    Largest Genuine Apple Charger iPhone Pro Max ?

    Hi, I am looking to purchase a genuine Apple charger that is the fastest possible option. I had been using my 140W MBP USB-C to Lighting but I’m almost certain that it is causing the battery health to rapidly decrease. I like the fast charge I get from it but not if it’s going to damage my...

    Help with Battery - Mac Air early 2015

    Ok so I'll start this by saying I know nothing about Mac or Apple as a whole so your advice would really come in handy. I've had this early 2015 Mac Air and started using it in 2020, almost every day. Until a month ago I knew nothing about battery cycles and only when I saw, 3 weeks ago, that my...

    iPhone XS The battery decreases by one percent every minute and 43 seconds

    I recently changed the battery on my iPhone XS and the battery is dropping 1% every 1 minute and 43 seconds while I'm on the phone. Is this good or is the battery faulty?

    15" MBP Mid 2014 repeat rebooting on power after battery change

    For a few years the battery on my MacBook Pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014, model number A1398, OS Catalina 10.15.7) showed as 100% full and needing a service - but it wouldn't run at all without a power connection. The battery wasn't at all bloated. I recently replaced the battery - the new...

    iPad Pro New 2024 uses a lot battery power if not used.

    Hi guys, I am new on the iPad. I bought a new iPadPro WIFI 256GB last week. It is interesting, that without even touching it, within 2 days the battery goes down from 80% to 68%. No, it is not in flight mode. Yes, it has a stable wifi connection (no big deal). No, I haven't installed any...

    iPad Pro M4 iPad Pro + Pencil Pro = <2 hours battery life (and other issues)

    I'm hoping that I'm not the only one having these issues with my 4-day-old iPad Pro. The issues seem to be exclusively confined to the Pencil Pro - the device becomes very (and I mean very - to the point it almost becomes uncomfortable to hold) hot after as little as 10 minutes of Pencil use...

    Macbook Pro Mid 2015 Shutting Down on Low Battery Instead of Going in Hibernate

    Is it normal for my Macbook Pro to shut down instead of hibernating when the battery reaches 0%? I've actually noticed this issue on the previous MB Pro I had as well (running latest version of Moneterey), same model Mid 2015. I reset the SMC right after the battery died and the Mac shut down...

    My TiBook is running at 667MHz instead of 1GHz because it has no battery installed. I'm capable of building a battery from individual cells but don't have the dead battery anymore, so don't know the pinout and don't have the pcb. An iBook battery pack that I have is 3s2p, the TiBook needs to be...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro M4 Battery Life

    How is the battery life on your new 11" and 13" iPad Pro M4s? I have heard mixed reviews: - Dave2D has them as equal or slightly lower than the M1s and older generations, at 9 hours and 11 minutes - Toms Guide has the 13" at 13-15 hours (equal to their M3 15" MacBook Air battery life test)...

    iPhone 14 Pro Battery Life After One Year

    Had my 14 for just over a year now. Love it, but the battery really takes a hit when I take photos. Almost 1% for every photo, including a quick bit of post-editing (all using native apps). Yesterday, I went out at 11 a.m. at 94%, used Maps a little bit - not for navigating - took 50 photos...

    Does Raise to Wake Have a Big Effect on Battery Life?

    My original Ultra is 18 months old. Recently I noticed that when I put it on the charger at bedtime the battery was down to 25% or less. OK for normal use, but not OK if I'm gonna do a long cycling workout. I decided to change one thing to see if it had much effect. I disabled Raise to Wake...

    Currently, I charge my laptop about twice a day and try to keep the battery level between 20% and 80%. Since I bought it on April 2nd, I've accumulated 12 charge cycles.

    Frustrating apple repair experience with MBP - is this typical?
