    Charging my Macbook Pro 14" M2 in my Car

    Hello Everyone, I have a dream, of charging my Macbook Pro M2 Max using my car 12v or USB ports. I've tried this years ago on my 2018 MacBook pro, and it ruined the battery for some reason. And I'm afraid to do it again on my new MBP. There are many car charging that promises 130w or so. but...

    I got a 15 pro 2 weeks ago and am extremely disappointed by the battery life of it, it's generally not much better than my 11 with 70% battery capacity - it's made it so I'm struggling to enjoy the features of the phone so I think I'm going to return for another model. Just wondering if the...

    M3 Max Low-Power Mode is INSANE

    I've seen a lot of people on here talking about returning the M3 Max or going with the M3 Pro over the M3 Max because they want improved battery life or quieter fans. If that is the only thing holding you back—don't do it. What if I told you that you could have the best of both worlds? I was...

    15 Pro Find My Battery Drain

    Around 10% per night goes to Find My. I have an automation that turns off AID/ turns on battery saving during the night. Yet I’m losing 10+% on Find My. Initially I thought it’s because of my AirPods staying out of the case. But it’s not, I haven’t used the AirPods last night and still lost...

    Third Party Battery Health App for Apple Watch?

    Is there a third-party battery health app like Cocoanut Battery for the Apple Watch? The Battery app reporting is clearly bogus. The one on my S5 (second battery) indicated 94%, but I am only getting 6 hours. In store, the Genius diagnostics indicated 83%. They refused to replace until it was...

    My battery health indicates 93% (yeah, right.) In actual use, I now barely get 10-12 hours and often only 8. It's time to argue with a Genius about replacement under AppleCare+. It was never great, but I used to be able to get through the day and evening without an extra pack or lunch time...

    Hi there, I'm on the market (again!) for a 2012 MacBook Pro (pre-Retina) battery. The current one, a third-party manufacturer bought from eSourceParts (a local retailer, so no customs fee), failed after 15 total cycles, 1.5 year after manufacturing. It still holds about 90% charge according...

    The Battery Condition After 2 Years Status Update - MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro

    Just curious how is everyone else; 2021 model 14" / 16" battery doing so far for day one owners. I think the rate at 1000 charge cycles is a joke or my battery is really just bad batch on release? No where close to 500 cycles let alone 1000 cycles rated, with the mix system report and terminal...

    Apple Music This isn’t normal, right?

    15p gets quite warm while just streaming music playing through its speakers. None of my previous phones ever got even remotely warm playing tunes. It’s as warm as it is playing games. I didn’t want to add on to the heat complaints, but this is weird imo. I wish I had screenshots of how my 11 did...
