Here's another question, do you lock your phone? Do you have a case?

Apparently I am a psycho as mine is unlocked (it locks after 8 hours, I think?) and no case. It's an iPhone 12, so I've had it like that for a good 4+ years.

I have to lock mine as work pays for it and it's required. I have a case - Otterbox heavy duty thing.

Locked in 1m, case

I guess mine doesn't lock automatically. I have an inobtrusive plastic case, which has done the job of preventing screen damage in my many, many drops.

Auto lock with case.
I also have the habit of manually pushing the power button whenever I put the phone down. So in practice, my phone locks most of the time because I manually pushed the power button.

Mine locks after a certain period of time (not sure what the time length is). Also has a case. Feels too skinny with out one.

Screenlock is of wife when fiancé in 1990

I started using leather wallet cases about five years ago, which protect better and hold credit cards.
Autolock in 1 minute; like Ax I switch off power myself.

I got a Samsung galaxy 10note+ and use the note function almost daily.

Doesn’t the leather wallet case mean you can’t charge with MagSafe?

AndyD

Don't know

I started using leather wallet cases about five years ago, which protect better and hold credit cards.

I always thought smart phones in close contact with credit cards would neutralize/demagnetize the cards. Has the technology changed so that doesn’t occur any longer?

Axtremus

Increasingly, credit cards use microchips rather than magnetic strips to communicate to the card readers. Demagnetization is not much of a concern for credit cards if you don’t use the magnetic strips anymore.

AndyD

My cards are not affected.

Those charging pads work but are slow compared to a dedicated plug in wire, or usb wire-in which we have on our sockets (my wife informs me)
