    M3 Max Low-Power Mode is INSANE

    I've seen a lot of people on here talking about returning the M3 Max or going with the M3 Pro over the M3 Max because they want improved battery life or quieter fans. If that is the only thing holding you back—don't do it. What if I told you that you could have the best of both worlds? I was...

    15 Pro Find My Battery Drain

    Around 10% per night goes to Find My. I have an automation that turns off AID/ turns on battery saving during the night. Yet I’m losing 10+% on Find My. Initially I thought it’s because of my AirPods staying out of the case. But it’s not, I haven’t used the AirPods last night and still lost...

    Third Party Battery Health App for Apple Watch?

    Is there a third-party battery health app like Cocoanut Battery for the Apple Watch? The Battery app reporting is clearly bogus. The one on my S5 (second battery) indicated 94%, but I am only getting 6 hours. In store, the Genius diagnostics indicated 83%. They refused to replace until it was...

    iPhone 13 mini Battery Life on iPhone 13 mini

    My battery health indicates 93% (yeah, right.) In actual use, I now barely get 10-12 hours and often only 8. It's time to argue with a Genius about replacement under AppleCare+. It was never great, but I used to be able to get through the day and evening without an extra pack or lunch time...

    Best battery brand for pre-Retina MacBook Pro ?

    Hi there, I'm on the market (again!) for a 2012 MacBook Pro (pre-Retina) battery. The current one, a third-party manufacturer bought from eSourceParts (a local retailer, so no customs fee), failed after 15 total cycles, 1.5 year after manufacturing. It still holds about 90% charge according...

    The Battery Condition After 2 Years Status Update - MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro

    Just curious how is everyone else; 2021 model 14" / 16" battery doing so far for day one owners. I think the rate at 1000 charge cycles is a joke or my battery is really just bad batch on release? No where close to 500 cycles let alone 1000 cycles rated, with the mix system report and terminal...

    Apple Music This isn’t normal, right?

    15p gets quite warm while just streaming music playing through its speakers. None of my previous phones ever got even remotely warm playing tunes. It’s as warm as it is playing games. I didn’t want to add on to the heat complaints, but this is weird imo. I wish I had screenshots of how my 11 did...

    PSA: the CNN app is bugged and probably draining your battery. It’s draining mine. Check your battery usage. I’m gonna delete the app and see if battery improves. Yikes. Almost 16 hours in the background See:

    (sigh) fried my 2015 MBP

    Got the iFixit kit to replace the battery in my Mid-2015 Retina MBP, which was a workhorse. I did the full disassemble as their instructions recommended so I wouldn't get acetone on the motherboard; as many know, it's a real pain to unstick the glued-down battery cells. Finally reassembled it...
