Apple hit by more laptop battery problems

Another laptop battery problem has hit Apple. This time the problem, in MacBook and MacBook Pro lines, is not said to pose a fire hazard. Apple recalled 1.8m laptop batteries manufactured by Sony last year because they posed a fire hazard, an exercise that also had to be followed by other major laptop manufacturers.

The latest problem involves laptop batteries not charging properly from a power outlet, and other symptoms. Apple said it "has recently discovered that some batteries used in its MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks may have battery performance issues. Apple is offering a software update that is designed to improve battery performance". Apple added, "The factors causing the performance issues do not present a safety risk. You may continue to use your current battery."

i dont know i was wondering the same thing... but i didnt write the news... i just posted it. my guess would be NOT sony, cuz why would they [apple] buy more batteries from them [sony] after the whole fire/exploding thing... but who knows maybe they did.

If it's a Mac Book Pro it should use a Sony battery with Apple badging on it.

Remember the old iPod battery issue? Sony made those as well.

Apple needs a new battery supplier.

I'm guessing if it had been Sony, someone would have yelled it out from the top of the Empire State building by now.

I guess we'll know soon enough.

My powerbook's battery already can't hold any longer after reach 60%, it will drop to 0%

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
