The event is titled, “Peek Performance”. The editor here at SA has made a mistake. ‘Peek’ as in look. Glasses or headset introduction? Maybe?

@StormanNorman what’re you using for a phone?

“Peak performance” what a name!! Does that mean it’s all downhill from now?

@mliu76400, that’s *not* the name of the event. It’s “Peek Performance.” Peek means to look quickly. Could that mean AR/VR glasses? We’ll know soon.

I have a 2020 Iphone SE, the battery lasts about 3 days if I never turn it on and only use it as an alarm.
"Peak performance"

@SeriousUsername re:”never turn it on” there’s a difference between standby/sleep and powered off/on. check what apps are enabled for background refresh
