easier.

Is that what happened to me?!

Went in for my ear speaker being so quiet I couldn’t hear a thing (old iPhone, but I have the same issue with my 11 pro max.)

I was with my two little girls, and had like an hour long wait. They were apologetic, because I had made an appointment. “No worries,” says I. I assumed I’d be waiting anyway. They got my number and I took my girls for a walk and to get some treats from the food court.

The text came in that I was ready to be seen. We go in, and they take my phone for a VERY long time. My girls were having fun playing around with the display iPads, and I was enjoying watching them. The guy helping me was so apologetic, but to be honest I was having a good day.

They eventually came out with a brand new phone for some kind of recall I never knew existed and couldn’t find online.

Use a separate password for financial apps that is not saved in iCloud Keychain.

Use Face ID or Touch ID.

If you have to enter a passcode in public to unlock your phone, look over your shoulder and hide what you enter.

Use a custom alphanumeric passcode to unlock you phone instead of a 4 or 6 digit PIN: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204060
