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...- ThatSomeone

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...- TitanTiger

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.

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...- IT Provisor

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?- 81Tiger04
