    iPhone Will Apple replace my battery even though I’m jailbroken?

    I have a jailbroken 6s on 11.3.1. My battery has been horrible for a while now. When I go into Battery Health in Settings it says my max capacity is 80%. I also installed BatteryLife from Cydia and it’s says my capacity is at 67%? I’m guessing I definitely need to get my battery swapped out? My...

    Apple Watch Series 3 issues

    Good Afternoon everyone! Yesterday evening I finally got around to updating my new Apple Watch Series 3 to WatchOS 5.0. It offered some great new features (really made me wish to wait on getting an Apple Watch until the new came out), even for the last gen edition. So why not, right? Within my...

    iPad Battery Use and Video

    Running iOS 12 on an IPP 12.9 G2 LTE. Since updating to iOS 12, basic battery usage seems to be unchanged except for video use. I have noticed whether it is YouTube, Spectrum TV, Netflix, or Amazon, (my major viewing items), this device burns through battery at a higher pace than pre-iOS 12. I...

    iPhone XS Max iPhone XS XS Max battery life

    Apple always claims better battery life for new phones. How's your battery life in the real world? XS Max that I have here has worse battery life than 8 Plus.

    For the past month or so I’ve been seeing unusually high drain on my iPhone 7 battery. Its left untouched when I’m at work with Wi-fi off and it’ll go from 100% to 30% over the course of 7 hours. I’m running iOS12 but have seen no change from when it was on iOS11. Battery health says it’s at 84%...

    Early 2015 MacBook 12 Retina battery already needs servicing?

    I'm not sure why the battery needs servicing after about 1 yr of use. I take good care of my stuff and yet have never had any battery issues. Not even on my iPhone or iPad. But for this to happen so early on a laptop leaves me confused as to why this happens? What would cause this? I'm extremely...

    Battery life with cellular

    If I buy an Apple Watch Series 4 with cellular, but keep cellular turned off, will I get the same battery life as with the non-cellular models? At first, I assumed the answer is Yes. But I just read that 911 works when there is no carrier plan, and even when cellular is disabled on the watch...

    I know this sounds weird, but I took my MCP to the apple store because the keyboard started malfunctioning. They told me it would be $475 because they need to replace the entire front (battery pack, keyboard, trackpad) but if my battery's condition required a change, then the price would drop by...
