    MacBook Pro 13 (2020) Battery Life

    Hello guys, I've been switching to MBP for the past month from Windows and it feels great. However, I am a little bit anxious about the battery life here. Whenever I am doing some "active" browsing like reddit while listening to Spotify, I observed that the battery drains rather quick...

    What's your first charge?

    How do you guys charge your brand new iPhone 12's right now or when you get a new one? Do you charge it till 100% before use. Do you let it drop to 0% after a full charge. Or what is the best in your opinion?

    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...

    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.
