    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...

    I bought less than 1 year 12 mini, but It's 83% battery performance now. even my old iphone se 1 is still 80%. The problem is that apple support only fixes the problem less than 80%. Does anyone have a similar issue?

    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...

    Aluminium PowerBook G4 15"—borked battery information

    14" MBP battery already dropped to 99%

    It's only got 21 cycles on it and 2 of them were already there when I got it. Coconut battery fluctuates between 95 and 97 but the system report now shows 99%. How could a brand new laptop battery drop that quickly with only 21 cycles? Anyone else seeing this?
