    How unlucky are you?

    How many times have you had to return or replace an Apple device with new one (iPhone, iPad, Mac etc) over and over again? For example my worst experience was about my mbp 2018 which was replaced 6 times in a span of months because of several issues on each new one (dead pixel, speaker problem...

    How many devices did you return or replace because of a problem so far?

    From your first apple device which is bought years ago to existing one today, how many Apple devices did you return or replaced because of a flaw or functional problem (like backlight bleeding, keyboard issue, battery drain etc) Apple always became the name of quality for me but a customer has...

    Is a laptop right for me?

    I've been biding my time as I am chugging along with my now 13-year-old 2010 imac. I've updated the ram and replaced the hard drive, but alas, the vast array of restrictions software wise have pretty well started forcing me to look at replacement options. I'm looking for some input on what...

    iPhone 12 Pro At what percentage of battery wear does the iPhone start throttling and acting wonky?

    I don’t know if anyone here services Apple products, but I’ve replaced over 100 iPhone batteries and up until today, I was under the impression that once the battery wear reached 85%, it would say “service battery“ but this iPhone 12 pro is at 80% and says nothing. Due to his random shut downs...

    PSA: Do NOT buy NinjaBatt branded batteries: random shutdowns & no safe sleep

    I purchased a A1618 battery for my 2015 15 MBP and it was a nightmare from day one. Once installed, the computer would shut down at random percentages even after multiple battery calibrations and SMC/PRAM resets it still acts up. Even when installed in a MPB with an iGPU only it still shuts down...

    Resolved Swapped working keyboard, now new keyboard not working (also a surprise!)

    Hi hope all are well! This is actually an interesting one. Picked up this project with my Dad for...pretty much just a fun mod project. A matte black macbook just sounded badass to me. This began before the announcement of the midnight Macbook. The plan was to separate the keyboard from the...

    Replacement screws for Power Mac G4 power supplies?

    Today I learnt the hard way that if you use the wrong type and quality of Phillips head screwdriver, you run the risk of stripping the head of the screw. While it ain’t too bad, it just kinda looks off to me. I have to get my (diagnosed) OCD under control... Wondering if there are any wholesale...
