Apple gets bashed every time they release something, remember everyone making fun of the iPad, or even the iPhone?

> reduced the size of the internal battery by 30%

I'll talk about that. Keep the battery the same damn size and give us more battery life.

> effectively added a second screen

Plenty of people have been talking about the touch bar.

> improved overall performance

If it didn't do that the world would have a new source of non-coal energy, Mac fans screaming at the top of their lungs!

What Apple lacks is the moment is coherency. The iPhone comes with a headset and charging cable that won't work with a Mac. When I plugged my earphones+remote into an iMac and the remote worked, that was magical. This is just silly.

The Mac Pro was resurrected and promptly abandoned. iMacs are MIA. Apple stuff doesn't work with other Apple stuff. More "it just works" please.



GP is raising attention to the fact that battery life hasn't decreased, not that people aren't paying attention to the other features. Sure, people talk about the smaller battery, screen, and performance increases. But it's an achievement that these were added without absolutely gutting the MacBooks' battery life.


What? Battery life has decreased considerably. People and tests show exactly that. I don't think there's any testing that shows that battery life is the same as in the 2015 model.

Even this article:

> It’s also in line with people reporting that under high load the new MBP lasts a shorter amount of time than the earlier models.
