I've heard that if you're been using iOS across several phones in the past, and you restore data from a backup of your old phone each time, eventually the phone gets slower and battery life gets worse. Apparently just factory resetting helps a lot.

Not shilling for Apple, since it's ridiculous that this is even a problem, but if you have these problems, this might be worth a shot.

The new Macbooks have just 1 usb C port, and no other ports (except for the headphone jack).

Use bluetooth. MacBook trackpads are so good that you don't need mice btw. You wouldn't know that though. In before you claim they're bad without having used one.

OK OP, American working for a German company here. I know the US, I've been to Germany before, and I travel a lot.

First off, out of curiosity: What airport is this? I do not recognize the terminal.
Secondly: What airline did you fly, and what plane? Most Boeing 767/777 models have USB ports. You're German, so might I take a stab that you took a Lufthansa codeshare operated by United on an older, larger plane (namely, the Boeing 747) - maybe to Washington DC? Those planes don't provide inseat power, but have wifi and the entertainment is based on that. By the time you get to the US after a ten hour flight, your battery is depleted. Even if there were USB ports, if people used them non-stop to stream video from the wi-fi, older USB ports may provide power at less than an amp, meaning the devices will still discharge over time. Even if it wasn't united, the reasoning may be similar.

Secondly, you owe it to yourself to pick up a chinese battery pack when they go on sale on Amazon. In the US we can get 15000mah (1.5 times capacity of an iPad, roughly 5 full charges for most phones) batteries for $12.50 (10.99 EUR) shipped with no taxes (read: total price) when they're on sale. They're excellent for planes and airports.

Third: You should travel with a portable power strip like >>55223719
If you get one that is JUST a power strip - and doesn't actively surge protect - they are quite small, and will work with passive adapters. I used >>55223719 while in Germany since all of my phone chargers and laptop chargers were 100V-240V capable, I just plugged in a passive plug adapter (US -> German) where I got a dozen of them for less than $6. You could do the opposite (German -> US).

So Thunderbolt can be used for Display Port but not vice versa.

>yeah american people is weird
I don't understand this being American and having been to Germany, I was treated similarly (if not slightly more "coldly"/impersonally) in Germany vs normal treatment in the US. Travel related (hospital/rental car/airport) experiences were about the same.

>but americans tend just to ignore you, be rude or always want something
On planes themselves, especially on long flights from europe (or early morning) people are trying to sleep and not be jet lagged, or be minimal bother to other passengers. Having been on Lufthansa flights in the past, I would call the experience similar.

People buy shit to show the Jones' that they're well to do. I could have bought a Lincoln, I got a nicely trimmed ford with the same features instead and saved ~$10,000.

They're a potential attack vector, I never use the USB ports built into outlets, always regular power -> USB adapter -> cable -> device.

>>55222780
This is true, battery life kinda sucks on iPhones. Android devices do much better especially when the screen is off.

>>55222847
This is true as well, it takes half the convenience out of having the backup capability to begin with. Whenever I buy iPhones I just set them up new. Once a year or so I wipe them and repeat enterprise setup.

None of this happened on my Android devices in the past five years.

OP is German, and ostensibly is connecting at a US airport for a further US domestic destination after arriving from a flight that came from Germany.

Trust me - if I didn't have a USB port on the plane IFE screen (for one phone) and a 20000mah battery for my tablet/personal phone (in my backpack), all of my shit would have been dead on my last return home from Frankfurt to New York.
>>
As a person who travels with both a 20000mAh USB power bank AND a 6-port USB AC adapter, I find the premise of this thread amusing.

Be prepared, faggots, and you'll never have a problem. This can be solved with $30-50 and a footprint the size of a DS Lite.

I'm OK when I go through the Precheck lane, they usually remove some additional stuff at the regular lane if that's closed. In Germany and Canada they've basically torn my bag apart saying that all the electronic shit makes my bag impossible to read.

If the Lincoln cost $700 more, went 50% further on the same tank of gas, and had double the lifespan of the Ford, you bet your ass you'd buy the Lincoln.

That's where cars and laptops are different. Cars cost more because the interior is made out of more expensive (not necessarily better) shit, and because the car is a status symbol. Laptops cost more because of superior engineering that actually makes them better in quantifiable ways.

Software consultant. I'm young for it - just turned 26 recently, started doing it straight out of college.

>Also, in your opinion, is it better to have the things you would normally carry in your pockets in your bag? (phone, wallet, keys, etc)
Definitely for security, even with TSA Precheck. Walk through metal detectors have different calibration levels, and sometimes you'll be deferred for a body scan/pat down as a "random" thing (they basically program the metal detector to make an extra beep every 5-10% of the time). Having the shit in your bag makes the detector far less likely to trigger.

The phones are pretty easy, just make sure they're in a decently secured/padded location in case some screener mandhandles your bag (my iPhone 4S screen was cracked by a screener). If you don't want to divest your electronics to your bag, then the TSA has little bowls the size of a small plate you can put them in. Just make sure your pockets are empty. I wouldn't use the small bowls for a wallet - I prefer those are in my bag as most people won't steal an entire bag, a lone wallet in the open is more tempting.

Keys always go in the bag once I'm parked, not even in the airport. I have a clip in the front of my backpack for them so they won't fall out of my pocket somewhere away from home.

Unless you have Google Play Services constantly wakelocking in a bug (or some other app) then I can go a day without turning the screen on my phone once while leaving it on weak cell signal & wifi and only use 20% or less of my battery.

If Google Play Services is wakelocking - well, then that's a bug that's going to constantly be bringing the phone to a higher power state.

Not sure what you faggots are on about. When I had a Nexus 5, I would have to find somewhere to plug it in during day to keep it from dying if I forgot to charge it at night, while my iPhone lasts 3-4 days easy.

And on an airport layover last week (you know, to WWDC), I couldn't find a plug for my rMBP, but it still had 8 1/2 hours charge any way, so I didn't sweat it. It lasted through the whole 2 hour layover and 6 hour flight leg with no problem. My XPS 13, meanwhile, has never gotten more than 5 hours despite Dell's 'up to 18 hours' bullshit.

Maybe if you faggots bought Macs and iPhones, you wouldn't flop-sweat every time you didn't have an outlet.

They didn't intentionally shut it down. They were monitoring it to see how the station parts held up over time. They were going to bring it back into orbit to burn up over an ocean. They randomly lost communication with it.

You're a jackass. A 20000mAh battery is roughly the size of a small paperback. They don't care about them. It's overkill though. A 5-10000mAh battery would easily get you 18 hours of screen time on any phone or tablet.
