I am having the similar issue with changing with my new MBP M2. Computer charged a couple of times and now on fourth battery cycle, charged from approx <25% to 50% then quit charging. Blinking amber LED on cable USB-C to MagSafe T connection with 140W power adapter. Running Sonoma 14.2.1. First three battery cycles, all charged to 100%. I will update this post with more information once I test adapter, cable and different charging scheme (to test computer)...

When ı work on Xcode beta for VisionOS my Macbook device's battery drains very quickly and device's gets very hot. Is it normal?

I am using a Macbook Air M1, 2020 model, and I bought it last June, and some weeks before I got a battery backup of 10 hours, and now my battery backup is around 5 to 6 hours only, is it because of any problem or just because it's like that.

Ever since updating to watchOS 10, my series 7 Watch with Cellular and no active plan has been experiencing major battery drain issues. After receiving full charge, the battery is drained completely within about 3-4 hours, which was not the case prior. There was no noticeable change with the 10.1 public update which mentioned specifically that it resolves issues with some users experiencing rapid battery loss. Being so disappointed, I submitted an issue report to Apple with the details including the fact that the battery health percentage was at 87%. (Don’t know what it was prior to the v10 update). My frustration with the problem then led me into enabling beta updates for my watch and I proceeded to install the beta version 10.2 as I saw users in some forums stating it resolved their issues. Needless to say, after updating, the watch worked normally for a few hours, noticed it was dead, put it to charge (with a known working charger), and now it’s been several days in which it does not turn on no matter the combination of button presses or state of charging. The only indication of life I see is that sometimes a visual of the charging puck with a red voltage symbol appears when I place it to charge. It doesn’t boot whether I leave it charging over night or just sitting there. This is the first time I’ve been dissatisfied with an update released by Apple. Now I have to go out of my way to get it working again. Would love any suggestions before I am forced to go speak to a Genius...

Installed 17.2 Beta on 14Pro and since then the charging port is not recognized. Can only charge wirelessly. Took to Apple Store and was told its impossible to reverse to the previous version since they can’t physically connect to iTunes. Repair is $649 or I can trade it in. Everything worked flawlessly before the 17.2 install. The diagnostics show hardware is good as well. So to summarize, while helping Apple finesse their software they installed a bug that disables the port and renders the phone pretty useless. Way to go Apple!!!

I am finding my Apple watch Ultra since i done the Beta download on my iphone and also on my watch is giving me if i am lucky 6 hours of battery life..

Apple watch Ultra (new) drains on WatchOS 10 Beta 3. Please let me know if this happens to anyone else. I tried every battery-saving hack but it still drains very fast and could never last a day.

Hey guys, so a few days ago I bought a new mbp m2 with 16GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, I'm really enjoying the UX on it, but I bought it primarily for the powerhouse I get on the go, specifically the main reason is I'm developing using flutter, with lOS emulators running using XCode, my IDE is vsCode which is running constantly alongside Google Chrome, so basically Im mostly using vsCode, lOS emulators and google chrome, whilst Im coding my mbp gets very hot and the battery starts draining somewhat fast lasting about on average for 5 to 6 h, and even when not coding but just web browsing, watching videos, etc.. battery still holds for about 10 h. And also I need to mention that I have updated to MacOS 14 Sonoma, so my main question because my mop is basically brand new with being old just a few days, is this normal behavior or if not is there anyway to minimize the battery drain? I have checked the internet and mostly it's the same stuff, use CleanMyMac X, check using. Activity Monitor highest consumer of resources, etc.. I have done this already, but there is little to no impact on the fast battery drain, are there any other action for you to suggest to me to solve this problem. Tnx for any help in advance PS. I know that running IOS emulator, vsCode and Chrome is quite demanding.

I just updated my iPad AIR5 and Ipad AIR5 m1 version 17.0.2

Dear you guys, Before updating iOS 17, I thought that this version will have some new features or some features will be enhanced but not. It's really make my phone's battery drain more than as usual. Normally, I just charge battery only 1 times/ a day but now after updating to iOS 17 I often charge 2 times or more while I still use the same apps

On iOS we are trying to log energy use by our network extension to help us isolate troubled areas. task_info with TASK_POWER_INFO_V2 does return task_energy value and it's growing over time, but it's not clear what exactly it means and how it supposed to correlate to battery usage screen from iOS settings. Does anybody know anything about this?

UIDevice.current.batteryLevel is now returns battery levels in increments of 5% only. Same goes with battery charging events. This must be fixed.

I bought a MacBook Air M2 a few days ago. Today I started using Xcode 15 to learn iOS development. But as soon as I turn on the simulator, I notice that my mac gets very hot and drains a lot of battery. Is there any solution for that? I repeat the MacBook is brand new.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro and my battery health is at 100%. However, after updating to iOS 17, the battery is draining excessively. During a 30-minute audio call, the battery percentage dropped from 100 to 83. Do you have any advice on how to address this issue?

Hi there, My battery health has significantly gone down since when i bought my iphone 14 pro max. I bought it around last week of october and now my battery health is 91% as of now. Is this normal ?? or will apple help me out if i go to them for it? i dont know if this helps but im currently in india and the temperatures are super high here during summers. Also im not able to slide when i play any video (you know how you can move the video up or down by just sliding your finger thingy) on the default player of iphone since i got into ios 17 beta? please tell me the fix of it as well. looking forward to hear soon.

My Iphone 14 was bought in March 2023 and now after 6 months, the battery health is dropped to 95%. Is it normal situation? Thanks in advance.

I got this iPhone 14 in Product Red, 128 GB in February 2023, the same year I'm posting this. I've mainly used it for taking photos and calling my partner, with less than 8 apps and around 1,000 photos stored. I always use the original cable for charging and don't play games in the phone (TBH, I don't have any games in this phone) that could harm the battery. However, the battery health has dropped to 93%, which is lower than expected for just 6 months of use. While some may argue that this figure is still quite acceptable, it falls short of what I anticipated for a new device with only six months of usage. I can draw a comparison with my previous phone, my previous phone, an iPhone SE 2021, endured heavy gaming for 12 hours a day and didn't have such a battery drop in the same timeframe. I'm genuinely curious if there's an issue with this new phone, even though I follow charging best practices by not going above 80% or below 20%.

Hello, i am from Greece, i have an iphone 13 pro bought it exactly 1 year ago. For 8 months period my battery health was at 98% , and its been 1 month that almost every week drops 1% now is at 93%. The charging scedule is the same like before ,i havent changed anything from my routine. statistically 96% will be ok nothing less nothing more. And my friends too, with the same phones and also the rumour for iphone 14 that the health drops fast. Can you explain please these drop because is not normal? Thank you.

Hi, How would I go about keeping a program at full capacity even as I leave the application? I am on Mac M1 (Ventura 13.5) and working in Unreal Engine. Specifically, I want to be able to stream my scene as I am working in it/playing the scene but this requires me to leave to application as I am working with 3 applications at the same time when doing so. Whenever I leave UE it becomes a background application and frame rate drops from 60 FPS to 3. I tried to renice but although UE is prioritized it nevertheless becomes treated as a background application and FPS drops. I suspect this has something to do with energy saving but I need to find a way around it. Anyone have an idea of how to sort this?
