    iPhone SE (2016) Are 61 charging cycles and 95% battery health really bad for iPhone SE?

    Hi all, I got my iPhone SE around February and already has 95% batt health with 61 charging cycles and I was wondering whether this is normal or batt degradation is really bad. Thanks

    Yesterday I noticed that the battery health of my IPhone XS is at 97% already. When I checked the battery health just a little over a week ago my battery health still was at 100%. Is this even normal? I have my IPhone XS since launch day. I’m on also on IOS version 12.01 right now. Even though...

    What is your MacBook battery's cycle count, and how long have you owned the device? Post it down below. (Bonus points: the battery health as a percentage!) I'm curious!

    iPhone iOS 11.3 iPhone 6 Poor Performance

    I was hoping that after the introduction of iOS 11.3, that the new Battery Health feature would improve performance on my iPhone 6 ... But it doesn't ! My battery is apparently 100% ok, but the phone performance slows down drastically the lower the battery level. I thought Apple had fixed this...

    Battery Health / Capacity Question (150 Cycles - 2015 MacBook Air)

    Was curious what others are seeing as far as battery health / capacity is concerned with similar aged machines. For roughly ~150 cycles I feel like the health on my battery (86%) has deteriorated a bit more than it should have. See the screenshot attached. If you can share what you all are...

    13" TB MBP Battery Health dropping

    Hi all. My 13" TB MBP started live (according to Coconut Battery) at about 104% Battery Health, as they all seem to. Now, though, after 19 charges, it's dropped quite considerably, alternating for the last couple of days between 98.3% and 99.1%. I realise that battery health isn't a precise...

    Battery life on 15" MBP

    I'll start with a disclaimer that I'm not normally one to obsessively check battery health, if at all, though it seems I've been getting pretty good life from my old slugger of a laptop. She's a 2012 15" cMBP, purring with maxed RAM and a Samsung EVO. Yeah I've got Retina screen envy and I'd...

    TIME SINCE LAST FULL CHARGE New insight about Apple's Battery Algorithm In iOS 10.2 Dev/Public Beta 1, TIME SINCE LAST FULL CHARGE populated at 90%. Next 10% is actually not required or its the reserved charge? If its not required, then why there's still the capacity to be charged? If its...

    iPod touch What's the total battery life of an IpT5?

    I've been using my IpT5 for over 3 years now. Of course, the battery life's waned significantly, but I can still get in a good 1 to 2.5 hours gaming (never actually tried that long though) before the battery meter goes red. Anybody know how much longer I have until it becomes "unusable" (ie...
