Consumer Report Will Reevaluate MacBook Pro’s Inconsistent Battery Life; Giving another Chance after Apple Fixes a Bug That Led to Battery Issues
Ralphy Bonn SimThe Consumer Repost Publication will grant Apple's MacBook Pro another chance to prove that their product will go up against other devices in terms of battery life consistency.
The proven product testing publication Consumer Reports stated that they can't endorse Apple's MacBook Pro devices considering its inconsistent battery life issues. Recently, the 13-inch MacBook Pro was tested and evaluated only to find out that the battery that was expected to run for 16 hours went down to less than four hours.
Recently, Apple stated that they figured out the reason of the said battery issue and reveals the explanation why MacBook Pro didn't met the standard expected battery life that was tested by Consumer Reports; it is caused by a bug issue that was used by the publisher during the evaluation.
Consumer Reports operates a developer mode in Safari that was cut off the browser cache causing the battery to be consumed faster than usual. The developer mode also consists of an unknown bug that was recently fixed by Apple.
Apple stated last Tuesday that they have already fixed the developer bug; acknowledging their time to work with Consumer Reports during holiday season just to figure out the battery test result. Apple also learned during the examination that Consumer Reports used a covered Safari setting to developed websites that turned off the browser cache. Consumer Reports developer also used a setting that brought a bug reloading icons which is the cause of the inconsistent lab results.
Apple also added that they requested Consumer Reports to execute the same test applying normal user settings, to demonstrate MacBook Pro's expected battery life. They also thanked Consumer Reports and respected them for retesting their findings on MacBook Pro.
"Once our reevaluation of the MacBook Pro's batteries is done, we will report back with our latest findings and update," said Consumer Reports in an updated website blog.
