iPad self checking checklist
We are trying to build an in-house app to help our internal employees have quick health checks on an iPad. We want to understand whether we can perform the below action on managed DEP iPads. What version of the managed app is installed on the iPad How we can run the battery health check command and capture the percentage? How we can display the device connectivity and which network it was connected to and signal strength?

Is battery drain well correlated with thermals?
We're working on a graphics-intensive game for iOS, and we are very concerned about battery drain and thermals. While it's hard to control the user's conditions (ambient temperature, insulating case, battery lifecycle, etc.), we know we can't ignore these issues and we want to make sure we're in line with general expectations. We have found it very challenging to get consistent measurements for the different thermal conditions, such as how long it takes to reach T2 from T1. Room temperature has huge effects. So, we thought a more consistent metric may be battery drain: how much % is used after 15 minutes of play, for example? If we were to focus on this as our metric, would this also take care of heat generation? Specifically, if we make a change and do an A/B test, and found that battery drain was the same, can we safely infer that our heat behavior is also the same? Or, if we did another AB test and found that it drained the battery faster, can we assume the change would also increase phone temperature faster? We have of course observed oddness with the battery percentage, but with some caveats in mind, it seems like something we can measure much more easily and consistently. Any insights in this would be much appreciated!

90 fps on pubg mobile
Hi, im here to have a little chat about iphone 13 pro max . Im a streamer using iphone 13 pro max i bought the device when it first comes to play pubg mobile on 90 fps then problems started to happen from both pubg company and apple company updates making the game lagging on 90 fps and put the phone only on 40 fps recently i have been using apple 15.4.1 update and everything was fine until 2 days ago pubg have lunched a new season update and the 90 fps problem came again making the phone operating only on 40 fps i tried to update to the newest ios update which is 15.5 but the problem still there after contacting pubg mobile they said that the problem is from apple company they’re trying to save battery life . So how can a company lunching a new feature which is the 120 hertz screen which enables people to play 90 fps on games and then they limiting this feature due to battery saving plans ? Like people is paying $1200 buying the phone to enjoy the smoothness of the fps and then apple limit this feature there are too many people who is damaged from this problem and looking for a solution so can you please let me know what’s going on? You might be only an advisor but can you like connect me to a developer or something . It is just lagging to much like is it literally 40 fps i have connected my phone to the computer using an app to measure the fps so when i use guided access it is only 40 fps so much lag cant even play when i disable guided access it is a steady 78 fps with fake damage which means fake fps but before everything was nice and clean can you fix the problem

Hi I'm asking about my iPhone. So Im the second owner of the phone and It still under warranty till 2024. So when I go to the nearest Apple store and said I want to replace my battery. They said okay but then they charged me for it. But when I searched online it says "if it's still under warranty then the replacement is free"

Battery sharing idea
Build the ability to airdrop or “Apple pay” type of technology but to share battery life. Use case: I was recently at a sporting event with my daughter and needed to leave her there and I didn’t have a charger to give her. Her phone was at 11% and mine at 76% I wish I couldn’t texted her some of my battery power or tapped my phone to hers and approve a battery life transfer. Sending this thought to others who would know better how to make that a reality.

How to get GPU Energy cost in XCode?
My unity game is getting very hot quickly, So I use XCode Energy Impact to test the energy use for it on iPhone8. In Debugging Gauges, Click Energy impact, I can get the following data: CPU for 45%, Network for 10%, Overhead for 45%, Location for 0%, GPU for 0%. Location is OK because I don't use it. But Why GPU is 0%? Click FPS, My game run for FPS 60. CPU cost 16.6ms, GPU cost 5.2ms. I want to compare the energy consumption of CPU and GPU, but 0% for GPU is obvious wrong, how to fix it and get correct data? And, I can't find Energy Log or Energy diagnostics in Instruments, How can I find and use it?

m1 air battery capacity declining
My friend is facing an issue of Battery capacity declining. He is not a nerd, but I am trying to helping him out. In coconutbattery its showing 98.4% maximum capacity over hardly 10 cycles while in system report it shows 100% capacity. Please answers if you have researched or have find some solutions. Is coconut battery accurate than system report? Is it good if macbook get charged all the time? (to reduce cycle) the USB-C monitor charges the macbook slowly means the battery get reduce very slow. is it a good practice? I have heard if your battery reach 80% capacity before the warrenty expires, you will get free battery replacement. is it true in India? Even after at 80% capacity, how many hours we can use the laptop? No need to answer all the questions. Please use sequence number Here I am attaching 2 images of coconutbatter report and system battery report

Energy Saver profile not working as expected in MDM
After Energy Saver mobileconfig file with Display sleep time as 1 and System Sleep time as 2 successfully, and then when you change the settings in System Preference->Energy Saver manually. The time that was set manually takes effect instead of what MDM has set for MacBook Pro(Intel Chip tried in both Sierra as well as Monterey).

Mac shutdown cause
Hello, my Macbook Pro (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6) shuts down randomly when it still has battery, but says it doesn't have battery left. Then when I plug it, shows that it does have battery, which is very odd. I looked into the terminal, with the command: log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "Previous shutdown cause"' --last 24h to see which was the cause, and it appears:  Previous shutdown cause: -11 but I can't find anywhere what this means, does anyone know the meaning of -11? thank you.
