People should understand that battery life is subjective, but they don't.

Ive already posted up an article on this:

http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analy...rt-352108.html

The bigger problem here is that Apple is officially claiming less battery life than their 2015 MacBook Pro (12 hours of video playback), which uses the same CPU architecture used in the current MacBook Pros.
Apple have made mugs of eegits like Jack for years, they have people like him in the palm of their hand and if they say hold a phone between your legs to get best coverage, then that is what you need to do....

Likewise, if an Apple day has 10 hours, well then that is what all calendars should be set to.

Apple controls fanboys with alarming ease in how they make decisions or judgement. To hardcore fanboys there are no competion, it begins and ends with the mighty Apple.
