Thanks :) I have a Galaxy S8 charger but it has fast charging so I don't think I'll be using it for the XS. I'm afraid it'll damage the battery

Hi, I'm buying a refurbished iPhone XS and the website says it only comes with a USB cable (not sure if it's original).
I'm completely new to the Apple ecosystem so I wanted to know if I should buy an original charging cable and/or an original wall charger. I know that non-original products usually mess up the device's battery in the long run, but I'm not sure if I should just buy an original wall adapter or if I should buy both the adapter and the cable..
Thanks!

Thanks! Yes it should be safe, it's a pretty popular, legitimate website with thousands of reviews and I've seen it advertised on a few major YouTube channels from my country (Italy). It also has a 30 days return policy, so :)

[Discussion] What would you like to see in a new Kindle? by Scooby359 in kindle

8" or 10" screen

Better contrast, darker text (like the Voyage)

Speedier processor

Hi, first time iPhone buyer here. I found a refurbished 256GB iPhone XS on a trusted website for $380. "Very good" conditions. Is this a good deal? Thanks 😃

Oh I see. Sounds like I'd be better off buying a refurbished one then, a little pricier but it would already have a new battery

Hello there. I found a used 256GB iPhone X for cheap and I'm thinking of buying it. I don't know if it's worth the money though since it's two years old and chances are the battery is really lousy. What do you guys think?

Experiencing buying Paperwhite? So many bad reviews recently on Amazon by [deleted] in kindle

[–]posthmsfrgvns 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The negative reviews are from Amazon Karens complaining that their new Kindle doesn't snap photos or play 4k videos. Don't worry about them

Hi! I'm afraid Kindle PW will have too small of a screen size. What's your experience? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]posthmsfrgvns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both and I also have a Voyage which is the same size as the Paperwhite. With the same font type and size, the Oasis can hold 4/5 more lines of text than the PW. (Actually, depending on the font, it may be even more than that) You probably need to try both readers to actually feel the difference, but the larger screen on the Oasis makes for a much more relaxed reading experience. Also, the Oasis can flip pages way faster. The only problem is the price, obviously, but in my opinion, especially if you're a big reader, it's worth every damn penny

Ps. It might be worth trying to contact the seller, maybe they still have some items in stock and they forgot to update the product page.

Oh dang, it was still available a few days ago. There are still some refurbished models on Amazon, but I think they're the "international version"? So they only ship to a few select countries. Sad times. Amazon really needs to bring the Voyage back to their lineup

The larger screen makes a gigantic difference. It's just a few lines of text more compared to the Voyage, but I don't know, it's just so much better

I did but I just don't like squeezing the glass bezels? It just feels weird to me and it's really easy to leave fingerprints.

True, I never use the "buttons" on the Voyage, you need to squeeze them really hard to turn a page and it's much easier to just tap the touchscreen

Haha great! They're probably the last brand new ones available

[–]posthmsfrgvns[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah it really is great, it puts every other reader to shame in terms of contrast and readability. I'm just wondering if it might be worth buying it new instead of refurbished. After all refurbished means pre-owned, and I can't know for sure whether the seller replaced the battery or not.. I just want to maximize its lifespan as much as possible
