battery life

I have an Ipad Air 1, it's running iOS 10. Should I update to iOS 12.4.3? I've heard the battery would be worsened if I updated to iOS 12.4.3. I care a lot about battery life. Should I update? Will the battery truly be worsen? Or is it just a temporary thing and my battery would return to normal...

I've been derided for making this point in previous threads, but as an SE owner, and having bought two iphone 7 plus phones for my parents, this is really bothersome to me and I feel Apple needs to be called out on it. Whenever I or other posters bring up battery problems on older devices after...

I can't find any comparisons on camera performance between the 11 (non pro) and the XS Max. I'm looking to lower my phone bill and switching my phones to the 11 will be a nice reduction on our monthly plan. I know the screen is not as nice but honestly my priorities are battery life and camera...

What features can i turn off or downsize in order to achieve more battery life for my 6S+ thats using iOS12?

Main question: Should I return this Amazon renewed item and just spend the extra money on a certified Apple refurbished if the battery seems suspect? I recently bought a renewed 2017 Macbook 12" off of Amazon. I asked around on reddit to see if there was anything I should be concerned about and...

hey like the tile says I am getting horrible battery life out of my 2018 MBP and have since if got it. I thought it was all of that years models being defective but after talking to people that’s not true. Anyway I need more specific data. How long do all of you programmers who use Xcode or...

So, meant to type this earlier. Phone was taken off the charger, at 100%, on Friday night. As of earlier today, Sunday, at like 1 PM, it still had 6% left. I had purchased this phone earlier this week. Was stuck between the XR, because of the battery, and the XS Max, because of what that phone...

Hi all. I was once on the 12.2 beta (beta 2) on my iPhone XR however due to a bug with iMessage notifications I decided to DFU restore back to release firmware (12.1.4) and set up my iPhone as brand new. I decluttered and got rid of half my unused apps and generally tidied up my phone and...

Hi: I disabled Performance management and I'd like to re-enable it. My battery is losing its power really quickly and I've only had it for under a year. 1. Do I have to wait for my iPhone to shut down unexpectedly in order for this setting to be accessible? 2. Are the best replacement batteries...

- Moderate user - 2 hours of calling per day + texting, email, and some internet surfing. - Thank you for your time and help.

I tried the following 1. Turing off the Phone Noise Cancellation. 2. Turning off the LTE 3. Turning on Mono Audio Does anyone have any further suggestions. The voice through the Earpiece Speaker sounds a very muffled. Also I end my day with about 45% battery life, but that is only with...

The battery on my MacBook Air, model - A1466, is in dire need of replacement. I've been trying to do my research to find an efficient and affordable battery but frankly I'm a bit overwhelmed. Especially since I continue to read that many Amazon reviews are inaccurate. Can someone please...

Dear all, I am one of the many that every time I need to buy a new Mac notebook fall in the loop of 13 vs 15 debate. This time I went for the 15. I really love the added screen real estate and don't mind the extra bulk. The thing that always made me get away from it was the kick in of the AMD...

I have ordered i7 16gb 512 Macbook, i7 specifically in hopes that it will be snappier than the i5 as time goes by. However I have a lingering feeling that the battery life on the i7 model will be worse than the i5. What are your opinions and experiences on the same class of CPU i5/i7 and its...

Can anyone offer their battery life experiences on the 2018 15 inch MBPs. I'm specifically interested in comparing the 2.2 GHz and 2.6 GHz configurations with no other upgrades.

I have a question regarding these two. If I understand correctly Apple put in a bigger battery in the 2018 15" to handle DDR4 RAM. So would 32GB use less or more power vs going with 16GB and potentially maxing it out and using swap memory? I have a choice between two refurb models, 16GB/560X...

Hey everyone. I got a new MBP 2018 yesterday and I love it, but I think the battery feels.. not so great. I'm spending about 20% per hour, and I don't feel I've been doing super heavy stuff. Here is a 4 minute video watching a MacRumors video and then browsing a bit...

I purchased the new MBA 2018 in hope to get a machine with decent battery life. Unfortunately, the MBA 2018 battery is more than a disappointment to me. I get a max. 6hrs with screen dimmed to 50% and usual Safari web surfing. Youtube and other videos train the battery even further. What's...

After talking to a few members about sleep tracking apps, settings, and battery life, I decided to pay attention to my settings and battery life and keep track of it last night when sleep tracking. Usually I charge my watch in the morning after sleep tracking, but last night I charged it before...

Hi all. I currently have an iPhone X but I am seriously considering trading it in for an iPhone XR, am I a mad man? There is a reason behind my madness though and that is the claimed battery life gains. Quite often I will be at work on the phone to my mate for hours (I work in the field...
