    Are there any Side Effects to putting a iPhone XR in a iPhone 11 Smart Battery Case?

    I’m wondering if anyone has tried that for the camera button and more battery capacity?

    Why did my MacBook came from 100% to 4% unused on a plane?

    I had my MacBook Air 2018 in a backpack on two flights, I haven't been using it for about 36h. I charged it to 100% before my flight. Today I opened it and it was 4%. How did it happen? Do planes somehow make batteries drain? I haven't heard anything about it. I hope my MacBook is alright.

    iPhone iOS 13.3, High "Screen Off" time on battery while charging overnight

    Has anyone ever seen this before? While my iPhone 11 on iOS 13.3 is plugged in and charging overnight, the "Screen Off" time is basically spiked to 100% every hour that it is charging. Not sure what's going on here. I have not power cycled the phone yet but I will probably try that next.
