That point is backed up by the fact that Apple’s more realistic wireless web test tells a very different story. In a more realistic test, the 14-inch MacBook Pro doesn’t beat the Air - those numbers didn’t make it onstage Plus, modern CPUs have so much silicon dedicated to video playback that it’s almost become effortless for them. That’s not generally what people use their laptops for unless they’re marathoning the Lord of the Rings extended cuts. For one, Apple says these figures are derived from watching a movie using the Apple TV app. But using video playback as a measure of battery life is really only useful if you’re trying to sell a particular narrative - not if you just want to let people know how long their laptops will actually last. In its keynote and press release, Apple says the 14-inch MacBook Pro will provide 17 hours of video playback and estimates that the 16-inch model can last for an unprecedented-for-Macs 21 hours. But the metric Apple used to back up that claim is a bit suspect, and its other numbers tell a very different story. But there’s one big question that comes with the new sizes and processors: how’s the battery life? To hear Apple tell it, it’s going to be great - the company even said onstage that the 16-inch had the best battery life ever, besting last year’s M1 Macs (which it also boasted would have the longest-lived batteries). Apple’s new MacBook Pros are here, and they may actually live up to the “Pro” moniker.
