    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...

    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...

    I have an iPad 3, which I put aside a month or so ago, with the intention of passing along to my children. I went to get it today, only to find that the battery has swollen / expanded and pretty much destroyed the enclosure. I was wondering what my options were? Is this battery likely to explode...

    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...

    Hypothetical question...

    Hi all I got a hypothetical/silly question and I'm a noob when it comes to these things. They say on phones unused apps can drain battery life and slow the phone down. Can the same be said for laptop/MacBook hypothetically? I got a Macbook 13'' Pro (2017) model. And I noticed at times when I...

    MacBookAir 2020 battery life

    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...

    Tell Me About Battery Life PUBLIC Beta

    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?

    Suggestions for MacBook Pro 2018 Battery Expanding

    I have a Mid-2018 Macbook Pro 15" with Touchbar, and I just noticed that the top doesn't close flush anymore. I'm 95% sure its the battery expanding the whole device as it isn't straight anymore. I've not dropped it at all, and it's unlikely I bent it somehow while traveling. Battery Cycle Count...

    I mistakenly bought an A1381 battery off eBay for my 2011 MacBook Pro i7. I requested a return, they are taking a while. But in the meantime, I wanted to know if a 2009-2010 MacBook Pro 15" A1381 battery was compatible with a 2011/2012 MacBook Pro 15".. Well, I tried it out myself. The short...
