    iPhone 15 Pro CNN app causing massive battery drain

    PSA: the CNN app is bugged and probably draining your battery. It’s draining mine. Check your battery usage. I’m gonna delete the app and see if battery improves. Yikes. Almost 16 hours in the background See:

    (sigh) fried my 2015 MBP

    Got the iFixit kit to replace the battery in my Mid-2015 Retina MBP, which was a workhorse. I did the full disassemble as their instructions recommended so I wouldn't get acetone on the motherboard; as many know, it's a real pain to unstick the glued-down battery cells. Finally reassembled it...

    Hey there friends 😀 I know there are a lot of posts about this subject but after some time trying different things I decided to give a try on creating one. Basically, I've been an iPhone user since the model 3. And when switching for a new one I always use my latest backup. Since the iPhone X...

    iPhone 15 Pro What phone did you upgrade from and have you noticed a difference?

    Personally I had an iPhone 13 128gb and have chose the iPhone 15 Pro. The camera is night and day and I do really notice the smooth scrolling from the 120hz display. AOD is pointless imo, but I like the dynamic island. Also my eyes don’t feel as jaded reading in dark mode at night. Battery is...

    Optimized Charge Limit for Apple Watch Ultra 2

    Hello everyone! I have a question about the “Optimized Charge Limit” especially for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (though it may be the same for other watches). I got the watch on launch day and so as of Friday will have had it two weeks. I only use about 30% of the battery daily and charge it before...

    PSA: Airplane Mode and Poor Cell Coverage

    This has likely been discussed before but if you live or work somewhere with poor cell coverage, put your phone into Airplane Mode when at home or work. I don't have great cell coverage at home (with any of the Big Three U.S. providers). This made sending and receiving texts and calls difficult...

    iPhone 15/Plus Are you using the 80% charging limit?

    For those with iPhone 15s, are you using/planning to use the new 80% charging limit feature? As someone who doesn't upgrade their phone every year (11 to 15 Pro), I am curious to see if anyone else is trying to preserve their battery life by using it, or sticking with usual iOS optimised...

    MacBook Pro battery at 90.3% after 7 months

    Hi, my boyfriend bought an M2 Pro MacBook Pro in February. He usually keeps the battery between 20% and 80% (pretty obsessive even) but we noticed the charge isn't lasting very long so we checked with Coconut Battery and it says capacity is at 90.3% despite it being less than a year old. Is...
