Third party apps use the ioreg parameter for battery condition. This can fluctuate up and down which is why Apple uses a different algorthm, which does not. Apple will not replace unless the Apple parameter is under 80%.
Also for the iPad Pro M1.
What I can say is Battery Stats was 100% accurate on every device I own… until the iPhone 14 PM reached 83% of battery health. After that point, Battery stats keep reporting an aging battery while Apple algorithm said something different (and very little credible).
Apologies I have just realised this is iPhone forum and my reply and link were about Mac. What I said may still be true for iPhone but I don't have any evidence. In fact FWIW Coconut on my Mac (reads health on connected iOS devices), and Apple numbers are very close, but I don’t know if the Coconut numbers have fluctuated or not.
I have an iPad Pro M2, and as far as I know, they swap your iPad for a refurbished one with a new battery. They don’t disassemble your device and change the battery, they replace the whole device.
If that's what you suspect, set the clock forward before doing the battery health check.
In some situations they will do a standalone battery replacement on a pretty slim selection of iPad models. Couldn’t say if your model is eligible off the top of my head, but the change started to roll out a couple years ago.
Okay, if two different users say they sometimes do it on some Apple Store, probably it is me who is on the wrong. I am glad Apple has started doing this! It is the most environmentally sustainable.
I think he was hoping to leverage the warranty to get a free battery replacement, which is well within the terms of the arrangement, and Applecare costs way more than a normal battery swap anyways.
Making use of AppleCare+ through a natural course of events is understandable. Purposefully damaging the battery so that it ages prematurely so that Apple has to pay for a battery replacement is quite another thing, in my opinion. And the latter is what I do not agree with. And it appears the impetus for such action is the price of the replacement, which pales in comparison to the purchase of the phone with Apple Care+. If someone finds $89 (or so) unreasonable for a new battery from Apple, why makes the $1K purchase in the first place? This whole mindset of trying to get one over on Apple is one that I don’t agree with.
Nice a fellow upser haha still here 17 years.. preloader, driver, feeder driverMy wife and I used to work for UPS (that's where I met her) and periodically they had everyone on our sort go through 'training' whenever UPS did something new. For us specifically, as we were irreg drivers, we also got safety videos.
Each and every time we got some idyllic production of a clean facility where the workers were always following safe work methods, smiling and having a good time. It was never reflective of the hub (Ontario, California) we actually worked in. All of us (my wife and I and the rest of the irreg drivers) began to refer to these videos as 'Happy Hub Productions'.
The Scottsdale Quarter Apple Store sounds quite like that. To me.
Maybe it's where Apple drops all the good/great employees, LOL!
people say AC+ is a waste of money the hazards of the job I don't want to have that issue like my AW where I didn't get AC+ on it.. no way will I pay for a screen replacement just better to get a new watch.I don't have an issue with paying for it but the phone is going to a country that Apple Care wont be offered I'm just wondering how low it would hit before that time comes.
I was in a similar situation last year, where the battery health of my 13 pro max stubbornly hung on at 81% for three months. My AppleCare ended up expiring and I still paid out of pocket for a fresh battery. Make of it what you will. 😬
I started in 1992, my wife in 1994 I believe. I was there before the West Coast Air Hub fully opened (guess it's called WAHCA now) and about a week into it they put me in bulk. Got $1 extra to learn the sort. We were on Intra Sort, 9pm to 1am, which is an NDA sort. Teamsters, Local 63. We left in 1999 though (got married in 1997).Nice a fellow upser haha still here 17 years.. preloader, driver, feeder driver
Wow I was only 8 when you started lol It's amazing hearing how all the different things that started up, I've always wondered how it was before those services started.. I told myself when I started I'd only do 3 years and that's it. I've always had a case on my phone plus screen protector.
I was 22 at the time (54 now). It was a good job. We only left because of politics (plenty of stories on that) and after about three years of being on the mule shifter list and not advancing, it was clear I wasn't going to get anywhere by staying. Plus, two part-time jobs meant just one income for two people really. We quit and got full time jobs. Part of our pensions paid for moving to Arizona. The rest is waiting on our retirement years.
Aww bless you’re only one year older than me. 😂👍🏼
It is not an app.
Do you think they are going to give you a refurbished Pro unit for just $99 ?
I fully agree. But if you are stuck at 81/82% in 2 months before AppleCare+ expiration date…
Another old schooler here (53) 😅
Thanks. Doesnt give a value for current max capacity on my iphone 15PM. Will see if I can find the thread here.
Unfortunately I realized it doesn’t seem to work on iPhone 15 and 16 series, since Apple introduced the cycles count in iOS for them.
Just tried on wife’s 13 Pro and it says no analytics data, even though there is, and it shared.
