Apple was surprised with M1 MacBook's battery life at first, thought the indicator was broken

Apple's recent transition to M1 chipsets for its MacBook lineup might have been founded on the pursuit of better performance. However, that is not the only metric that the chipset improved upon.

Apple released its first-ever M1 powered MacBook in November last year, marking a transition from the Intel-based chipsets that previously backed the Mac offerings. The company claimed a phenomenal performance improvement over the predecessor, though there is one metric that might not have gained as much publicity as it deserves. Other than the boosted performance, the new M1 powered Mac lineup boasts of a much-enhanced battery backup than what was seen earlier on Mac offerings. An Apple senior executive recently mentioned how this improvement managed to fool them during testing of the devices.
