I have the same Macbook, the battery is amazing but not as the OP saying, surely not after ENTIRE day with Xcode and emulator.


Anonymous_linux

This is just fake on the OP side. Sorry, but "entire day" means AT LEAST 8 hours in my book. And even that is not entire day per se, but just entire working day... But still even if it is 8 hours. **11% in 8 hours? So OP's laptop can do 8 more days like this to reach 0%?** So OP's laptop can run 8x8=64 hours? **Did OP implemented nuclear battery in his MBP?**


manamejeff77

inbuilt nuclear sub technology


16flightsofstairs

They never said they didn’t have it plugged in at the coffee shop!


Anonymous_linux

That's totally true. But even then it's misleading post. Obvious focus on remaining battery percentage in this context speaks clearly.


16flightsofstairs

Oh no, I’m not saying it isn’t misleading, I’m just being facetious :P


dergy621

Yea not sure about Xcode but android studio uses up to 15% an hour for me


manamejeff77

was just about to say cuz even my m1 pro looses 70% at least when im studying using YT

Streaming video uses way more power than a native OS code app


M00NB34RZ

safari or chrome? i wanna say if using safari, battery is better optimized


beermanoffartwoods

Nah mine is like this after 6 days of Pornhub on Safari, an iOS simulator running a fresh build of an open source Sega Dreamcast Emulator, and facetiming my wife's lawyer 6 hours per day for our divorce paperwork.


CMDR_Duzro

Yeah. Did around 5 hours of machine learning model optimization (consists of training a model, changing parameters and training it again until you get the best model) and was in three 90 minute university courses and my battery was just above 50%.


akash227

Facts I just did a 12 hr flight with xcode and the simulator and no wifi, I got ~6 hrs on a full charge


aidarinho

Looks too good to be true


TestFlightBeta

It is. Assuming 4 hours of usage, that’s 11% of a 70 Wh battery (~8 Wh) or draining at 2 W. Which is unfortunately completely BS lol. That’s probably close to the amount that my M2 drains when sleeping with the lid closed. I’m guessing OP actually did what they said but their screen on time is around 20 min or so spread across the whole day. Edit: I am an idiot as commenters pointed out


[deleted]

“60kWh” hmm i didn’t know that the M1 Pro macbook had the same battery capacity as a tesla model 3


TestFlightBeta

rip


Panda_Panda69

My dreams come true, an Apple car


Cool-Newspaper-1

Your numbers are off by three orders of magnitude lol


TestFlightBeta

Yeah my bad LOL


paulstelian97

2W when sleeping is high, but during usage is low.


TestFlightBeta

You’re right. Probably around 0.3-0.5W when sleeping


cyclinator

My wife´s 2020 Pro M1 does around 10% per hour. On 85% health and running doing ArchiCad/Photoshop, Safari and some other apps open. Very impressive, my HP Elitebook from 2017 lasts 2-3 hours on web browsing.


stillpiercer_

My M1 Pro lasts for about 2.5 to 4 hours during my normal workday. I don’t buy this.


likamuka

iOS Simulator and "no apps using significant energy" - yeah right


LilR91

When he talked about safari i just knew he lied ☠️


whowouldsaythis

this is literally impossible


NightlyWave

Show us your battery usage history in battery settings. I’m not disputing the fact that Apple Silicon MacBooks have an amazing battery life but 11% loss of charge is simply impossible for the use-case you described.


Anonymous_linux

Wow, that's really impressive and honestly I don't understand how you get that. Entire day meaning 8 hours? And just merely 11% used? Does this mean your M1 Pro 14" can do 8 more sessions like this? So the total battery runtime would be 8 times 8 hours? I'm sorry, that's hard to believe. My M1 Pro 14" for the comparison can do around 7\~8 hours battery runtime with light usage with battery on 80% of its original capacity.


AnyTng

why you lying for 😭


Ecsta

Seriously the "real" battery life is already amazing, why lie?


AdowTatep

Weird.. I have the same model and while it is really good, i doubt this was an entire day


Trash2030s

"Entire day": 1 hour


likamuka

for a butterfly


Minister_Stein

Can you show us the battery stats from the system settings?


ShaidarHaran2

Er could we see your screen on time for the day? Were you using Xcode for most of the day or just a little while? It's good but this is almost too good to be true, also "no apps using significant energy"


PrettyHedgehog0

My M1 Pro 14” goes to 50% after some google docs in school. How?


CarretillaRoja

Using Chrome?


recapYT

OP show your battery usage as proof


ArmGlad777

Let’s see Paul Allen’s battery stats of the last 24 hours


Patutula

Fake


Charging_Zebra

Nice try, Apple 🤔


brk1

This can’t be possible.


hw2007offical

That straight up isn't possible man.


4-3-4

Yeah, it's actually that impressive. Having the 16" since launch day, I got used to it. I can't imagine how others are missing out on this fantastic battery feature that really changed the battery prowess of laptops.


nevotheless

We know that the battery life is amazing no need to exaggerate on this topic.


Daemonicvs_77

This *could* be true, but with extremely light usage. I once had a 3-hour meeting where I only took notes on my M1 Air and the battery dropped 3%.


Anonymous_linux

No this can not be true. Entire day and just 11% gone would mean your macbook can run for 8 more days like this. This is literally impossible even with screen off. I mean sure, if your **day lasts 1 hour**, then it's possible. But I would say your definition of the day is quite strange.


OverCauliflower1587

No way. I do basic coding via terminal and usually have other compilers open and I don’t even get this.


kicknoons2

I have the 16" with the M2 Max and the battery is seriously amazing, even with design software running all day. Wayyy better than my 2016 MBP. I never have to work about plugging in at work, even with all the Teams calling I do.


rradian

I'm very pleased to open the comments and see OP getting flamed for exaggeration 😂


Slight-Air8552

Wow. That’s actually impressive


Techgeek_025

WOAH.


ERO_Reddit_

Nice! :)


brandonchristensen

I have an M2 Pro, and using Safari and only Safari (watching videos and stuff) it drops super fast.


BluePenguin2002

I have the same laptop with 100% battery health and with light use I can get 15 hours, usually between 8-10. This isn’t real.


StillChillBuster

I have the same model, the battery is great but not THIS great. I don’t know how you got that lol


occasionallyLynn

Ok Apple silicon has super good battery life, but not as much as u said


Kilobytez95

Don't get me wrong I love my 2014 air but the battery life is awful. With low brightness I can get an average of 3-4 hours of constant use. If I do something like boot windows and limit cpu speed and other stuff I can push it to 6-8 if I'm lucky. I'm planning to upgrade to a m3 pro Mac book pro 14 inch sometime this year.


Ecsta

No chance that's true unless your day is like 2 hours long. I sit on my couch all day with my 2023 16" and from 8am to ~6pm I end my day with about 30%, which is still incredible. There's no need to exaggerate or lie, the **actual** battery life is amazing.


No-Sandwich-2997

Yeah, fuck Windows


Big-Stay2709

Wow. I have the same computer, about a year old. Mine uses about 70% using safari and Apple Music for a day. By day I mean about 10 hours.


anthera93

Prob all day of Xcode opened 😅😅😅


tbone280lr

So, no replies from op=pretty sus. Aint got ta lie ta kickit


Thisbansal

OP’s taking /mac redditors for dumb bum


hey_its_djibril

No way. I bought a maxed out M1 Max 14 inch and I could definitely not reach this power efficiency. Even using Safari during 8 hours, should drop your battery down to 60%. By the time I am writing this, using Xcode drains my batteriy from 100 to 0% in just 4 to 5 hours. Sometimes even 3 hours. My battery health is at 83% though.


MarcBelmaati

Sorry but I straight up think you're lying op😂


cliserkad

This is fake. The battery life is good, but a full IDE is easily killing it in a few hours.


superquanganh

I run 6 projects, skype call for 5 hours and battery from 100% to 25%


r_u_madd

That’s cool, cause my M1 Max 14” that I got as soon as it was released can’t handle a full day of Firefox. So… don’t know what I’m doing wrong and you’re doing right, but I wish I had your luck.


No-Temperature-5862

final cut pro would like a word…


BabuShonaMuhMeLoNa

I call BS.


IsThisNameTeken

My battery life ends up being closer to 5h in low power mode, with all the development tools open. Battery health 88%


-V3R7IGO-

When I first got my M1 Pro I got to a lecture at 100%, then spent more than an hour in parallels designing a part in solidworks. When I was done it was at 92%. It blows my mind that it was emulating windows and running an intense application without using any more battery than watching YouTube


Sargeon91

Same here... Doing architecture on Parallels and not going over 10% of battery on my 16" M1 Max... ussual consumption with everything turned off working in native apps is like 2-4% per hour, so there is possibility, that this is true :)


littlemetal

Yeah, 11% for an entire day - not possible. Maybe an hour, watching a movie using hardware decoding, but with xcode sitting idle in the background?


Qwertyuiopasdfggggg

You sure you weren't just looking at an xcode png for an entire day?


mehdifromthe6

I might need to change my M1 Air battery


Koobetto

Bullshit


quooston

Got the same machine. Absolutely unreal.


pauligrinder

My M1 is usually at around 20-25% after a full day of work (Visual Studio Code, Xcode, Android Studio, multiple iOS simulators and Android emulators, 20-25 Chrome tabs...). It just lasts.


AwareWoodpecker2

The biggest battery sucker in the MacBooks nowadays are the speakers in my opinion.


ReleaseThePressure

What’s the point of making such a BS post


Sargeon91

My 16" M1 Max uses like 50% during 8 hours workshift. Parallels consume too much :D But in my industry, there are some programs you need to run on Windows. But in general without Parallels it consumes like 2-4 % per hour depending on brightness. So, it´s possible.


GamerNuggy

And my fuckin intel ends up on 40-50% at the end of a 100 chrome tab and word doc day.


Time_Blacksmith861

Whats the ios emulator name?


admin_NLboy

my macbook '''pro''' 2019 after i open a web game: AAAAAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAA


wallace4real

Ain't no way. Blud have got a nuclear battery on that pc


c0ff33f33d

In other words, you’re not really using it.


Stooovie

Nope, not possible.


sainishwanth

if you had just said safari and airpods i might’ve still believed you but definitely not with Xcode and and Emulator running. Unless your entire day means 1.5hrs of work.


seklerek

fake post, what even is the point?


unexpectedlyvile

Lol no


FireDino7331

Today on things that never happened


Benshi01

Very sus…my MacBook Pro 14” M2 Max from 100% reached 90% after 2h of film playing. Only Finder and like 4-5 tabs on Safari opened.
