    Hi MIke, I’ll send you an email on this as well, but with Sequoia 15.7 (I didn’t check earlier), clicking the bluetooth symbol in the menu bar WHILE THE APPLE KEYBOARD IS PLUGGED IN AND CHARGING will show the battery level with a greyed out look and the lightning symbol for charging across the number showing the level. I loved this show. When I had to ditch the two 27″ iMacs (Agree with you 24″ is too small) I DID rebuild my ecosystem from scratch as you know. Mac mini (big not the new one), Apple Display, OWC dock with HD and SSD inside, MacBook Air with OWC Dock for more ports and a slew of belt and braces external drives for Time Machine and Carbon Copy cloner activity. Love my iPad mini 6 but do not need the newest with apple intelligence features. Still on iPhone 14 the two of us so not replaced, assume the Elephant didn’t sit on those iPhones and the iPad. Oh and a great honking 15 TB WD external HD just to make more back ups of my photos. It was more expensive than your $4-5,000 on the show.
