    Wifi Keeps Disconnecting While On FaceTime

    I just started noticing this around the time iOS 15 came out.

It’ll do this many...

    14 MBP Battery drain on Facetime

    I have a base model 14 MBP and started a Facetime call with 100% battery. After exactly an hour, my battery had drained to 65% which I felt was a bit low. On the other hand, that same Facetime call after an hour would only drain to 80-83% on my 2020 iPad Pro 11 inch. I realize the MBP is...
