    MacBook Pro 2018 Battery Service Warning

    Hello everyone, my new MacBook Pro, which has only 3 cycles, shows this warning. SMC reset did not fix the warning message. I will try to do battery calibration today. It is not a good thing for a new machine... Does anyone else having the same problem with their new machines?

    Hi all, I currently have a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro (Retina display, core i7, 15”) with a partially burnt MagSafe port, such that it can no longer charge. I’d like to repair it for as little money as possible, and am comfortable doing precise/delicate work to disassemble the laptop! The cause...

    What is the REAL expected battery life of the new MacBook Air?

    So the new MacBook Air is advertised as 12 hours of battery life. It's even "13 hours when watching iTunes movies" (LOL, like that matters). But the reviews are stating to achieve 8 to 9 hours. Is that what I should expect? I remember that when I bought my MacBook Air in 2013, it was the first...

    iPhone XR battery charge issue

    Wondering if anyone has similar issues with this. I noticed one time that my (days old) XR while still plugged in (actually doing it again as I type this), with iTunes running the green battery charge icon turns to black & the battery level stops updating on both the phone and iTunes. As I...

    New Macbook Air - Battery Draining

    I pre-ordered the 2018 Mac Book air. Out of the box, I've been experiencing poor battery life. I'm getting about 6 hour battery life. To fully charge, my charging estimate is typically 3hrs. On one evening while on sleep, my battery completely drained. Today, I started my morning with 60%...

    Why do I purchase a replacement battery for my mid 2010 MacBook Pro?

    I am 100% comfortable doing the work of replacing the battery once I have a replacement battery. I see them selling on Amazon for very cheap, but I know a lot of them aren't very good based on the reviews. As I understand, Apple doesn't make these anymore. Where would an authorized repair shop...

    Best Battery Strategy

    This thread applies to any electronic device, but I’m talking specifically about the MBP. In terms of battery longevity, there are a few general things that I know will help preserve life: Batteries last longer when their charge is not extreme (maintained between, say, 30-80% charge) They last...

    2016 13" MBP (non-touchbar) Lost 9% battery overnight

    Hey All, I have a hand-me-down 2016 13" MBP at work, and I've noticed the battery isn't exactly ideal. After being two years old now, I realize that might be the case, however the power lost when in sleep is alarming. The battery itself only shows 203 cycles, and a condition of 'normal'...

    Is my battery normal?

    Hey everyone. I got a new MBP 2018 yesterday and I love it, but I think the battery feels.. not so great. I'm spending about 20% per hour, and I don't feel I've been doing super heavy stuff. Here is a 4 minute video watching a MacRumors video and then browsing a bit...

    MBP 2018 constantly in charger vs drain and then charge?

    I have my Macbook sitting on the office table where I use it daily. With my old MBA 2012 I had it plugged in the charger constantly because I always used it in that same spot anyway. However with my new MBP I want to take as good care of it as possible. Do you guys recommend having the cable...

    Battery (sometimes) not being recognized

    This problem started about 2 months ago. My 13" early 2015 Macbook Pro running OS 10.11.6 shut down suddenly and wouldn't start up again without the power adapter connected. Upon startup the battery icon alternated between a black X and 0% with a notification that said the battery needs...

    Mid-2015 rMBP - Swollen battery

    So I noticed my Dad's mid-2015 rMBP wobbling whilst on a flat surface last week. Turns out the battery is swollen and seems like this is not an isolated issue. AppleCare has expired - the local Apple authorized service provider said the repair may be chargeable, and a call with Apple Support was...

    General Battery Life on Beta Software

    Hello, I am wondering about how beta software affects battery life on Apple devices, especially iOS. For those who are running betas, do you find that your battery life is very similar to running a public build of iOS? I’m curious to hear what the public has to say about this topic.

    Hi folks My Air 11" 2013 just recently started showing the warning about the battery "Replace Soon". Since I am going to sell (to buy new 2018 model, of course), I think I should change the battery first. Or should I just leave it as is, with the charge count 1065? On amazon.co.uk, I see...

    iPhone XS Is anyone experiencing exceptional battery in 12.1 iPhone XS?

    I upgraded to 12.1 last night and I own an iPhone XS 64GB and I must say the battery is phenomenal. I took my phone off the charge at 8:30 this morning and it is 7:30 EST and I only went down 20 percent? I've used my phone to send text messages, browse forums, watched a couple of videos and made...
