[MacTUG] iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura arrive on October 24th and new iPad, iPad Pro, and Apple TV

[Jim Johnston]

The new iPad announcement is up in the Apple store now, and available on the 26th.

https://www.apple.com/ipad-10.9/

Probably other announcements scattered across the Store as well.

I send people here with older devices and especially battery replacements
No one has complained – BUT that isn’t any endorsement

iFixit sells replacement batteries and the tools needed to replace them.

https://canada.ifixit.com/products/macbook-air-13-late-2010-2017-replacement-battery

It looks like the battery on that model is very easy to swap.  Only 5 screws after removing the bottom cover.  No glue or other nonsense like you would find on the later MacBook Pros.

Mike,

Your MacBook battery needs replacing. However being a 2013 model I think you would be looking at a 3rd party one as Apple no longer likely services that model. It would also mean finding a non-Apple service place to replace it.

You can check out your battery’s condition via the battery icon. I see from the screen capture that my MacBook (2018) is also in need of a new battery, but Apple will replace it.

That would explain why when I was trying to price out a new laptop this morning, the Store told me to piss off, they were working on it. My 2013 Air now not only has a 30 second to 5 minute battery life, it refuses to charge past about 80% now, which I'm thinking isn't ideal for the laptop's medium-term health prospects. Of course, I don't really _need_ a laptop, but it does come in handy sometimes.

Anybody have any advice on that? I'm thinking the battery itself is pranged, and replacing it is probably technically *possible* but... at the end of the day, I don't want to put Linux or Windows on it and it won't support anything past Big Sur anyway, so I'm thinking I squeeze it for as much longer as it has and then buy new.

Mike

The subject basically says it.
