I wish they'd fix the slow glitchy beachball that is Safari. Uses so much energy.
Got a tip for us?

Similar issue with app updates. So many simply say "Bug Fixes". So, what were the bugs?Graphics driver updates, for sure.
Finder version 10.12.2?
New version with bug fixes for Mail.app?
Etc.
Haven't tried the 10.12.2 betas, so just guessing about Finder and Mail, but should be pretty easy for someone to compare with what the versions are in macOS 10.12.1.
But why Apple doesn't provide more detailed changes is a bit sad I think. Maybe they don't think it's worth the time it takes to list it all. Better to just fix the problems and move on.
You didn't use an emoji in your response. How am I to understand what your tone is? Do you think I have time to read full words for goodness sake?!?!
The big question is...any improvement regarding battery life of new MBP with TB?!
Yeah should be more like the logic x update notes, those show almost all fixes
No, it makes it worse, my percentage is dropping by the minute, and the watt usage has increased about 30-40% for the same tasks

Quite interesting and revealing if true...
They finally solved the problem of poor battery life on the new rMBP.
Now you don't know how many hours remain...

I updated at it drastically improved the battery life issues I was having on my 15inch MBP 2016. I was getting an average of 2-3 hours. That seems to have beed addressed with this new update v6.
interesting, few people including myself are having opposite experience. I have gone from 46% to 38% in 12 minutes
Writing a stale, overused complaint probably is more innovative than Apple has been lately.

You still can check in Activity Monitor...
Yeah, at least maybe provide a web link with more info on the changes?
Yup. Or like the Safari Tech Preview Release Notes:
https://developer.apple.com/safari/technology-preview/release-notes/
v5 was killing me. Another forum recommended I reinstall MacOS in recovery mode. That didn't work seemed to get worse then I updated to v5 and then v6 back to back and it resolved my issues I'm on my second machine because these problems were even worse on my first unit. I have been sitting at 99-98% for 34 minutes. I have the 2.9 Radeon 460 unit.
As someone else said, there is hope that this is changing with different software versions which means hopefully it can be fixed with software
That's assuming that Apple (externally) provides such release notes that list changes between betas.
This is 4 times better performance then I was getting and actually the estimate keeps going up

One other point to note I also upgraded to the Microsoft office fast insider version. Word and Outlook were consuming a lot of power too

It seemed to do the trick. Hope that works for all
I think you maby have defective gpu, because most have only login glitches that disapear automatic, yours seem to be all the time, until full restart.
You should send email to that craig dude and say they havent fixed it..
I have a daily update with Apple on my issue(s) and they're updated and sent links to the videos before I even post them here.
Almost as old as the current Macs,..... almost.
