    iPhone XS EBay/Amazon Battery Replacements WORSE than 4-year-old battery?

    I‘ve now done a few battery replacements for myself and for family. First, I did my iPhone XS, which was at 81% battery health. Battery life seemed unchanged from the 81% BH original battery, and then I had to deal with the warning messages about the third-party battery. This last week I put...

    Battery Health Plan

    Was handed down a 2019 15” MacBook Pro and am going to use it in a remote office. As it will be stationary on a desk the entire time, wanted to know the best way to treat the internal battery. Apple recommends fully discharging it once a month. Do I just keep it plugged in the rest of the time...

    iOS15 and iPhone 7 Plus - Battery life

    Hi everyone, I have an iPhone 7 Plus. 96% battery health. Great phone and I will be sad to replace it in the future. For those with this phone, what sort of battery life do you get with iOS15? I am using 15.5 Beta 4, and I get approx 2-3 hours screen on and 1 hour screen off (Fitbit - Mobile...

    iPhone 13 mini 6-7hrs SoT is it good enough?

    Hi everyone! I bought 13 mini few days ago, and I found that my battery on 13 mini is 6-7hrs SoT before hits 20%. Thing is that I sold my 13 Pro which was exactly the same as my 13 mini now (around 7 SoT). How is it even possible. How is ur experience with 13 mini battery life?

    iOS 15.0 with the BEST BATTERY LIFE

    I have an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and after getting them both on launch day, I realized the battery life kinda sucked! Especially bad on the iPhone 13 Pro with its atrocious standby time (and it is even bad in airplane mode, around 8% drain overnight doing nothing). IPadOS 15 and...

    All my data - what happens when I die…

    Ok, don't fret - I'm planning on living a long life (at this rate, at least by the time macOS 11.x.x is released (lol). But I've come to thinking about what plans I need to have in place if something happened to me, how my family will carry on without losing my Photos, Videos and everything else...

    iPhone Wireless Charging/Battery Health

    I know people who keep their iPhones for a year plus after they get them and their battery life seems to be next to nothing. I always assumed it was because they were constantly leaving their phone plugged in past 100% and unplugging and plugging it back in frequently and that was the reason for...

    Thoughts on quitting life?

    Anyone here just feel like quitting life? No, I'm not talking about suicide. I enjoy living. I love my wife, my three year old daughter, and my one year old son. I just sometimes wonder if the life I'm living needs to change in some significant way. I can't quite put my finger on it. I have a...

    Severe battery life + iOS9 downgrade

    Since iOS10, my iPhone 5S has had a comically bad battery life. I upgraded the day it was released — and the next morning I went on an 8hour drive along the west coast. I would have my phone running Google Maps, and charging in the car USB slot, and the battery would go DOWN 1% every five...

    SIGH...Battery Life

    I was extremely excited to see that Apple has worked to fix the issues with the batter life on the new MacBook Pros, but im seeing no improvement. I downloaded the beta and my MBP is lasting about 4.5 hours. The only things I have done on it in that time are surf the web and listen to music. Now...

    Battery life on 15" MBP

    I'll start with a disclaimer that I'm not normally one to obsessively check battery health, if at all, though it seems I've been getting pretty good life from my old slugger of a laptop. She's a 2012 15" cMBP, purring with maxed RAM and a Samsung EVO. Yeah I've got Retina screen envy and I'd...

    Any correlation between car chargers and loss of battery life?

    I did a Google search for this but all I could find was stuff about phone chargers draining the car battery. What I want to know is if there has been found any correlation between using a car charger (USB or cigarette lighter style) and the battery life of the device being charged being lowered...

    Battery has turned dire (Losing 50% over 6 hour standby period)

    Hi folks, So I'm currently running the latest version of the iOS 10 Public Beta on an iPhone 6s. However, over the past day or so, I've noticed my iPhone (6s) battery has become dire. Nothing has changed in terms of the PB build, and this issue has cropped after being on the latest version...
