Consumer Reports is out with an updated report (http://www.consumerreports.org/apple/consumer-reports-**w-recommends-macbook-pros/) on the 2016 MacBook Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/), and following retesting, the magazine is **w recommending Apple's latest **tebooks.
In the new test, conducted running a beta version of macOS that fixes the Safari-related bug that caused erratic battery life in the original test, all three MacBook Pro models "performed well."
The 13-inch model without a Touch Bar had an average battery life of 18.75 hours, the 13-inch model with a Touch Bar lasted for 15.25 hours on average, and the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar had an average battery life of 17.25 hours.**w that we've factored in the new battery-life measurements, the laptops' overall scores have risen, and all three machines **w fall well within the recommended range in Consumer Reports ratings.Consumer Reports originally denied (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/22/macbook-pro-**-consumer-report-recommendation/) the 2016 MacBook Pro a purchase recommendation in late December due to extreme battery life variance that didn't match up with Apple's 10 hour battery life claim.
Apple worked with Consumer Reports (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/23/phil-schiller-consumer-reports-macbook-pro-test/) to figure out why the magazine encountered battery life issues, which led to the discovery of an obscure Safari caching bug. Consumer Reports used a developer setting to turn off Safari caching, triggering an "obscure and intermittent bug reloading icons" that drained excessive battery.
The bug, fixed by Apple in macOS Sierra (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-sierra/) 10.12.3 beta 3, is **t one the average user will encounter as most people don't turn off the Safari caching option, but it's something done in all Consumer Reports tests to ensure uniform testing conditions. A fix for the issue will be available to the general public when macOS Sierra 10.12.3 is released, but users can get it **w by signing up for Apple's beta testing program.
Each of the three 2016 MacBook Pro models, including the 13-inch MacBook Pro without Touch Bar, and the 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pro models with Touch Bars, are advertised as achieving 10 hours of battery life on a single charge when watching iTunes ****** or browsing the web.
Real life Battery usage can vary significantly, however, based on factors like screen brightness and the applications being used.
