    Currently, I charge my laptop about twice a day and try to keep the battery level between 20% and 80%. Since I bought it on April 2nd, I've accumulated 12 charge cycles. Is it better to maintain the battery this way, or should I keep it plugged in most of the time and only use it on battery when...

    Frustrating apple repair experience with MBP - is this typical?

    I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm posting here. I brought my wife's 2019 Macbook Pro in for a battery replacement and mentioned that the trackpad doesn't "click" anymore, but still works otherwise. It's as if the "force touch" setting is turned off in system preferences but otherwise...

    MBAir , M1. 2020, 8G, Sonoma 14.4.1 First, this is not a complaint; I'm glad that long term battery life will be improved. I typically charge my system overnight every 2 or 3 days, when the charge falls below 35% or so. I've always found it at 100% the following morning. This morning, my...

    iPhone 15 Pro What’s your Battery Health like?

    My battery health is still 100% after getting the iPhone 15 Pro on launch day, September 2023. 210 cycle count, so I’m a heavy user. What’s yours? On the whole I have kept it on the 80% limit option only going to 100% when I knew I’d need it, eg trips away.

    iPhone 15 Pro Is it normal for my iPhone 15 Pro to continue charging beyond 80% even though I've set the limit to 80%?

    Until now, the charge limit has always worked fine (set to 80%). Perhaps, periodically fully charging the battery is necessary for its health. Thanks

    Been using the iPhone 15 pro for a few months, after upgrading from the 13 pro. I'm not at all impressed by the battery life; it's noticeably worse than it was on my 13 pro. Has anyone else experienced this after doing a similar upgrade?

    iPhone XR iPhone XR Battery Health

    I have an iPhone XR so far the cycle count is 1,428 times and the battery health is 84% for me that's great but is this normal I know Apple usually says 500 charges 80%. I don't think new iPhones will even last that long without battery change.
