    Al Dente for a student?

    Hey everyone, I’m going to get a Macbook soon. Since this is my first Mac machine I’ve been doing some research, and as if there weren’t enough things to be aware of I found out about Battery Cycles ;) Now I’ve been doing some research about the topic and found out that quite a handful of people...

    DIY power adapter ok for Tiger, not for Leopard

    I recently detailed (in another thread) how I’d made a power supply for my Pismo using a stereo plug, an RCA plug, and an old Dell powerbrick. It’s still working fine, however when I installed Leopard on another partition the other day I noticed that there was an “x” in the battery icon and...

    iPad Fast Charger (wired or portable) for ipad pro

    My wife does graphic design on her ipad pro and it frequently runs out of power. There's nothing wrong with battery it's just that she uses a lot of procreate on it and it sucks the battery dry. I'm looking for a fast-charger of some sorts that'll get her back up and running with minimal wait...

    iPad Pro Please Help! Home App Draining Battery

    Hi Everyone, I know this has been looked at before but I can’t make this stop. It’s really frustrating and is ruining my enjoyment of the device. If I charge the iPad to 100% guaranteed by the end of the day if I haven’t touched it it’ll be down at 20%. I have the new M4 iPad Pro. It’s the...

    Does anyone else wish there was something between the Apple Watch and Ultra?

    I've worn an Apple Watch since 2018, got it for running and daily use. Started with the Series 4 (Space Grey), and then started running full marathons...the battery was in bad shape after a few years so I then got a Series 8 (Silver) in 2022. I loved it, but after WatchOS10...the battery took...

    Other What Battery Charging % Limit is everyone using?

    Hey everyone! I’m curious to know what battery charge limit settings you all are using. I recently upgraded from a 14PM and didn’t realize these options (like checking battery cycles) were available. Since I have a desk job, my phone is almost always plugged in during the week, and I really...

    iOS 18 does not let me charge iPhone 13PM past 80% with Optimized Battery Charging on.

    There’s a bug in iOS 18 and my iPhone 13 pro max that when I leave my phone to charge overnight with Optimized Battery Charging on, it only charges to 80% by morning. The problem is that it stays like this indefinitely, and I can’t get it to charge past 80% at my location. Back in iOS 17, my...

    Out of warranty battery replacement at higher than 80%?

    What is Apple’s policy on replacing batteries out of warranty before they show an alert in the menu bar? I was told by AppleCare over the phone (twice) that if I’m paying out of pocket they will replace a degraded battery even if it’s not down to 80% yet and showing the warning. Mine is at 84%...

    I'm going on vacation in a few months and I want to take some nice photos and I'm noticing blurryness and glare from my camera lenses on my iPhone 12 Pro. I know the jump will be massive and my battery currently is at 81% total health so it dies frequently should I upgrade or just replace the...

    Largest Genuine Apple Charger iPhone Pro Max ?

    Hi, I am looking to purchase a genuine Apple charger that is the fastest possible option. I had been using my 140W MBP USB-C to Lighting but I’m almost certain that it is causing the battery health to rapidly decrease. I like the fast charge I get from it but not if it’s going to damage my...

    Help with Battery - Mac Air early 2015

    Ok so I'll start this by saying I know nothing about Mac or Apple as a whole so your advice would really come in handy. I've had this early 2015 Mac Air and started using it in 2020, almost every day. Until a month ago I knew nothing about battery cycles and only when I saw, 3 weeks ago, that my...

    I recently changed the battery on my iPhone XS and the battery is dropping 1% every 1 minute and 43 seconds while I'm on the phone. Is this good or is the battery faulty?

    15" MBP Mid 2014 repeat rebooting on power after battery change

    For a few years the battery on my MacBook Pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014, model number A1398, OS Catalina 10.15.7) showed as 100% full and needing a service - but it wouldn't run at all without a power connection. The battery wasn't at all bloated. I recently replaced the battery - the new...

    iPad Pro New 2024 uses a lot battery power if not used.

    iPad Pro M4 iPad Pro + Pencil Pro = <2 hours battery life (and other issues)

    I'm hoping that I'm not the only one having these issues with my 4-day-old iPad Pro. The issues seem to be exclusively confined to the Pencil Pro - the device becomes very (and I mean very - to the point it almost becomes uncomfortable to hold) hot after as little as 10 minutes of Pencil use...
