    Do USB-powered devices degrade MacBook’s battery while on the charger?

    If I leave USB-powered devices plugged into my MacBook while it’s charging, will it degrade the battery?

    Macs inherently faster than PCs?

    I work in tech support, in a company that deploys exclusively Dell laptops to its employees. We've had conversations with employees that suffer with these Dell laptops, and their comments are boggling to me - Macs can't be THAT much better than these new Dell PCs that we give them?

    iPhone 12 Pro At what percentage of battery wear does the iPhone start throttling and acting wonky?

    I don’t know if anyone here services Apple products, but I’ve replaced over 100 iPhone batteries and up until today, I was under the impression that once the battery wear reached 85%, it would say “service battery“ but this iPhone 12 pro is at 80% and says nothing.
