Battery health dropped 6% in two months — normal or worth a service visit? [Test copy 19-18760]
16-inch, bought in March, mostly plugged in at a desk. Cycle count is only 74. Is leaving it at 100% all day the culprit?

iPadOS has improved a lot, but macOS still feels more flexible for many tasks. Which one do you prefer when you need to get real work done?

Apple’s Mac mini page made me wonder who it is actually for
apple.com
Do it all with the ultracompact Mac mini with M6 or M5 Pro. A powerful platform for AI. Front and back ports. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.

Do I actually need to pay for apps on Mac or is the free stuff fine
New to Mac and I keep seeing people recommend apps that cost money for things that feel like they should be built in already. Window snapping, clipboard history, that kind of thing. Is this normal on Mac or am I looking …
