    Kudos for Apple support.

    My Series 1 Watch got the dreaded swollen battery and the screen popped open. I’ve had the watch for 5 years and it wasn’t holding a charge so not a big surprise. Took it in to the Apple store thinking there wouldn’t be anything for them to do about it. But, for $79 I was shipped a brand new...

    MacBook Pro 2018 Battery Service Warning

    Hello everyone, my new MacBook Pro, which has only 3 cycles, shows this warning. SMC reset did not fix the warning message. I will try to do battery calibration today. It is not a good thing for a new machine... Does anyone else having the same problem with their new machines?

It's also at 606 cycles. I turned the laptop off and the battery now says normal, but it's still at 78% health...
