    2015 15" MBP strange rubbery things inside after Apple battery replacement

    My battery was swollen so I shipped my 2015 15" MBP to Apple Japan for a battery replacement. They replaced that and the top keyboard case too. When it came back I opened the bottom case to have a look and I found two rubbery things inside (see below), which were not there before. They fell...

    iPhone XS Why are iPhone batteries so bad?

    I love everything about Apple but their battery life is shockingly bad. Are the batteries much smaller than equivalent Android phones? Or is this more a software issue? When I had an iPhone 4 it would last up to 4 days! My iPhone XS needs charging daily...

    Battery Insanity

    I've stumbled into some minor obsessive insanity regarding the best battery health practices for my new 2020 MBP 13-inch. This machine replaces a 7-year-old late-2013 retina 13" that was always plugged in when not in use, including overnight. Those practices run contrary to much of what I'm...

    Using my MacBook Pro 13" in a desktop setup

    The question is more about battery life. My MacBook is placed on a Twelve South's stand called BookArc, so it's closed all the time. In order for it to run/work with an external monitor I need the Mac to stay charged all the time. Is it ok to keep it charged all the time? Is it have an effect...

    Battery optimization not working?

    Hello. So I just bought a new mbp (2020) and installed big sur beta right away.

    At home, should the device be kept on charge, or the battery should be used?

    Hello everyone. For about three hours, I have read tons of articles about using the battery correctly, but I could not find a definite common idea for the following question. If we are going to stay somewhere for a certain period of time (for example like 10 hours at home), should the device be...

    iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE 2020 Premature Max Battery Health?

    I have a iPhone SE 2020 with AppleCare. I've noticed some battery drain lately as I use the phone much more. I figured I'd peek in at the battery section regarding the maximum remaining battery life. It's currently down to 94% remaining capacity with optimized charging enabled. Is it just me or...

    Hi guys. My battery percentage has been dropping steadily the last couple of months, it went from 97% (12 cycles) to 90.8% (22 cycles). Is this normal? Is the battery health feature causing this? The MacBook is on around 8 hours a days, plugged in most of the time. Thanks in advance for your...

    Is my iMac G4 running out of battery?

    I've never had the battery run out of any computer so I don't exactly know how to diagnose it; I just know that the computer might not remember its time/date while starting up offline, but I haven't noticed any clock weirdness so far. The iMac has been starting up without the startup chime for...
