A new version of MacOS Sierra 10.12.2 just arrived at the Mac App Store in which the latest MacOS update was made. The Apple company removes the 'time remaining' feature that assesses battery life appearing upon clicking on the battery icon in the status bar of the MacBook.

As per the TechCrunch, many issues with the MacBook Pro computers are being addressed as Apple is tossing up an update to MacOS Sierra.

The update will settle problems, including the graphics issues on the 2016 MacBook Pro computers. It will also give feedback on the documented battery life complaints on these gadgets.

Apple noted that the "time remaining" display was not precise as an indication of battery life left. For this reason, the company will be pulling out the "time remaining" signal from the menu bar drop-down.

Many users of the new 2016 MacBook Pros were in chaos over the battery life estimates 9to5Mac reported. According to some complaints, the "time remaining" in the MacOS battery status menu is below the actual battery life. However, there was an obvious misunderstanding regarding how the features functioned.

Apple guarantees a limit of about 10 hours of use with the latest laptops, but numerous observers find it difficult to repeat the battery behavior.

Editor Jake Kastrenakes is greatly burdened in acquiring the 13-inch version to routinely eclipse six hours of battery survival. With this, Apple dispatched another MacBook Pro in assurances that there was a problem with the initial released items but there wasn't.

Apple insisted that the battery percentage is precise. It was that, users widely utilize the computer, therefore the "time remaining" display couldn't be exactly maintained with what users were doing.

Any manner of using the MacBook gives an impact on the accuracy of a battery indicator. Therefore, it is best not to rely on the "time remaining" feature of the MacBook Pro.
