    iPad Pro 2020 iPad Pro home app taking up all of the battery

    Has anyone experienced this and if so does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix? After upgrading to iOS 15 my 2020 11" iPad Pro has absolutely horrible battery life.

    iPhone 13 Pro A smaller iPhone

    Currently, I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max. In all honesty, do I need a phone this large? Missing the days of using a phone with one hand. Curious, has anyone here gone from an iPhone 12 Pro Max, to an iPhone 13 Pro? Looking forward to your feedback...

    iPad Find My Battery Drain

    Apologies if this has already been posted but I am really frustrated by how quickly my iPad Mini drains. I don’t know if it’s just me but I found that the iPad standby time has really gone down over the last couple of years. When I look at the battery statistics, Find My is the biggest drainer...

    I've had my 16" Macbook Pro M1 Max for about two months now and just started using an external monitor that connects via USB-C and also charges while connected. Prior to using the external monitor, I would just use the Macbook without the charger until it's about to die. But now that I'm...

    When does Apple replace iPhone batteries for free?

    On Apple’s website, it says “If your iPhone is covered by warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law, we'll replace your battery at no charge.”.

    iPad Marketplace Question

    Found someone selling a iPad Air Gen 3 iPad on FB Marketplace. He tells me the device is unopened and still sealed and pictures provided seem to be true to this end. He is asking only $350, which seems reasonable, however, I’m a bit leery due to potential battery issues. As this device is going...

    Replace battery with one from an older model

    I have a 2017 MacBook air (A1466) with a dead battery, and an older model (A1369). When I Google the battery replacement component for each model they seem to be compatible with each other. Can I just use my old battery in the new one instead of buying a whole new component? Thanks, Vinje

    MBP 2015 battery drops from 50% to 0%?

    I recently bought a 2015 MBP from a private seller. The battery says it only has 4 cycles which leads me to believe they put a new battery in before selling it (I vaguely remember them saying something about this): It's been running fine (mostly in clamshell mode/plugged into power) but today...
