    Real Life Battery Consumption - M1 MacBooks

    Hello everyone, I decided to open this thread because I'm having battery issues myself with my new M1 MacBook Pro, and since I still cannot understand If the battery has some issues or it's just paranoia, I came to this conclusion: It would be good if people shared their battery life while...

    Big Sur = Dead MacBook Pro Battery

    Hey everyone—it seems that last week after upgrading my 2018 13" Touchbar MacBook Pro my battery failed. I wasn't even able to start the computer for 2 days because I would only get the red battery drained icon despite it being plugged in. It was so soon after the OS update that I was...

    MacBook Pro 15" (2018) on 185 charge cycles already down to 73% battery capacity and "Service recommended"

    Some background: this was a launch-day machine that I ordered right after the press release back in 2018, see screenshot for config details. My usage pattern is that this machine is plugged in 98% of the time, and then it is mostly plugged into an external display in clamshell mode. I run some...

    MBP M1 Battery Draining Faster than Expected

    Hi all, Haven't been active on MacRoumors for a very long time so I hope I am posting in the right place. I just bought a MBP M1 base model. Suffice to say that its battery is far superior to my older MBP 13" Early 2015 base model, which requires recharge after every 2-3 hours of normal usage...

    I have a iPhone 12 Pro and turn auto-brightness off. I typically set mine to about 33% (top of the sun icon) during the day. In the evenings, I lower it to the bottom of the sun icon. In bed, it’s either at the lowest level or I turn on the White Point Reduction setting (I have the shortcut...

    Big Sur Breathing New Life Into 2015 MacBook?

    Hi all So I have the entry-level 2015 12-inch MacBook, and in recent years (and even up to the recent dev betas of Big Sur) it really has been a struggle to maintain some semblance of good performance. I think this was largely due to my use of Chrome and other non-Apple apps, which often...

    Battery capacity details no longer available on M1 Macbooks ???

    It appears the mAh battery capacity information is no longer showing in either System Report nor third party battery apps ? Do you think Apple has purposely hidden this info or is it something about M1 chips that doesn't allow this info to be available ???
