I have the 13" and mine is fine as well. It's pointless to post that here because the anti-Mac trolls on this forum dont care about reality. They just want to bash Apple.
Got a tip for us?

Good on them for correcting the report, but even better is knowing their publication influences so many buyers they may have wanted to work with Apple for a week or two to get the the bottom of it.
But it's still hard to feel sorry for Apple since it was a bug in their in house browser that caused the issue, and all the expensive laptops they sold were susceptible to the defect until the bug was corrected.

Omg. .Stop it. Someone got a check. No "fix".. Still 3-4hrs at best. Unreal.

NAILED IT. I could not say it better! ^^^^^^
Unfortunately no one's gonna post about this on mainstream media. If Apple fails at something, everyone starts the presses up. If the story is changed, no one talks about it
So many people that know I'm a fanboy sent me the link to the CR story about Apple failing.

So Apple's software fix is also known as a wire transfer.
Great it's been fixed, VERY BAD THEY ONLY BITHERED TI FIX THEIR BUGGY SOFTWARE AFTER THE AMERICAN CONSUMER REPORTS HIGHOGHTED THE ISSUE!
Yes I did shout. But Apple tends to only acknowledge or fix things these days when it's publically proven by court cases or renowned independent bodies.

No bug or not...they run three tests with wildly variable results and have the gall to report it as science. Actually in most of their tests the battery life FAR exceeded Apple's statements but they chose to report the bad.
My degree is in Chemistry and I have done research and if I had even attempted to run tests like they did and report it as science I would have been flunked. They want attention and this was a good way to get it.
COOL ... when CR reached out to Apple, what was Phil the Shill's response "if anyone is having a problem they should contact AppleCare" ... the YOKE is all over Phil and his cronies at Apple.
What? No way. It's clearly all in your head, just like the performance and usage of my machine is entirely a product of my imagination. Either that or you're not a "Pro" so you can't possibly understand, just like I can't.
We all know Schiller slipped a wad of bills into someone's hands, right? I mean, what else could possibly explain this. (Other than, you know, what was actually reported.)
Mine's running okay. I average around 7-8 hours during normal work (coding, running servers, web browsing, music streaming, a few web apps, etc.). I don't think anything I do murders the processor or tests the limits of the computer, but I'm basically never in a situation where that's not enough battery life.
This is a confusing article stating an "average of 18.75 hours" with no clarification of usage.
I'd imaging people editing video and pictures or any other intensive programs will see nothing like 18 hours.
BRAVO Consumer Reports ... great that you finally exposed Apple's arrogance ... "you're not testing it right" ... ONLY to find out that Apple had another buggy operating system in the wild.

If using a repeatable process to test similar but not the same products would cause you to flunk, then I would suggest the problem lies with your school and not the experiment.
It does not matter if they go into Safari and change a setting, so long as they go into every browser on every machine they test and make the same change. That's what makes the test worthwhile. It isn't Consumer Reports' responsibility to make sure that Apple gives them bug free software before running their tests.
wow.
Can't believe CR caved and retested.
You can do all the retests in the world and spin your PR till the cows come home, Apple. It's not going to change the fact that the new MacBook 'Pro' is a turd. Polish it all you want. It's still a turd.
If Apple had put 1/2 the effort they did in designing new emoji's into developing these new machines perhaps we'd have a better product.

CR has now become a beta-tester for Apple. I was in the market for a MBP, however these models just don't cut it, plus the price increase does not justify value for money.
Apple: Innovative TouchBar
Consumer: Huh, no touchscreen
Apple: TouchBar is better
Consumer: If you say so Apple
Apple: Good, they bought our BS innovation reason
Consumer: Best laptop Apple has made to date

Except Apple doesn't design emoji's (Unicode does), so your attempt at sounding like you know what you're talking about has come up short.
