    At home, I work on my M1 MacBook Air connected in clamshell mode to my 23.7-inch LG UltraFine 4K Display, but I notice the battery usually charges to 100%, and remains charged while connected. However, I've been told that it's not ideal for battery life to work with the laptop plugged in all...

    iPhone 13 mini Downsizing to the 13 mini - would like to know the good and the bad

    I am seriously considering downsizing to the iPhone 13 mini this year. The reason is because I am using my mobile phone less for video content and lengthy web browsing. Instead it is being used for calls/texts/WhatsApp and the occasional quick email. My current phone is a brick-sized Samsung...

    Best practices for long battery life

    Hi everyone, I just received my new 14 inch Macbook Pro, after happily using a late 2013 MBP 15 inch for 8 years. Feels like I'm entering a new century with this machine, and happily skipped the touchbar generation. Regarding the battery life span I was wondering a few things. A friend of...

    I haven’t had my 13 Mini for that long, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to convince any “13 regular or Mini” fence-sitters that my Mini’s battery life has been awesome. I’m coming from an XR, which itself had phenomenal battery life by 2018 standards. I feel that the Mini is getting...

    These battery sizes are a significant increase for all models of the 12 and 12 Pro! Apple was not joking! I was struggling to decide between the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max since they are the same except for, display size, display resolution, and battery. The 13 Pro Max has a 39.9% larger battery...

    iPhone Optimized Wireless Battery Charging

    Hey everyone, I currently have an iPhone 11, and I've been using a fast charger with a Lightning cable since I got it. Optimized Battery Charging has been doing its thing as expected: I plug it in when I go to bed (say 2 am) and it generally finishes charging by 8:30 am. So far, so good. I...

    I thought you might all find this interesting. I did a test today where I charged my MacBook Pro M1 to 100%, then after disconnecting it I converted a bunch of videos using Handbreak (quite an intensive task). I left Handbreak converting videos until the battery was almost empty. It lasted more...

    Other Powering 'on' iPhone how often (for long term storage)?

    So I bought an old iPhone 5s to use while my SE was being repaired. Now that I have my SE back, I'm gonna put away the 5s until the next time I need a backup phone. That honestly might not be for a year or two. I've read it'll ruin the iPhone's battery if you leave it turned off for a couple of...
