    So I just got a used early 2013 15' MBP with dual graphics, 16 GB ram, 2.8 ghz i7, and 750 gb of storage. I couldn't be happier with the computer but the battery has been draining super quickly, despite only having about 400 cycles. I'm on 10.11.6. Help?

    iPhone XS 2018 iPhone XS Battery Replacement through Apple

    Hello - After doing research that third-party repair shops "can" replace iPhone batteries I was wondering if I bring my iPhone into an Apple store and they replace it "in shop" will this still result in a protected phone meaning the sealant etc will be the same? I've heard of some shops replace...

    WatchOS 5.3 killing battery on Series 3

    Anyone else having this problem? I tried rebooting the watch, un-pairing and re-pairing, and I'm still losing something like 5% battery in less than an hour. My watch used to make it from 7am to 11pm with half its charge remaining. Now it's dead by 5pm since updating to 5.3. Just wanted to see...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro battery drains quickly with headphones plugged in

    I recently bought an 11" iPad Pro. I'm using the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter and keep Apple iPhone wired headphones plugged in. After I close the cover the screen shuts off but my battery drains quickly - about 20% every 24 hours. Is anyone else experiencing this? Feels like a bug. When I...

    2017 15-inch MBP Battery Issues?

    Is there anyone else with a similar battery issue? My battery is starting to run hot and it is burning through charge quickly. I have sat here surfing the web and looking at email for an hour, and it has gone from 100% to 66% battery in that time. It certainly seemed to last longer before. It...

    iPhone XS Potential battery life improvements - best new feature?

    i’m excited about the potential battery improvements in iPhone 11. If, as has been rumored, the 11s has a 20-25% bump over the XS, that’s the ultimate device for me. I love the large screen size and portability of the XS, but the battery life leaves something to be desired. A 20%+ battery...

    2015 MacBook Pro Recall Repair

    I took my MBP in last Wednesday for the battery repair. It arrived at the depot today. It went from diagnosing to repairing in one day, hopefully meaning that it’s quick. The genius at the Apple Store recommended that Apple replace the top case as part of the repair program as well. Is this...

    All Devices Optimised charging notification

    The new optimised charging feature seems like a great idea, anything designed to prolong the lifetime of a non user replaceable battery in a sealed phone is a great idea. However I do foresee an issue with this feature, and that is the user. I foresee a lot of non tech savvy people plugging...

    Other Why can't Apple do decent battery life in a phone?

    Just swapped my Honor 9 for an iPhone 7 (wanting to get away from Big-brother, sorry, Google). Liking the experience and the way it just links to my Mac and iPad. However, so disappointed with battery life - my Honor 9 would typically have 40-50% left at the end of the day - admittedly, I'm not...
