  • You’re probably right as that happened with my first AirPods Pro. Complained early about a problem and then eventually they did replacement program.

    Similar thing happened earlier with the iPhone 6 battery problem. I had severe battery degradation not even 12 months in and it was shutting down. Apple said unless it was under 80% they wouldn’t change it. Eventually changed the battery myself then after two years they did a battery replacement program for it

    My current iPhone 14 pro is having similar kind of problem. Not even 12 months in and I’m down to 87% battery …… and I’m sure the usual reply will be you are using your phone too much. No I’m not the phone was at 100%for months then I had an update and ever since then I’ve watched the battery lose percentage points each week.















  • Everything I’ve had over the years is homekit related. I purchased a HomePod mini for the thread integration and then on offer on prime last year and this year updated a few plugs sensors and climate from eve for the thread router to extend around the house. It’s a mis mash of older homekit and new thread, it all seems to work until recently when an eve update knocked everything out so had to unplug all my HomePods ands Apple TV, basically anything that could be a Homebase to try and reset. (I never knew to try this until eve support told me, I was resetting individual devices thinking it was them only)
    The eve thread devices now have the option of an upgrade to matter in the app and I honestly don’t think I want to go through all the hassle as you just no it’s going to break the system.

    Maybe later on I’ll change them over when there’s improvement, but there really is no point unless I wanted to use them on another system or sell them.


  • I use voice control on my indoor rower.
    I have an nfc sticker on the side of the rower display unit.
    I tap phone with that it triggers my shortcut that then turns on voice control and also opens the concept2 rower app I can then row and not stop to fiddle around with phone and speak the controls to my phone.

    Once you get an idea of the common voice commands and navigation or say what you want it’s an amazing tool to use. 👍
