Life update.
My apologies to my consistent readers out there, as I have been inconsistent at certain times, one of them being right now. Life throws curveballs at you when you least expect it, and when we had our daughter back in January, it was a curveball we didn’t expect.
Our daughter was born with many health issues, including a cleft lip, a cleft in her epiglottis causing aspiration issues, visual impairment, and brain tissue anomalies along with a weakened pituitary gland, meaning she doesn’t produce enough growth hormone. You would think with all these conditions she would be like a vegetable, but thankfully with God’s grace she is still very active and a cute little button that brings joy into our lives. She’s doing much better.
We’ve been in and out of the hospital several times over the course of the past year, with countless doctor visits and home nurse visits. It takes a toll on a person to deal with these issues, and it also brings perspective into one’s life and a sense of higher purpose. Thankfully my daughter is doing well, and things are looking optimistic.
That being said, I will continue to talk about Apple, cars, and technology, but also throwing in other topics that I hope benefits others that have a serious focus on faith and family life.
I understand this might not be your cup of tea, but it’s something that really means a lot to me, and part of me fulfilling a higher purpose. If anything, you can be more assured that the advice I provide will be genuine since at the end of the day, I will have to answer to God and I have to make sure I was not deceiving anyone regardless of their faith.
Stay tuned for even more value continuing onwards, beyond just tech insights.

How to check the battery life of all your family’s Apple devices.
Find My is a great tool not only for finding out the location of your loved ones, devices, and items, but also a great way to make sure everyone in your family has topped off their iPhone before they head out of the house.
Indispensable for family road trips or in any case where people are going to split up. 📓

Your iPhone by default tells you the exact battery life of your AirPods and Apple Watch, but with Find My, you can see the battery life of all your family’s iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches. It is an approximation because you get a battery bar without a percentage, but it is pretty accurate if you’re a pro at estimating the battery bar health.
In order to check battery percentages, you would have to add them via Family Sharing.
Go to Settings > Tap on your name > Family > Add family member (logo on top right).
Once you add family members, make sure Location Sharing is turned ON. Now all family members can see everyone’s device location and battery percentage.
To see the battery percentages, go to Find My > Devices > and pick any device (that’s not AirPods) to see its battery life.
A few things to know when trying to visualize battery percentages:
The other devices have to be turned ON and have to be unlocked initially to gather the battery status. After that you can monitor battery life until the device dies or is turned OFF, which requires the process to be repeated.
It doesn’t tell you the battery life of other people’s AirPods probably because it does not have Wi-Fi or maybe because it doesn’t have an advanced processor like the other devices.
You also get charging status, so if a device is charging, you will know.
This will work on even your old Intel MacBooks (works with my 2013 MacBook Pro!).
I cross-referenced the battery indicator with the actual percentages on the devices. Very accurate.
