    How's your iPhone 8+ battery life?

    I'm getting excellent battery life myself since updating to 11.0.1. Even with more heavy usage (usually when playing games, I still end my day at 20%)

    iOS 11 / iPhone 6 / Battery always at 100%

    Has anyone else encountered this bug? Ive searched but haven't found anything. It is really annoying. Ever since installing iOS 11 (11.0.1) my battery always says it is as 100%. Then it will just die, because I dont know what the battery level actually is. I've done the reset and still hasn't...

    I have a first generation Macbook and sometimes I've noticed that when I close it and open it hours later the battery has died which is leading me to think it's not sleeping when I close the lid. Anyone else experiencing this?

    White Unibody on Steroids

    I'm a happy owner of a Mid-2010, white unibody MB (aka: MC516LL/A - MacBook7,1) I know that to some this is probably a dinosaur... but it does what I need it to do, and as a [subjective] bonus, I just like how it looks. Am I the only one who would like Apple to make another white computer...

    How's WatchOS 4 battery life on a Series 1? Should I keep mine on 3.2.3?

    Just curious from other Series 1 owners who have updated to WatchOS 4 if I should make the jump or keep my Series 1 on 3.2.3? How's the battery life? Sucks that we can't try out the update for a few days / weeks and downgrade if we don't want it like we can on the iPhone :oops: (at least before...

    iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE 97-98% capacity after 19 cycles?

    Checking Coconut Battery, my SE is said to have 97.5% charge capacity after only 19 cycles. It was slightly lower than this at around 13 cycles, and frequently goes up to 98%. I know I'm being obsessive but this is normal for a battery right? As long as it doesn't drain to like 90% in 2 months...

    All, I just thought I’d share an issue I’ve experienced twice since installing 11 a 3 days ago. I noticed high battery drain and my 6s was fairly warm. After doing a hard reset, I received text messages from earlier, and the phone then cools. Battery drains seems to normalize. I’m wandering...

    Not the great Customer Support that I always hear about / Also battery issues for new 2017MBP

    So, my MacBook Pro drains battery pretty fast. In the time span of 11 minutes, with only Safari, Pages, and Preview open, my battery will drop 7%. Is this normal? I called Apple Support, and they directed me to "About This Mac" >"System Report..." > "Hardware" > "Power" , and I did that...

    Problem with refurbished 6s

    recently purchased a refurbished iPhone 6s, and for the first week it worked perfectly. However, just yesterday it turned itself off out of the blue, to the point where it would respond to anything (the charger icon doesn't even come on when holding down on button) This has worked drastically...

    Apple to remove battery percentage indicator on iPhone X?

    In recent leaks, it has been shown that the status bar of the iPhone X will consist of the time on the left and cellular, wifi, and battery on the right. However, this would make it so that there wouldn't be enough room for the battery percentage indicator, and none of the leaked images have...

    A good battery for a DLSD PowerBook G4

    Greetings everyone! My DLSD 15" PowerBook G4 came with a battery that I tried many times to revive. No matter how long it was plugged in, the amber charging light only came on occasionally and for about 1 minute. The menu bar said "Battery not charging". Recently I bought a used battery: it's...

    I've recently purchased a MacBook Pro(13inch, 2016) and have been experiencing some battery draining issue when my Mac is put into sleep mode. Before going to bed I would usually put my Mac into sleep mode by closing the lid. But for some reason it seems to be losing 10~15% battery life over...

    Battery life: Pro vs. Air

    I'm planning to buy a new Macbook in the coming weeks. After a lot of doubting I got my mind set on a 13' Macbook Pro - 256gb without Touchbar. However now I'm starting to read that the battery life is not that great... For those who have made the switch; is it really that noticable? Or can you...

    Hi! I bought iPhone 6 in July 2015, which was perfectly working for a year. In July 2016, a week after the warranty expired, the battery started dropping like crazy, it would last for maybe four hours. I went to get it repaired however, they found out it was not the battery but defective...
