Re: Strange Battery notices on my iPhone 6S ?

Wow that sure is some experience, you lucky devil Tim!
I would probably be terrified that the Walrus eyeballing me from a metre away 
was going to grab my iPhone...

 Hi Ronni.
 I just checked my 6S and note that Peak Performance Management is enabled.
 I guess since the first time it switched off.
 Does not appear to have prevented shut downs though.

 Still need to check my wife’s iPhone 5.

Re: Strange Battery notices on my iPhone 6S ?

[Stephen Chape]

Thank Ronni.
My 6S has stayed on for a week now.
Just means it needs charging a little more often.

But I will ask at the Apple Store anyway.
It is as though battery level is read incorrectly by iOS at startup.

Re: Strange Battery notices on my iPhone 6S ?

[Tim Law]

Ronni I’ve just been in the high Arctic, in a boat for ten days around Svalbard.

Somehow I didn’t get FOMO when surrounded by mountains, ice, polar bears and 
touching distance of a walrus who was eyeballing me from a metre away. Those 
experiences surpassed everything technology could give me.

I quite surprised my family by not going all jittery 😬

Re: Strange Battery notices on my iPhone 6S ?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Stephen,

In Settings > Battery >Battery Health (Beta) did you click on ‘Learn more...’ & 
read?

On my iPhone 7Plus 128GB  - Battery Health (Beta) Maximum Capacity 100% and 
‘Peak Performance Capability. 
My iPhone is NEVER turned off, neither are my iPad and Computers... they sleep!

Steve Jobs was a fan of eliminating an on/off switch from the iPhone (not 
offering it even in the initial model).
Steve’s words by the author of his book, & I Quote/:
"Maybe it's 'cos I want to believe in an afterlife," he recalled Mr Jobs 
saying. "That when you die, it doesn't just all disappear. The wisdom you've 
accumulated. Somehow it lives on. 
"But sometimes I think it's just like an on-off switch. Click and you're gone. 

"And that's why I don't like putting on-off switches on Apple devices." 
 /End Quote

Many Apple products, such as the iPhone and the MacBook, were designed to be 
put on standby or "to sleep" when not in use, some feature a pulsating light to 
signal that they can quickly be revived.

Cheers,

Ronni

Re: Strange Battery notices on my iPhone 6S ?

[Tim Law]

Stephen I followed the prompts in Battery Health (Beta) and found the process 
in the iPhone 6S to inform me of the need for a battery replacement flowed 
smoothly to booking a time and a very well informed an easy experience at the 
city Apple Store.

The worst part was that empty and and confused feeling being off the grid for 
the two hours the repair took, so I had a beer and burger in Kings Park to calm 
 the FOMO!

Re: Strange Battery notices on my iPhone 6S ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi Ronni.
I just checked my 6S and note that Peak Performance Management is enabled.
I guess since the first time it switched off.
Does not appear to have prevented shut downs though.

Next time in Perth I shall visit the Gurus me thinks.

Still need to check my wife’s iPhone 5.

Apple Announces Service Program for Butterfly-Switch Keyboards

[Ronda Brown]

/Begin Quote:
Apple has announced a service program for all MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops 
with butterfly-switch keyboards. The announcement lists every model that’s 
covered, but the short answer is “every Mac laptop to date with a USB-C port,” 
meaning 12-inch MacBooks since 2015 and MacBook Pros since 2016.

Many people dislike the feel of the butterfly keyboard, with its minimal key 
travel, but the problem here is how much more susceptible they are to dust 
particles than those in previous Mac laptops, leading to more sticky and dead 
keys. AppleInsider recently calculated that the 2016 MacBook Pro butterfly 
keyboards fail twice as frequently as those in older models.

Combine that with a possible $700 charge for repair outside of warranty and 
AppleCare—since the keyboard is built into the MacBook and MacBook Pro bottom 
case and can’t be swapped out—and it’s little wonder that there is a lawsuit in 
progress (see “Class-Action Suit Filed against Apple for MacBook Butterfly 
Keyboards,” 16 May 2018).
