    Is Apple Manipulating Battery Health?

    I have seen mention of this topic on iPhones, but I wonder if the battery health figure is reliable on the Watch. My S4 (used almost daily for close to four years) has seen a slow but steady decline in battery health but stayed at a constant 87% since the last watchOS update (os 8). However...

    iPhone XS gets warm/hot

    Hey guys I bought an iPhone XS in early 2020 and I'm happy with it overall until the last couple of months. I always used a clear hard case for it so I never noticed this but one time I had an accident and the phone dropped shattering the screen. I replaced the screen but the provider said that...

    PSA: Do NOT buy NinjaBatt branded batteries: random shutdowns & no safe sleep

    I purchased a A1618 battery for my 2015 15 MBP and it was a nightmare from day one. Once installed, the computer would shut down at random percentages even after multiple battery calibrations and SMC/PRAM resets it still acts up. Even when installed in a MPB with an iGPU only it still shuts down...

    iPhone 11 Pro Max - stopped charging due to heat

    After three mostly glorious years, my iPhone 11 Pro Max - in the same case, on the same wireless charger (or wired in car using CarPlay) has stopped charging due to heat. Anyone else? No new apps; I don't have social apps running in background - only real battery/power draw is phone (not when...

    M1 Pro/Max battery life – what's your experience in 16in?

    I realise this is a hot-button topic for a while. While there's clearly a battery life difference for 16in between M1 Pro and M1 Max, I read wildly different estimates for how much when it comes to casual use (e.g. when at a coffee shop browsing and writing docs, rather than transcoding 8K...

    Is this a normal iPhone SE (2nd generation 2020) battery life?

    I have been using this phone for a year or so, got it because of wearing too much mask at some point. Now that the pandemic is starting to wind down, I am thinking to switch back to a FaceID phone which is either an iPhone 13 or 14. During the pandemic I worked from home so I didn't really mind...

    2019 MB Pro Battery

    Until a few weeks ago, the MB Pro was almost always on a desk with an external monitor and power cord attached. More recently, I have used it on battery power. I'm surprised at how quickly the battery charge seems to get low when I'm usually just checking email and on the internet (very little...

    2019 16 inch MBP battery drain in 2 days during sleep

    I'm not sure what the exact day is when the battery died but I closed the lid on my computer for like a day I'm estimating and I still have mostly full charge. But then I leave the lid closed for 2-3 days and when I wake the computer, the battery is completely empty. It's drained to the point...

    M1 Macbook Air battery health dropping rapidly

    My M1 MBA about 11 months old now and I love it. However, I've recently noticed the battery health is rapidly starting to drop. It's dropped a 3% in the last two weeks, so it's at 97%. But that's only what system report tells me. Coconutbattery tells a different story, with the battery being at...

    Battery on iOS 16 beta Public 2 on Brand new iPhone 13 Pro

    Hey I’ve charged my phone last night until 100%, I took off the charger before I went to sleep. I get up at 6:30am and use my phone until midday, when it has 60% battery. Actual use I can say it was like 1-2 hour max, because this is my work time. I keep Wi-Fi and data on. Is this how the...

    14" M1 Pro battery dead/dying?

    I'm not sure what just happened to my mac's battery, and I can't find anybody else who's faced this issue. I woke up this morning to find my mac, 14", M1 Pro, the base model with 8 GPU cores, dead. This was weird because I'd charged it to full yesterday, and when I went to bed it was still at...

    After three months using a magsafe battery pack for some hours almost every day, my iPhone 13 Pro battery has suddenly went down from 100% to 96%. Does magsafe charging really affect battery life this much?

    Opinion with a recent buy - MBA

    Hello! I’ve just bought a second handed M1 MBA, and I’m loving it. It replaced my old 2013 MBA, and the difference is astonishing. Nonetheless, the Mac came with 92% battery health (58 cycles). Should I worry with this? It seemed a great deal (for less than 800 euros), but I would like your...

    S4 freezes after an Indoor Workout

    Hi! Long time lurker/reader here, but first time poster :) Recently I've been experiencing a weird S4 watch issue and was wondering if anyone had the same issue or know of any potential solutions.
