    Battery Fast Degradation - MacBook Pro 14 M1 (2021)

    I don't think this is normal, it's a little shy of 300 charge cycle, and it's already around 82-85% capacity. Any thoughts on this?

    iPhone 8 Plus FaceTime not always ringing

    Hi, My elderly mum has my wife's old iPhone 8 Plus. She knows nothing about these things and so I've set it up with nothing but homescreen-shortcuts that have pictures of our faces so she can FaceTime her loved ones. She uses the phone for nothing else. There's the weather widget and the...

    Google Drive Background Activity

    So I guess this doesn’t need much explaining… just, WOW! Doesn’t seem to affect battery life much, if at all. Background App refresh is disabled… iPhone 14 Plus 256Gb on the latest iOS. Needless to say I’m at a loss for words 😂

    MBP 2015 battery replaced - machine now only works when plugged in :/

    Hello, I've just installed a new battery on my old macbook pro (early 2015 intel based). I had done this once before with no issues so I felt confident, but this time it did not go as planned. The computer now only works when the charger is plugged in. As soon as it's unplugged, it shuts down...

    I have a Series 4 which I’ve owned for 3.5 years now. It still does everything I need but, predictably, the battery life is starting to become a problem near the end of the day, with battery health currently at 81%. Apple will replace the battery for £80 (I don’t fancy using a third party...

    Battery drain during sleep on M1 Pro

    Hi all I closed the lid on my MacBook M1 Pro (14inch if that makes a difference) yesterday evening. Safari was the only open programme. I don't have wifi at the moment so it wasn't connected to wifi, so it wasn't getting mail etc. When I opened it in the morning it had drained around 15% (see...

    Can I replace the battery in a Siri Remote 1st gen?

    Is it possible to replace the battery without breaking anything? Or is it glued (?) shut forever? If so, how about recycling the battery? I've had this remote for almost six years, so no wonder the original battery is worse for wear by now. Still, the remote works fine.
