I would have gone with computing current estimated battery life based on current power consumption over current remaining charge. But then I'm just a pleb, what would I know?

Stops em complaining though...

Maybe it was the battery life indicator that was shortening the battery life ?

I'd be genuinely shocked they could screw up that hard on such a trivial feature.

That is why they give you a power cord...haha

This is for your own good, so that you do not stress too much.

Apple Care(s), right?

Well, they screwed up on the removal of the MagSafe connector...

Hahahaha this is such an Apple way of dealing with a complaint.

"we've had complaints about less-than-stellar battery life boss, what shall we do?"

"fix it? nah, remove battery estimate indicator"

Because the plebs don't have watches, clocks, smartphones or any other way of measuring how long their laptop lasted before needing its charger plugged in... so now they won't know, unless maybe they have a sundial... but it's Winter in the northern hemisphere so problem averted for 3 months!

I get BLM now. Battery life matters.

Dumb fruit company. Dumb fruit fans.
