∞ Apple Fixes MacBook Pro Battery Life By Removing Time Estimate
Marco on the macOS time-remaining indicator:
Well, I’ve always found the time-remaining indicator pretty accurate. Just last night, I brought my 100%-charged laptop to the couch to order some nuts and browse the web for a while, and it reported about 5 hours remaining. After just over an hour, the battery was down to 77%, and it estimated that I had about 4 hours remaining.
Although I don't find the indicator accurate, my reaction to this change in macOS 10.12.2 is the same here.
Sure, it is not real remaining time. But that's an estimation. That has always been an estimation. That is a very useful estimation. Bring it back, Apple!
