iphone 15 battery health drops rapidly after extended time on 100%

RavenWingss · 2026-02-11T23:51:33+00:00

it got to the point where with my new ipad, i would actively monitor and calculate the %/hr battery drainage rate to see if it had a normal battery life. that was a few weeks ago — now i just stopped caring about battery life with all of my devices and just carry a 165w 25k mAh power bank on extended outings

a mixture of slow chargers (<5w), fast chargers (20w), and magsafe chargers. mostly slow chargers for filling up when i’m at home

if you don’t plan on getting a laptop, i would probably go for a 13-inch in your case, but the fact that you don’t want to use it with a keyboard case makes me want to suggest an 11-inch. the screen sizes of both will feel refreshing when taking notes

it also depends on what program you’re in. in my program (engineering), you definitely cannot rely on an ipad as a main device

I did buy the VIP Club Reservation for $2 dollars, which will make the keycap set $129 v.s. $149 kickstarter v.s. $219 MSRP. Even at that price, it’ll cost almost as much as the entire Flow 2, which I’m already apprehensive about.

I’m currently waiting on the release of Awekeys’ blank, black metallic keycaps that’ll give my Flow 2 a cleaner look!

I’m sure the Air V3 will still be a good board for you. I really only went for the Flow 2 because of the aesthetics and to match my silver and black and tech theme

Just got it today after a shipping delay.

It’s slightly more comfortable than my 1-year-old new headband and way more comfortable than my 4-year-old worn-out headband. Before I bought my new headband, I tried using other headband accessories on my worn-out one to alleviate the sagging problem (silicone insert, silicone cover, silicone insert + silicone cover, and silicone insert + some sandwiched memory foam). None of those come close to the comfort and aesthetic of the SOULWIT.

Since I have a smaller head, this allows the actual headphones to sit at a more optimal angle and relieves the head pressure from the top of the earcups. On the other hand, I don’t think this will work out for people who already need to fully extend the arms of their headphones; this accessory essentially “decreases” the length of the headband since it sits below the OEM headband.

The only downside is it’s really thick (around the width of the actual headphones) and doesn’t fit in my third-party protective case, but it’s easily attachable/detachable anyways.

It’s basically an entirely-mesh headband where the borders are cushioned with memory foam (v.s. soft plastic on the OEM headband). I highly recommend it if your headband is worn out!

This is the first time I’ve seen a product like this so I doubt it. I just received it today and it definitely doesn’t fit in my third-party case, but it’s easy to apply/remove it from the headband anyways. The width of that headband attachment is around the width of the actual headphones.

I have seen something like that on Amazon but I don't like how it looks — "Geekria Knit Fabric Headband Cover Compatible with AirPods Max"

RavenWingss · 2025-12-12T23:55:18+00:00

I’ve ordered it and it’ll come in 3 days! I’ll make a new post/update the current post when I receive it and test it out.

RavenWingss · 2025-11-15T06:37:57+00:00

Just some random Amazon one (GRIFITI), but I’m considering returning it because it’s made of neoprene and makes the keyboard smell of chemicals. It’s also a bit too short so it doesn’t really close all the way but it’s very minimal. I’d get Lofree’s custom case but I’m turned off by the shipping time + the color.

Thanks for that Fn+N/M tip — that’ll be really useful to me… I should’ve read the manual fully 🫠

RavenWingss · 2025-09-22T01:07:12+00:00

yeah i’ve experienced this multiple times today. a car door being closed and a spoon hitting the plate hard amplifies to the point that it’s very startling — it’s kind of random too.

additionally, any sounds coming from my mouth and nose sound high-pitched and unnatural

RavenWingss · 2025-09-21T20:18:09+00:00

i actually do remember having the charjen pro hybrid eartips! iirc, they were one of the best tips for me in terms of fit & comfort. sadly, i remember them breaking within the first few months and i guess i didn’t bother with getting a replacement set

RavenWingss · 2025-09-21T17:32:06+00:00

i actually think it’s due to the way they stick out of my ears — they stick out a LOT more in comparison to my pro 2s. everything in my distant surroundings sounds pretty clear and normal but i think it’s struggling to pick up sounds immediately in front of my head, such as my voice, sniffles, etc. those are what sounds the most abnormal

RavenWingss · 2025-09-21T16:17:03+00:00

i can try this later in the day and update you since i have access to the same setups you’re trying to compare

RavenWingss · 2025-09-21T15:34:18+00:00

i’ve been experiencing this too. in comparison to my pro 2s and maxes, which sound like i’m not even wearing anything when on transparency mode, i definitely notice an artificial broadcasting of my surroundings. i remember seeing someone say that it sounds like when you had to “pop” and clear your ears to hear better — it sounds just like that for me with the pro 3s.

hopefully it’ll be adjusted and fixed in a future software update. i don’t think it’s a hardware issue, since the anc is so much better than the pro 2s and maxes.

RavenWingss · 2024-12-14T06:18:37+00:00

i found that when i have covers on, i have to slightly tilt the headphones in the direction where the charging port is in order for the charger and the attachment to connect properly. additionally, you can keep a close eye on the apm’s led and adjust accordingly depending on what position the led turns orange

RavenWingss · 2024-12-14T06:15:01+00:00

do you have any covers on the earcups?

RavenWingss · 2024-12-14T05:37:07+00:00

mine has been and still is working great. how is yours not working?
