Apple has removed battery time estimates in a new Mac OS update, conveniently after widespread complaints of low battery life on the MacBook Pro.

WOW.. hahahaha

This is similar to the game I play with my niece.
If I put my hands over my face, I'm no longer in the room.
If I put my hands over her face, she is now invisible.

Well played Apple. Extremely lacking hardware aside, I don't imagine
any mobile user would EVER want to know how much longer they can work
or view cat videos before the screen winks out.

iPhone 7 already has no battery life , or at least not comparable to what other "normal" phones get

They're not removing it entirely - The percentage stays but the predicted hours left goes.

I look at my Samsung phone the same way - when it says 4 days on standby or whatever I just laugh because I know it's B.S.

 

[Warchild]

Well the reason is because they claim the predicted hours was completely incorrect.

Battery bar shows full but predicted time stated 15mins for example. Its a temporary removal from what I understand. A funny yet bad timed thing to remove considering the complaints. But I guess it will be back when its fixed.

Guys why such a flame, % of battery still exists, maybe estimate in time was way too inaccurate and it failed to be useful. Great they are removing something instead of ignoring and stuffing in even more.

Well customers have asked for it to be fixed. Apple respond in the update by removing it and not announcing doing so. That is not good practise.

People do use the estimated time. It is more useful than a battery % in my eyes. It will get added eventually, it has been available on previous versions after all.

The battery time estimate on my lenovo laptop works fine, I'm sure apple could have fixed it...

Serves you right for buying an Apple PoS

On what grounds are you making this claim? Do you own an 7 yourself? And what other "normal" phones are you referring to here exactly?...

I get 5 days from my Lumia, 3 days with average use, Facebook, web browsing ect.

 

[jimma47]

One full day on my Galaxy 7 - it's down to under 15% when I plug it in at night and my partner has between 10-50% left on her iPhone 7 when she goes to bed.

iPhone battery life had always been crap Chrazey. I know several people with 6/6s and 7 and most of the time they charge twice a day.
My Nexus 5x, a whole day of usage from 100% on my normal usage(FB using mobile data(which is very battery consuming) and heavy goolging)and I'm usually left with 20-30% depending on how long I'm not home. If I go light usage, I can go 2 whole days without much worry even if I am not fully charged.

My friends Nexus 6P, has the best battery life I've ever seen from a phone. It goes 2 days on heavy usage. Extremely impressive.

 

[Thelosouvlakia]

Indeed, I have a Xiaomi note4 my friend has an iPhone 6s. Since we spend a lot of time in the University we both use heavily our phones, she always uses her powerbank mid-day while I've got juice for about one more day

well coming from someone who works with phones and hates apple phones with a vengeance. I can definately claim that there is nothing wrong with the iP7 battery. Its outstanding compared to others. I test phones and software builds very often.

So claiming that the iphone 7 has no battery really is just false. The ones who claim this are often heavy snapchat users.

best ones though, probably the nexus 6, galaxy 7. Nexus is just on another level with battery utilisation. I'm looking forward to playing with googles pixel too.

Also testing the latest iphone software with a changed build for volte and saw improvements there too.
