According to recent revelations, the new MacBook Pro features significant updates across various areas, and the new series of M4 chips is closely related to the new additions. Apple’s press release on the new machines emphasizes that M4 MacBook Pro models have better battery life compared to their M3 counterparts. If the company’s claims are true, the M4 MacBook Pros have the longest battery life of any MacBook released so far.
The 24-hour battery life is the highest the company has ever claimed for any Mac, and while real-world usage may affect these numbers, it’s exciting to see these machines reach the all-day mark. The biggest improvement in battery life will be seen in the M4 and M4 Pro chips, while the M4 Max is expected to have a similar or slightly lower battery life. This is because the efficiency level remains consistent across all chips, but chips with greater processing power will consume more battery. The M4 MacBook Pro is expected to have a battery life of 24 hours, while the M4 Pro model will have a battery life of 22 hours. However, the M4 Max will have the lowest battery life of the group, at 18 hours. Although these figures are geared towards the latest models, Apple’s upcoming M5 chip could offer further refinements as it is expected to be built using TSMC’s 2nm process, which will enhance graphical and computational performance while being more energy efficient.
