    Mine says it's at 93% capacity, and I acquired my iPhone 14 Pro in September 2022. So it's less than 1 year old. I have noticed that at the end of the day I have to charge it where it used to make it through the day without a second thought. I'm not sure what changed, but something is really dragging on the battery, so if a bunch of other people are experiencing the same thing then yeah, sounds like there's a problem.
    Like the article says, Apple expects about 10% per year. You're doing slightly better than the average of what Apple expects and plans for.

    There are loads of variables as it pertains to battery charging and life, and most of them are outside of the user's control. Some of them are even outside of Apple's control.
    10% per year seems quite a lot to me as my four-and-a-half year old XS Max is at 79%.
    Right, that's why the bell curve concept as discussed in the text exists. Some will be over that 10% per year, some will be under. Some will take five years to hit 80%, some will take less than a year.

    Seems like a repeat of battery gate again. 
    I don't think I see the parallel.

  • Can I use 65W charger for MBA M2?

    Mike WuertheleMike Wuerthele
    Yes. You can use a 5w charger if you want — it just won’t give you much power.

    And regarding speed — the biggest factor in that is how much power your machine is using while charging.

    Did you try any of the environments? If so, were they impressive? Were you able to walk around within them? They mentioned they’re captured volumetrically and showed some camera motions that made it appear as if you can sorta move within them. 
    This feature does not work yet. The test app I used was moving around in a space to learn how to operate the machinery, but I don't believe that's what you're talking about.

    Did you get any sense of how the camera performs in dim light or at night? I have retinitis pigmentosa and can't see at night or in dim light, but i have always been able to see using the iPhone screen. How is the vision pro?

    and were you able to walk around while wearing it?
    No idea on the camera. Vision Pro doesn't get as bright as an iPhone screen when HDR is invoked for media, but I don't think you're going to have a problem using it.

    The test case with the machinery as discussed in the piece required walking around.
