This past Monday, April 22 was Earth Day, but for Vinpower, we are focused every day on how we can lower our carbon footprint and develop products that follow the ESG directives many forward thinking companies have put in place. That is one of the key reasons Vinpower developed the multi-purpose compact iXCharger. As we are all aware, every electronic mobile phone, tablet, or computer requires two critical components; a method to power the device and a way to store digital content to be used on that device. Often the memory installed on the device is not sufficient, so we have to purchase additional memory in the form of an external hard drive/SSD, USB drive, SD Card, etc., and we will carry multiple power cube chargers so that we have a specialize one for each device.

That’s a lot of extra products and plastic that could end up in our landfills, oceans, neighborhoods, creating an environmental, social, and governance nightmare. With the iXCharger, you have a single charger and extra memory storage that can replace all the charging cubes and external memory devices for all your portable mobile devices. The iXCharger works across all platforms, from Apple iOS and MacBooks to Android, as well as Windows and other mobile PC based operating systems. Plus, the iXCharger’s enhanced GaN charging technology and extremely compact design means it produces less heat and uses far less plastic than traditional higher capacity charging cubes and external memory devices.

Vinpower has always cared about the planet and the legacy we leave to those that come after us and the iXCharger is a testament to that vision.

Every once in a while, we like to take the opportunity to redirect these weekly email blasts from promotional to educational. As we explore and pick up interesting tidbits, we like to share them with you all. In this case, a co-worker went to a museum offering an exhibit on sound and snapped an interesting picture on the history of recorded sound. Having grown up in a time where there was always amplified sound coming from virtually everything we interacted with, radio, TV, movies, records, tapes, even video games, I never knew a life without it. But the advent of a medium to record and rebroadcast sounds was only invented in the late 1800’s. Imagine never being able to hear music unless you went to a live performance or the only way you could receive information was through writings or telegraph. I don’t know about you, but sound permeates our house constantly, from listening to podcasts or music while getting ready in the morning to my kids glued to their screens watching the latest videos on YouTube or TikTok.

This brings me to the point that audio recordings are a staple in the lives or those that can hear them, and even to those that can’t through the soundwaves vibrations. Because these audio recordings can stir up a magnitude of emotions, understandings, and teachings, it’s important to know that whichever medium you store these recordings on, they will be available for you whenever you want them. That’s why Vinpower offers a bevvy or devices that allow you to capture and save those recordings for many many years into the future. Whether it’s a classic CD, flash and SSD memory, or through some type of digital audio player, like an iPhone or laptop, Vinpower has a high quality hi-fidelity method to help you record, store, and enjoy that content for years to come.

There’s been so much positive buzz around the 65W iXCharger, we are already looking at its next evolution. How can we improve on a device that will revolutionize the portable charging and storage industry? Make it more powerful, with more memory, and allow it to charge two devices at the same time! The next version of the iXCharger will be a 100W model that offers two USB-C connections and up to 2TB of data storage memory. The iXCharger 100W will be able to either allocate up to 100W of power to a single device or charge 2 separate devices at the same time. Yet, it will still provide access to its internal storage memory, up to an incredible 2TB, across virtually any portable computing platform, including laptop computers (PC, Mac, and Chromebook), as well as smartphones and tablets (Apple iOS iPhone/iPad and Android) for the ultimate combination of power and storage.

We anticipate the 100W 2 USB-C port iXCharger will be available in Q3 or Q4 2024 and is actively being created at this time. Start out with the iXCharger 65W and then move up to the 100W 2 USB-C model if needed or you just want more power, memory, and charging capabilities.

The iXflash USB 3.2 Gen 1 dual Type C & A drive, with capacities from 32GB up to 2TB, recently, became the first in the world to receive an Apple MFi certification when not incorporating a Lightning connection. Until this point, only flash storage devices that contained a Lightning connection could receive the coveted MFi certification from Apple. Yet, with Apple switching to the Universal USB Type C connection, Vinpower felt it was important to develop a dual head USB Type C and Type A flash drive that can work with USB-C connected Apple devices as well as virtually all other mobile phones, tablets, and computers.

With Vinpower securing a MFi certification from Apple for its Piodata iXflash USB C and A drive, that allows it to have full access to creating an Apple App that can be utilized across all iPhones and iPads that have a USB C connection. Utilizing the App allows the iXflash to backup critical content, like photos and videos, contacts, and more. The iXflash App can open and modify files stored on the iXflash drive, through an iPhone or iPad, as well as take photos and videos with an iPhone or iPad that feed directly to the iXflash memory storage, without being limited to only the Apple Pro Res format.

Even though the latest Apple iPhone 15 series comes with a USB Type C connection, it’s extremely limited in the actions a standard USB Type C drive can access without the MFi certification. In fact, users can only access the Files App and allow direct recording to a USB C connected flash or SSD drive through the Pro Res video recording operation. Other than that, a non-MFi certified USB C drive cannot access the Photos App, or any other application that would be extremely useful and necessary for backups and sharing content.

With the iXflash USB C and A drive, it allows Vinpower to become the first truly universal flash drive that can fully integrate with the latest iPhone and iPad as well as work with virtually every computing platform on the market today and in the future. With the explosion of content being stored on all of our computing platforms, it’s critical to have a device that can fully interact with all of them to access that content anywhere, anytime, from any device.

It’s being reported that Disney is in the process of transitioning its physical home entertainment business to a licensing model. The studio will start with a licensing agreement with Sony, which will see Sony handle marketing, selling, and distributing physical media (4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, etc.) of any new Disney releases and older catalog titles to consumers via retailers and distributors in the U.S. and Canada1. That sounds scary for those of us still dedicated to physical media, like another death nail in the coffin of optical discs. But in reality, it’s simply a financial decision to outsource the licensing rights for production of the Disney titles to a 3rd party. Ultimately, everyone will still be able to buy the Disney movie titles they want, it will just be made and distributed by another company. Ultimately, we’ll all still be able to purchase the Blu-ray version of Toy Story, or Monsters, Inc., and as a consumer, we won’t notice any difference.

But, there’s still a caveat that as production of content becomes consolidated, the determination as to what content is produced will now be a numbers game and not because the content creator wants to continue the brand. Especially when one company is paying a licensing fee for the rights to produce that content. That means if you have a favorite movie or movies that are not mainstream enough, and you don’t already own a DVD or Blu-ray copy, there may come a time where that title will be very difficult or expensive to obtain and view, if at all. So, it’s important to always get a copy of those favorite movies to keep on hand, so you’ll always have it available when you want it.

Don’t leave it to the discretion of big corporations, get your own copies of the movies you want. Otherwise, it may no longer be an option.

For those of you that visited Vinpower’s booth during the 2024 APEC tradeshow in Long Beach, CA, we thank you and look forward to following up on our discussions. The multiple award winning iXCharger, which is the first of its kind 65W 1.5TB charging storage cube, created tremendous buzz, even among a crown dedicated to power. We anticipate the iXCharger 65W will be available for sales in late March or early April 2024. which we look forward to the larger 100W and 140W versions, which will come with 2 USB C connections, will follow suit in the near future. For those that would like more details about the iXCharger, please reply to this email and we will be happy to get follow up with you.

Those that were able to view the full line of upcoming iXCharger versions were quite impressed that such a novel concept of combining a power charger and a hard drive hadn’t entered the market sooner, but agreed this is a necessary product now and going forward. Given the accolades and praise we are receiving for the iXCharger concept, this will be a very hot item when it’s released for sale and we encourage those looking to adopt a similar functionality to their product line to contact us for more details.

It finally happened to me. I was at an event taking lots of photos and videos and low and behold, I got the dreaded “iPhone Storage Full” notification. Generally when something like that happens, you have 2 options, of which neither is preferable: stop taking pictures or frantically find items you can delete to give you more storage space. However, in my case, I was fortunate that I had my iXflash with me. I simply plugged it in, opened the iXflash App, selected the photo feature, and kept on taking pictures and videos with no worries because they all went directly to the iXflash drive and didn’t use any memory from my full storage iPhone. I didn’t have to miss any moments that I wanted to capture and I didn’t have to sacrifice any stored content on my iPhone to get it.

This is just one of the great advantages the iXflash offers. Take into account the iPhone photo/video backup and restore options; ability to transfer content between an iPhone/iPad and any type of computer; movie and music playback, read only, and much more. Don’t miss out, get an iXflash today!
