Tahoe kills your battery faster

Those bars don't scream "kills your battery". Certainly not ideal, but no need for melodrama.

2020 M1 MBP here, didn't notice any difference. Tahoe has been great. Maybe it does decrease my battery life, but if it does, I didn't notice it at all.

seems as good as it ever was here 👍

Eh… losing an hour of battery life on the M1 or M2 Air is meaningful if you tend to push those machines under Sequoia. The M3 result is weird and I'm not well read enough on the differences between the M1/M2 vs M3 to even guess as to why.

Doesn't matter to me, I use my laptop on battery only occasionally, but just because it doesn’t seem like a big deal to me doesn’t mean others won’t feel the difference.

Upgraded. Turned my M3 MBP 14" to a windows machine - battery draining fast and the machine heats up like crazy. Backed down to Sequoia after 3-4 days. I was hoping that once indexing finishes, things would settle down, but no such luck.

am not getting less noticeable time on my battery; it's certainly better than the very-first OS26 betas. just my experience here, of course...

it's costly to render those refraction i guess.

All OS 26s are eating battery faster.
I had noticeable battery drop on all my devices: MBP (M1 Max & M2Pro), iPad Pro M2 and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
It is not the end of the world but really annoying.
