    iPhone 7/Plus Apple replaced my 7+ instead of changing the battery

    Last week I went to the Apple Store to have the battery of my iPhone 7+ replaced. After three years it was still working perfectly fine, but the battery capacity was down to 81% and clearly not lasting very long anymore. I was considering upgrading to an 11 but dreaded the procedure of getting...

    iPad Should I update to iOS 12.4.3?

    I have an Ipad Air 1, it's running iOS 10. Should I update to iOS 12.4.3? I've heard the battery would be worsened if I updated to iOS 12.4.3. I care a lot about battery life. Should I update? Will the battery truly be worsen? Or is it just a temporary thing and my battery would return to normal...

    I’ve had it turned on since iOS 13 came out almost two weeks ago and this feature hasn’t worked at all. How can it possibly take this long for the phone to learn charging habits?

    iPhone 8/Plus Iphone 8 Plus battery performance on IOS 13

    After watching this video: I find it unbelievable that the Iphone 8 Plus (with a higher battery health percentage) now performs worse than the Iphone X. When the Iphone 8 Plus first launched along with the X a lot of sites claimed that the Iphone 8 Plus had a better battery life than the...

    2011 MBP won't start or wake up

    I have a 2011 MBP that I can't get to "turn on". I had it open and running normally about a week ago. Since then, it's been on my desk with lid closed (presumably hibernating).

    Weird battery cycle count

    A few days ago I received a new battery from iFixit for my Mid-2013 11" MBA. After I installed it, I've done the calibration procedure and did a SMC-reset. Unfortunately...without plugging the MacBook to a energy source. Stupid. From this moment on, my MacBook Air keeps forgetting it's own...

    iPhone SE (2016) To iPhone SE users. Was 12.4.1 better in terms of battery compared to 13? If so. How many minutes /hours extra did you get?

    See title. I came from iOS 10.3.3 and 13 drains my battery really fast. So I might downgrade to 12.4.1. Also, another question. How does one reset the screen-on time and screen-off time numbers? Do I have to charge it to 100% for the numbers to become 0?
