    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...

    Buying genuine MacBook Pro battery

    So my MBP is showing the 'Service Recommended' sign. Where I live, we only have any limited options for Apple products and almost always get ripped off. So I thought of getting a relative to buy the battery from some store or website in USA and get it here with him. Apple doesn't manufacture or...

    Hi! Bought a second hand Mid-2012 13" 2,5Ghz Macbook Pro (non retina) yesterday, to play around with since an Apple laptop is the only Apple product I did not have yet 🤪.

    Battery Health Optimization - Is it not for all models ?

    Just updated to the latest version of Mac OS Catalina, don't see battery health optimization. I am using MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) model - Is this feature not applicable to all the models that has the newest version of OS installed ? thanks ..
