I thought having some way of knowing "how long can I keep doing the thing I'm currently doing" is basic functionality you'd expect in a laptop (or any powered device, phone, camera, gps/navigation, etc.)
- alyandon 10y agoIt is basic functionality until it results in bad PR for Apple. :-D Seriously though, it's pretty insulting to their users to think that removing a basic feature like this is somehow going to change the perceptions about the battery life of the 2016 MBP.
- jimmaswell 10y agoWhen's the last time Apple introduced a useful feature instead of removing one?
- slantyyz 10y agoWell, you can still base it on the % indicator for the battery. It may not tell you a time, but those times have always been a guess at best.
- guitarbill 10y agoActually, I guess you're right. All the other examples I listed usually only show %. Still, previously I've found the time estimates to be pretty accurate.
- joevandyk 10y agoThe problem as I understand it is that the "thing you are currently doing" is constantly changing due to changing processors, increasing and decreasing network sync activity, and so on.
