That forced Apple to remove the information about the Mac from macOS 10.12.2
Recently, Mac users have updated to macOS 10.12.2. This version brought support for the new Emoji, improvements in the GPU and various fixes and improvements to stability and security. I would like to stop, but the update not only brought new opportunities, but also took old. MacBook on macOS 10.12.2 no longer show estimated time of battery life.
If you haven’t updated, you can click on the battery icon in the menu bar, and see the estimated remaining time of the laptop from the battery, if it is not connected to the power supply. This possibility has long existed, and it was available in the first versions of macOS Sierra. However, in macOS, Sierra 10.12.2 Apple decided to get rid of it.
Of course, such a decision has an explanation. Official review Apple did not give, however, The Loop has information after talking with their sources in the Apple. The assumption of this edition sounds quite plausible. The fact is that in rare cases, the estimated time remaining, battery life had something in common with reality.
According to Jim Dalrymple of The Loop, looking at the time left work, we did not get the real picture, as we are constantly different use your Mac. If the computer tells us that he is ready to work from the battery for another 3 hours, most likely, for this time there will be processes that may be invisible to the user, but which will affect the energy consumption. These processes include iCloud syncing, indexing Spotlight and various third-party applications.
Yes, it was not a problem for all Mac users for a long time. However, we know how much attention Apple pays to detail in the work on the MacBook. If the company gives us some information, users need to be confident in its accuracy. In case the remaining operation time of the computer battery Apple is not ready to guarantee accuracy. Apparently, the company thought it better not to give any information than to give false.
