    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...

    All iPads Leave iPad Air plugged in?

    I’ve never really known if I’m supposed to leave my iPad plugged in all the time, or if it’s better to let it drain to a certain point and then plug it in. What’s best for the battery? I’m using the latest iPad Air (late 2020). Thanks!

    iPad Pro With 2500 dimming zones on the iPad Pro, does this mean you can save on battery life in permanent dark mode?

    I was wondering if in the new 12.9 inch iPad pros and its 2500 dimming zones that can be lit independently of each other, do you think we can see an increase in battery life if we switch to dark mode all the time? It might make sense right that if we use less of the Mini LED to light up the...
