Let there be blood ! Not really <| sep |> So the solution I landed on was to return the battery case AUD $ 165 for full refund , get a leather case and a belkin lightning charge audio dongle . Sucks to carry another dongle but they weren ' t able to offer a better solution . They did swap the EarPods too but I had already tried other EarPods and got the same result . <| sep |> Woof , kk . Solid dude ! Best of luck . 3 rd year makes me want to be a doctor again unlike the first couple years . Don ' t worry about clinical grades if you ' re honest , hardworking , and not a dick , you ' ll be rewarded for your efforts . Hope you rock it ! <| sep |> Neither Iran or Russia are intimidated of Turkey , but it looks like a strong bait by Russia to draw Turkish troops into a hostile zone so NATO wouldn ' t be an issue . Turkey needs to think hard if they want to fight Iran , Russia , and Hezbollah .
