    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 😂

    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...

    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.

    iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 mini battery life: is this normal?

    I got my iPhone 12 mini back in November, and in general after using it for a few months have been very happy with the smaller form factor. Of course, I knew beforehand that battery life would be inferior compared to the other iPhone 12 models, but figured that -- as a very light user (and...
