    iPhone 17 Pro Battery Health and Longevity better with larger size?

    This might be a dumb or obvious question. I've had a Pro, returned it for the 17. I think the 17 is excellent for the value. But the only thing that has me a little hesitant on sticking with it for a few years (vs. the Pro) is the battery size. The 17 Pro's battery is massive given the...

    New anti consumer design? - Battery Usage

    So. Stone me for calling it what I did. But only if you can tell me 1. why we needed a completely new design for the battery usage pane in Settings and 2. how it is actually meaningfully better than before. I admit the previous pane wasn’t too helpful either, especially when it was buggy and...

    Ultra 3 Battery Life = Only 24 hours?

    With the original Apple Watch Ultra and my combination of settings (I don't use alwys-on display, for example), I only needed to charge the watch once every 3 days. Nearly a week in to the Apple Watch Ultra 3, with all the same battery-saving settings in play, and I'm getting reminders to...

    iPhone 16 Pro Battery Life Now TERRIBLE with iOS 26

    Has anybody else with an iPhone 16 Pro noticed that battery life is terrible since updating to iOS 26. The battery drains so fast now. I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 on the first day that the software was available. So it's been well over a week. This can't be the new normal in terms of...

    Better battery usage

    For at least a month now, I have noticed my iPhone 15 Pro doesn't use as much battery power despite using it all day. At the end of the workday, I have much more battery left. Did a recent update fix a battery-wasting bug?

    [HELP] Mid-2012 Macbook Pro only turns on plugged and instantly shuts down if it's removed.

    For the past 3 or so months I've left my MacbookPro9,2 plugged in and unused as I've gotten better machines to work with. Something came up today though and I need this Mac to work again temporarily, which is when I discover that the battery in this thing doesn't really want to work anymore as...

    The amazing battery life on iOS 18.4.1

    Has anybody else been noticing this? Just amazed by the battery life on iOS 18.4.1. For context, I have a iPhone SE from October 2020. The battery life on this has never been as good as the other iPhones, and it has of course gone down over the years. But before this update, I was charging...

    Resolved Charging is paused because overheated battery-SOLVED

    Hi Guys Is it normal that charging is paused due to an overheated battery in my 2015 15" MacBook Pro? The battery was replaced with an OEM (but non-Apple) battery from SMP. Has anyone experienced this issue with the original Apple battery as well?

    Stock charger not adequate?

    I've been wondering if the 30W charger that comes with the MacBook Air M3 is actually sufficient. Under normal use, it seems fine, but what about when the laptop is under heavy load? Could it start discharging even while plugged in if I'm doing something intensive like video editing, coding my...

    Pits the 16e against other large flagships (including 16 Pro Max). Shows heat measurements, along with a calculated result if they all had the same size battery. 16e didn't win the whole test (though it did well), but did maintain the coolest peak temp, and did have the lowest mAh per minute...

    2018 version i7 MacBook Pro has gone kaput

    My 2018 version i7 MacBook Pro has gone kaput. It's not even turning on and the Maple guy says the entire panel has to be replaced which would cost Rs 83,000 ($1000) so I've decide not to repair it for now because he says that the data won't be recoverable. I had the battery changed 3 months...
