    Using my MacBook Pro 13" in a desktop setup

    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.

    I have a iPhone SE 2020 with AppleCare. I've noticed some battery drain lately as I use the phone much more.

    Battery Charge Capacity

    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...

    I just bought a new MBA2020 (16GB RAM) and the battery life is around 4hours. This is no way comparable to the MBA that I owned before (I guess it was 2015 model) that consistently gave me 8 hours battery life. Is there a problem with my machine? I mostly just run code in Terminal and...

    I just got a replacement iPhone X. Stellar battery life. I will say privacy is more important to me than battery life. If I jump eyes first into the public betas, what’s battery life looking like?
