Of course. The MPG indicator in your car will change if you start flooring your accelerator. That doesn't mean you get rid of it.

The reality is the new MBP w/Touchbar have worse battery life than the previous generation and people called them out on it. Instead of owning it they have chosen to remove the indicator, a useful tool for many of their users.

Apple truly has lost their way.

actually the MPG-style indicator would be more appropriate in this case i think. they're similar but aren't they different?

one shows rate and the other shows the amount of gas left? it might be accurate to change it from "time remaining" to watts per hour or something idk.
