    iPad Pro Is it worth replacing the battery in my 10.5in IPP?

    The battery on my cellular 10.5in IPP is in pretty rough shape: I have to charge it almost every other day with very light use (less than 1.5hr screen time) / cellular off. I love the device and was trying to hold out until mini-led comes to the 11in iPP considering I have the smart keyboard and...

    iPad Pro Battery when not in use, on iPad Pro

    When the iPad Pro 11' (2019) is not in use, should the battery still drain, drastically? The unit is not off, but, I feel if I have not used the unit for a few days (despite leaving the device with at least 75-85% battery), when I return to it, the device is sometimes in the 20-25% range, on...

    Battery "drain" on ios 15.0.1

    Hi All! I am new to the "i" world. So I bought my first ever iPhone, which is iPhone 13 Max Pro. After receiving the phone and doing the initial update, the battery life has been just amazing. I was stupid enough to update to 15.0.1, and now I see a steady decline in the battery even if the...

    iOS 15.0 with the BEST BATTERY LIFE

    I have an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and after getting them both on launch day, I realized the battery life kinda sucked! Especially bad on the iPhone 13 Pro with its atrocious standby time (and it is even bad in airplane mode, around 8% drain overnight doing nothing). IPadOS 15 and...

    iPhone 13 mini I was worried about battery life switching to 13 Mini from 12PM… Now I’m not..

    Switching this year from the 12PM to the 13 Mini due to preferring the size after a hands on with the 12 Mini I was initially concerned about a massive hit in battery life. It seems the 13 Mini battery life is well on its way to being as good as the 12PM anyway 😂

    WatchOS8 "Usage" stats

It also displayed hours since last charge and a metric for how much time the watch was used. Has this information been relocated? I...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max All Official iPhone 13 Battery Sizes!!!

    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 12 Pro Max iPhone 12 Pro Max Rapidly Degrading Battery.

    I know that this topic over the 12 series poor batteries has been talked about a lot, with some having no issues at all and their battery health near a 100% almost a year after, while others, which sadly include 2 very expensive 12 Pros in my family, claim to have a piss-poor battery which is...

    iPhone XR iPhone xr 98% after 368 cycle counts

    Hey everyone! So i just bought an iPhone xr with 98% and 368 cycles, I found it kind of strange because apple says that "A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles", so normally in my case it should be below 90%. I wanna know if it's...

    2015 MacBook Pro battery replacement—will they replace the top case too?

    I’m sending my 13” 2015 MacBook Pro in for a battery replacement. Does Apple Service Center swap out the entire top case on this model?

Most of the time, however, I unplug it at 96% and the phone rests unplugged overnight. I am not a heavy user and when I get home in the evening, it is...

    iPad iPad doesn’t show right battery %

    It bothers me a lot. I charge my IPP mini-led for let’s say 20 minutes, and when I pick it up it displays the same amount of battery %. Sometimes I restart it and it shows more %, sometimes it doesn’t. Any clue? Thanks in advance.
