Quick Start Guide

Getting Started with an iPhone/iPad

Plug the iXCharger’s AC plug into a power outlet. Use a charging cable with a USB-C connection on one side and a Lightning or USB-C on the other side that corresponds to the device you will plug into. It’s suggested to use an Apple MFi certified charging cable to avoid any charging failures. Connect the USB-C end into the iXCharger’s USB-C port and the other end (Lightning or USB-C) into the connection port for an iPhone or iPad (refer to the image below).

*When using a USB-C cable that is rated as USB 2.0, you will not be able to achieve the highest data transfer speeds, as you would with a USB 3.0 version.
**In order to achieve power beyond 60W, the USB-C cable must be embedded with an E-Marker Chip. Check the cable specs to confirm.

Download APP

If this is the first time connecting your iPhone/iPad with an iXCharger, the system will prompt a message requesting you to download the iXCharger App. Please select the “App Store” to download the required App. If you do not see the prompted message, please go to the Apple App Store and search “iXCharger” to download.

Can I use the iXCharger as both iPhone storage and a Time Machine backup drive?

Yes! The iXCharger can be set up with two partitions, allowing you to use it simultaneously as iPhone backup storage and as a Time Machine drive.

Here’s how to set it up:

Open Disk Utility on your Mac (under Applications → Utilities).
Go to “View” → “Show All Devices” and select the iXCharger’s physical device.
Click “Erase” and choose “GUID Partition Map” as the scheme and “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” as the format.
Next, click “Partition” and use the plus (+) button to add a second partition, then set your desired size for each partition.
Format the new partition as “ExFAT” for iPhone use.
Finally, go to System Settings → General → Time Machine and select the appropriate partition as your backup destination.

Please note: Setting up the partitions will erase all data on the iXCharger. Be sure to back up any existing data beforehand.

FAQ

Does the iXCharger work without the app?

Yes. You can use the iXCharger like a regular charger – no app required. However, the free iXCharger app (available on the Apple App Store) is needed to access backup and storage features.

Which devices are compatible with the iXCharger?

The iXCharger is designed for Apple devices but also works with Android, Windows, and Linux devices. It can be used universally as a charger and for accessing the connected USB-C storage. The backup feature via the iXCharger app is currently available for iOS and Android. On Windows, macOS and Linux, it can be used as external USB storage.

How does the automatic backup work?

Once you connect your iOS or Android device to the iXCharger, the backup of photos, videos and contacts to the connected USB-C storage starts automatically – after a one-time setup.

Do I need to buy storage separately?

No. The iXCharger comes with built-in storage of up to 1 TB – depending on the model. So there’s no need for an additional storage device for backups or data transfers. Please note: the storage is not expandable!

Can I use the iXCharger on the go?

Yes. The iXCharger is compact, travel-friendly, and ready for worldwide use. It features a built-in US plug that also serves as the base for the included EU or UK adapter (depending on the model). This makes it easy to use the iXCharger in different countries – perfect for travel.

What happens when the storage is full?

The app will notify you when storage space is running low. You can then either transfer data to another drive or use a new USB-C storage device.

What should I do if the iXCharger app doesn’t open automatically or backup isn’t working?

In most cases, this happens because the iXCharger app hasn’t been downloaded yet. Simply open the Apple App Store, search for “iXCharger” and download the app. Once installed, it should be automatically recognised, and the backup function will work as intended.

Why can’t I open my backed-up iPhone photos and videos on a Windows PC?

iPhones save photos in the HEIC format, which is often not supported by Windows computers without additional software. To ensure your backed-up photos display correctly on Windows, the iXflash app offers automatic conversion to JPG during backup. You can easily enable this feature in the app settings..

Videos are saved in the HEVC (H.265) format used by iPhones. Since Windows Media Player doesn’t support this standard, we recommend using a compatible player such as VLC or KM Player. These programs can play HEVC videos without any issues.
