I did NOT watch the keynote but I read the website. They’re advertising performance improvements.

Historically, when they’ve done so, it has been true, but it has never come in hand with battery life improvements; in fact, just the opposite. They’ve been able to do one OR the other.

Let’s see if 27 doesn’t obliterate battery life further.

Honestly… I have a certain degree of confidence in Apple’s performance claims. When they say it’s better like this, it’s typically true. Battery life can go from similar to 26 to absolutely obliterated. We’ll see.
