    Pro 2: optimized charging is broken

    I had my AirPod pro 2 case replaced because the case would endlessly drain when optimized charging was on, even though it wasn’t actually charging the AirPods. This isn’t related to a general battery drain issue as the case would stay the same percentage if it wasn’t used. Now my 2nd case is...

    Alternative for battery charging for m1/m2

    If it's not been suggested, there has been other topics about keeping battery between 20-80% for longer battery life, since apple don't allow easy ability to limit to 80%. What about using a lower wattage PD usb-charger, such as 15w, and having it then always stay at say, 50% as charger can't...

    16" M1 MBP randomly jumps off and on charging

    Last month my 16" 2021 MBP was in its "paused charging" mode I let it enter every odd week as I usually keep it plugged in all the time. But after coming out of a meeting, I noticed by the green charger LED that it had suddenly charged to 100%? I opened the lid and the screen had dimmed as if I...

    iPhone jumps between charging and not when moved around but doesn't seem to acknowledge it?

    A few months ago I first noticed that my iPhone 13 stopped charging when it was plugged in and I picked it up in the morning, indicated by the battery icon. It didn't make any noise or vibrate when the icon changed to charging again half a second later and I thought it was nothing. But it kept...

    iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro won't charge with active use unless using USB-C and 20W charger.

    I have a problem where my phone won't charge in my car. I purchased the $100 Belkin Boost 15W QI charger and the iPhone 14 Pro battery just keeps draining while I am driving. If I'm in low power mode, it might stay at the same level. I also notice the 14 Pro won't charge with low voltage USB...

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...

    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...

    iPhone 13 How much battery do you have left on your iPhone 13 before you charge it?

    I'm using an iPhone 13, and my phone typically has 20% battery left, which I'll be charging. I have seen some sayings that you should charge your iPhone with 40%-50% remaining power. This is the most friendly way to the battery of the mobile phone and can better protect the battery of the...

    Is my Dell Monitor C2722DE responsible for overheating my MBP ?

    Does connecting my 2018 15.6" MacBookPro (Mojave) to the monitor (Dell C2722DE) overheat the laptop ? That sound (fan I think?) is always on when monitor is connected - if I switch off the monitor and use only the MacBookPro, the sound fades away. Does monitor require more energy from the laptop...

    I have an Anker USB 3.0 (USB Type A) charger that can output 5V/2.4A for a maximum of 12W per port. When I charge my iPhone with a USB-A to Lightning cable, it pulls the full 12W. But when I use a USB 3.0 Type A to USB-C cable to charge my M1 MacBook Air, it only pulls 5W from the charger...
