Review on Nekteck Waterproof Portable Efficiency Compatible by Austin Hill

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but doesn't charge iStuff directly

When an iPhone 6S drained from 78% to 28% in two hours, the iPhone complained that the device was not compatible. Perhaps iStuff is unduly picky as the iPhone didn't complain until it dropped to <30%. I purchased this item after doing some research after looking for a solar charger for iPhone 6S. Update: Both the iPhone 6S, iPad A1822 and iPhone 4S refused to connect to this thing, choosing not to be compatible. This happened when using the Apple cables that came with the devices, as well as some additional Apple-certified cables purchased from Apple itself. I ended up having to buy power adapters, which will charge the thing in direct sunlight, albeit a little slowly. Customer service is great ⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️ if a bit annoying. They sent an extra solar charger for free. This one works just like the first one - it's not compatible with any of my iStuffs whether I use Apple cables or not, but it charges all four of my power banks at a very similar rate without much rush, which I can say more or less because they all have digital displays (without that flashing 4 dot nonsense). So a clear plus +++ for the consistency and that they really work. BUT: The whole point was that I didn't want to buy or carry extra things like power banks. That's more than fifty dollars and another pound plus takeout; it adds up.
