    Basic (binned) 10C/16GPU M2 Pro in MacBook Pro 14 - Good for a long run (and in general)?

    Hey everybody! Next day after the announcement I can finally put myself together to ask the following question. First of all, I am a happy owner of a newly ordered MacBook Pro 14 with a basic configuration M2 Pro CPU. The wait was definetly worth it - first of all, here in Germany, the prices...

    MacBook Air 2015 (13") replacement battery? Anyone done one lately?

    my 2015 Air (13", 8gb, 128Gb) actually sat in a warehouse for three years before I picked it up in Oct 2018 "as new" (the story was they'd been bought by local govt for a project that never happened). I knew it was a risk but actually it's lasted really well into Jan 2023. The battery cycle...

    Does Apple still replace the battery on a 2015 MacBook Pro

    Hey everyone, my apologies if this question has been asked before. I need to service my 13 inch 2015 MacBook Pro. The computer is working fine, although I need to service the battery since its nearly 7 years old. Does Apple still service this machine or should I look for a 3rd party repair? :)

    Battery is swelling

    My MacBook's battery seems to be swelling cause it’s lower lid is out of place, it’s no longer firmly closed! Might a possible explosion be something to be worried about?

    iPad Pro Terrible Standby Time on iPad Pro?

    Hello everyone! I have owned several iPad Pro 2018s, and all of them have a similar issue with standby time. I'll charge them up all the way, use them for a couple hours, and then leave them sitting for a day or two. By the time I get back to it, they're usually most of the way drained and I...

    iPad Pro iPad losing charge while plugged in?

    I usually only use it while it's plugged in, but I do unplug it for several hours every day to not have it sit in the charger 24/7. But around a month ago, I noticed that I was losing battery charge as I was using my iPad while it was plugged in? I tried unplugging and plugging it back in again...

    2013 MacBook Pro 13" - does this model have a CMOS battery?

    Issue is, if the MBP regular battery drains all the way down, it loses the date/time and defaults to something like Dec 31, 2000 (can't remember the specific date). I know in some models this used to be maintained by a separate small battery called a CMOS battery, but I wasn't sure if that was...

    Battery aging on M1 Macbook Pro vs M2 Macbook Pro compared

    While sitting on a fence between purchase of 14" M1 Macbook Pro vs 13" M2 Macbook Pro, reading this forum with topics about strange battery behaviour on 14" M1 Pro, I decided to compare battery aging on both laptops in store. I checked the percentage of battery health on two M1 Pro (14" and...

    Future AW-battery

    Hi everybody! The last couple of years I find myself becoming more locked into the apple-ecosystem. And I think that's fine. My last frontier is the AW. Which I probably in the future will acquire for myself. The thing that right now stops me is battery. I have a Garmin 245 Music right now -...

    Now I care about battery care...

    Today, I pop in my 1st gen AirPods Pro, and one of the earbuds does nothing. I try things, long story short, I'm literally walking near an Apple Store and turn back to take my non-functioning bud in to see if they can fix it. Nice Genius Bar guy tests it and says my case battery is toast! My...

    Is it Just Me, or is the Apple Watch Battery Horrible on watchOS 9?

    Ever since I updated my 45mm gold stainless steel Series 7 to watchOS 9, I've had a pretty bad battery issue where it would drain MUCH faster than normal. For example, when tucked away in my Apple Watch box overnight, it would drain over 30% by the time that I get around to wearing it the next...

    Problems with late-2013 MacBook Pro 13-inch

    My elderly parents have a late-2013 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Core i5 processor, running MacOS 10.14 Mojave. Up until recently, this aging, well-worn laptop was running well. Now? Not so much... A few weeks ago, the MacBook started having battery issues. It now constantly reports zero charge...

    iPhone XS EBay/Amazon Battery Replacements WORSE than 4-year-old battery?

    I‘ve now done a few battery replacements for myself and for family. First, I did my iPhone XS, which was at 81% battery health. Battery life seemed unchanged from the 81% BH original battery, and then I had to deal with the warning messages about the third-party battery. This last week I put...

    iPhone 14/Plus Why does the iPhone 14 have longer battery life vs 13?

    I'm curious why in most benchmarks and notes the standard iPhone 14 has an extra hour of battery life than the iPhone 13? (roughly 10% more life). - The SoC didn't really change - still the A15 - All of the wi-fi/bt/cellular components are only slightly different - same wi-fi 6 and 5g, but...

    M1 16" MBP w/ 65w monitor - OK?

    I've got a M1 16" MBP that I currently use with the Dell S2722QC monitor. I like to minimize the number of wires on my desk so I only have the monitor plugged into my laptop. However, it just occurred to me that the monitor I use provides 65w. Is this a problem? Will it damage my MBP battery?
