Maybe the battery is failing?

If Person A loses 1% over a week in standby, and person B loses 20% overnight, it's probably not the battery..

Unless Person B also tells you that in general their air pods only last 30 minutes playing music.

As stated, their percentage of power level fall vs person A is 2000% more being generous (person A said a week, not a night). If it was because of the battery, the air pods would also last way way way less playing music.

You're right. Its definitely the Person.

Except when lithium batteries get old they start to lose double digit percentages in a couple hours. My experience anyway.

Yet when you actually use them, they retain basic the same energy capacity???

Could be either/or. I long ago lost the brassiere that came with my AirPods Max (not really lost, I just can’t be arsed to dig it out of where I think it is) and they’ll drain themselves fairly quickly just trying to throw out stray connections to any of the five or so devices they can connect to unless I make a point of disconnecting them. AirPods Pro exhibit the same exact symptoms when the contact inside the case needs to be cleaned.

I can’t work this out. Is this an autocorrect?

Nope.

A joke about a missing bra, a pair of AirPods, and a wiiiild pair of breasts

Please don’t turn this place into Reddit.

My airpods need a small piece of tissue in the top on one side or they don't charge. Could be a tolerance issue.

There’s a magnetic contact that the “bra” case engages that turns off the headphones so the battery doesn’t needlessly drain. Bunch of companies make after market cases/covers, you should get one of them at least.

I am aware of how it works, that's why I front-loaded the part about the brassiere being MIA at the moment. I just don't care, and I don't take it outside except on the airplane. Next flight I have, I'll probably dig out the brassiere.

Also in my experience, the brassiere was never perfect about guaranteeing the AirPods Max were put perfectly into a sleep state. The same exact issue could sometimes occur, maybe an alignment issue. The AirPods Max sound fantastic, but there's a lot of little details about them where Apple just kind of dropped the ball.

It's an iOS bug. It happens now and then for me, and when it happens it drains all the battery juice. Still no fix to this date.

could you link the bugreport or sth pls. apple has such weird bugs. on my iphone if i set an alarm and late at night i decide to tell siri to put another alarm she deletes the first one. did miss some flights because of that. and sometimes it doesnt ring at all. have a analog alarm for that now.

Apple doesn’t do public bug reports

Apple officially doesn’t, but the community does…

Apple doesn’t really care about bugs. They’ll get fixed if and when they feel like it.

It'll get fixed if they think it'll result in a lost sale. As they are effectively a vendor monopoly, this probably won't happen.

what a bubble to live in

My Apple Watch regularly gets burning hot and drains the battery. Sometimes overnight, sometimes during the day. Very annoying. Reset several times, Apple Care was of no help, no fix to this date either. Only way to alleviate is to reboot the Watch.

This is since the existence of software and is going to stay with us until most people is ok to have 1/3rd of the features for the same kind of money. This will never happen, so bugs are here to stay.

The fact that software is buggy is not the customer's fault any more than food poisoning is the fault of people who eat too much.

If you restrict your diet & make sure to properly cook your food you can greatly reduce your frequency of food poisoning

That wasn’t their point and I’m hesitating to believe you actually think it was.

This is like blaming people for not locking their door after they’ve been robbed. Yeah, they should have locked their door. But the person who actually did wrong is the person who robbed them.

Blaming somebody for not taking extra steps to reduce the chances of something happening to them that is ultimately the fault of another party is not right.

I don't agree with this at all. It is possible to both be in the wrong _and_ not be the villain. If I am dressed to the 9s, wearing expensive jewelry, carrying a lot of money.... and then I want down dark alleys.... and I get mugged; I am not the bad guy, the mugger is. But I'm also partially to blame, because I knowingly took actions that increased the likelihood of me being mugged.

Our society has elements that will harm us. It is up to us to take action to reduce the likelihood of that happening.

Pointing out that there are ways to reduce risk of something bad happening does not excuse the fault of a perpetrator. Neither is it victim blaming. This is particularly true when having a bad thing happen to you could occur without any individual acting intentionally, such as is the case with food poisoning.

It’s not the individuals fault on their own, but the market absolutely reflects societies tolerance of bugs and crashes. Microsoft started boiling that frog decades ago.

It's defective. They need to fix it or replace it.

I get this if I use a usb c extension

> "It's an iOS bug"

How did you determine it's an iOS bug?

I love the airpods but ah... they dont play well with any kind of metal work. If you do metal work with a file the shavings get everywhere and once they stick to the magnet its almost impossible to get them out. I guess this is a very unusual edge case though but thought id post it. lmao.

Do you reckon a high psi stream of compressed air would remove the shavings? ie from an air compressor or similar

Probably would need to be careful not to damage the microphones.

Might I recommend something like IsoTunes? Far better product to use in a work environment where you might need to hear something going wrong.

Iron age problems. Wasn’t a problem in the good ‘ol bronze age.

I use tape, or bluetack. Bluetack is easiest for the external connectors, but a wodge of tape, properly manipulated, can get the internal ones. Can be a bit of a pain, but it's never not worked.
