Some users of Apple’s newest MacBook Pros aren’t happy with their battery life. Though the Apple Support Communities forums, Twitter, and other message boards will necessarily amplify complaints, it does seem fairly common for users of the Touch Bar model in particular to see battery life that falls short of Apple’s 10-hour estimates for Web browsing and movie playback.

Apple called extra attention to the issue yesterday in the newest macOS Sierra update, not by fixing it but by removing the “time remaining” estimate that some users had been sharing to demonstrate the battery problems they were having. The accuracy of that battery estimate aside—and it was always more useful as a “rate of battery drain” indicator than as an actual time estimate—it looks like a superficial solution designed to solve a PR problem rather than an earnest effort to fix anything.

Anecdotal reports since the 10.12.2 update hit have suggested that the update could improve battery life, but I don’t think this is the case—Apple told us repeatedly and emphatically that it had taken no specific steps to improve MacBook Pro battery life in this update. According to Apple’s data, the company said the batteries appeared to be performing as intended.
