    MacBook Pro battery at 90.3% after 7 months

    Hi, my boyfriend bought an M2 Pro MacBook Pro in February. He usually keeps the battery between 20% and 80% (pretty obsessive even) but we noticed the charge isn't lasting very long so we checked with Coconut Battery and it says capacity is at 90.3% despite it being less than a year old. Is...

    iPad Air Cursor stuck on iPad

    The thread title is probably not the best. But, let me explain... I use a MBP, and from time to time, and iPad Air, too. During a meeting earlier this week, I was using my MBP, and had the iPad open on my left side (MBP was on the right). I was merely moving the cursor around with the...

    Anyone else have their screen randomly flicker on the new 16" MBP?

    I've had my 16" MBP M2 Max 96GB RAM / 8TB drive for about a month. Yes, I maxed the ever-lovin' crap out of it because it's my first new Mac since 2005. :p The screen will occasionally and seemingly randomly flicker. It doesn't seem to do this consistently enough to tell what is causing it. I...

    Out of Warranty, Outside the MBP Keyboard program window Claim exception

    It's now 2023 and I have a keyboard issue with my 2016 MBP 15 touch bar (A1707). I got in contact with Apple via phone and had a senior advisor extend my out-of-warranty replacement for the keyboard as my allowed time frame to have it replaced had passed. So there was an exception granted. I...

    Should I be worried about the sound when shaking my MBP?

    Hey folks on the forum, regarding this issue, I'm pretty sure I'm seriously ignorant about it. See, a few days ago, my colleague mentioned in passing that sometimes there's a slight "sound" when shaking his MBP, which he showed me (it's actually not that bad). So, I tested my own MBP (M1 Max 16)...

    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?

    Battery Capacity 2021 MBP 16

    Dear All, I recently took a look at the battery capacity of my 2021 M1 Pro MBP, bought around February 2022, and noticed that it has dropped significantly after 45 charge cycles (compared for example to my much older iPhone, after 2 years still at 88 percent). According to settings the maximum...

    Apple care report for **** brand new MBP

    LTDR: is there a reason why I would be worse off waiting 4 more weeks to report to Apple Care? Because I'm going to be out of the country. In the end of July this year I upgraded from my 2012 MBP, which was my first one and it was amazing. Main reason to upgrade was that it was becoming slow...

    MagSafe 3 or USB C

    From what I've read so far, it seems that MagSafe is merely faster at charging than USB C. However, I currently use a MBP 2019, with USB C, and all my accessories work with it fine. Would it not be better to merely stick with a USB C MBP, versus a MagSafe one? Was thinking of upgrading my MBP...

    MBA M2 has stronger hinges than MBP 14" M1Pro

    I had my MBP 14" for about 2.5 months. Today arrived my new MBA M2, instantly noticed the stronger hinges and more sturdiness feeling compared to the MBP 14". It's me or is a placebo effect?
