Core i7 Haswell's - Significantly Less Battery Life Than The Core i5's?

Is anyone with a Core i7 macbook air, new one with the Haswell processors, seeing less battery life than the same system with a Core i5?
Long story short, I started out with the Core i5 and 4gb ram (store bought) and decided after a week to go with 8gb ram and figured I'd up the CPU to the i7 as well and ordered from Apple.com.
The original Core i5 REALLY WAS getting upwards of 12 hours on battery; this Core i7 is more around 6+ hours. I took it to my local Apple store, they tested it out, showed everything hardware wise was fine and suggested reloading to factory...Done (nothing installed/change from factory; NOTHING)...Same issue...
I know, and expected, to get less battery life with the Core i7, but almost 50% less? ***?
Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks!
Scott

Several have reported same, contrary to vociferous statements by others to the contrary, since the I7 idles at a low power consumption, and bursts data quicker than the I5
You are not supposed to be getting that, if as you say you have NOTHING installed at all, just factory. However that rating is for minor web surfing and word processing etc.
More important than longer batt. life to me are these stats. Id return it and get your orignal I5 13" ..but get 8gig of ram.
Geekbench: i5: 5868, i7: 6287 (+7%)
Handbrake: i5: 12min12s, i7:12min5s (-1%)
Cinebench: i5: 11.13fps, i7:11.54fps (+4%)
iMovie: i5: 5min1s, i7: 4min56s (-2%)
PhotoShop: i5: 68.7s, i7:57.4s (-17%) <<<<only "real" improvement area of the I7
Final cut: i5: 2min7s, i7: 2min 4s (-2%)
But your I7 experience is not supposed to be normal however,.....despite many others reporting same.
Love my new macbook Air, ....sounds like you loved your original I5 13" , .....seems youve come full circle.

Which video resolution uses less battery life?

I got an 80GB iPod about a month ago. All of my videos are converted in 320x240 H.264 resolution. I was thinking of re-converting to 640x480 for better TV output, but what effect will it have with the battery life when it is displayed on the screen? I assume that 320x240 will give better battery life since it has a smaller file size, hence it will not need to fill the cache as often, but maybe Apple rates battery life with 640x480 resolution?
Thanks in advance!

your ipod video is only capable of using the lower resolution and it does not matter or use more or less battery life. When you are playing on the tv, your screen is off and it will use the same bat life no matter what the resolution

When will you fix battery issues on ios 5.1.1? I have the same settings but 85% less battery life!!!

I have read many tips about what to do for increasing battery life. However
I hav the same setting with ios 5.1.1 that I was using with the previous
version (ios 5.1) but with 85% less battery life time. It is so frustrating because this
issue come back every 2 update : one killing your battery and the second
to fix this, and it starts again... I am really sick of this.
I am using an iPhone 4.

Hi All – I have also experienced the battery drain issue on upgrade to 5.1.1.
Like many on the forum I have tried ALL suggestions to resolve this issue, none of them have resolved the problem that Apple owners seem to be experiencing, it’s not in our minds as some suggest. My iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS are working a treat under 5.1.1, in fact I believe the 3GS is running better than under 4.3.x.
However I do think I have tracked the problem down, which I will document here, but first a list of the things I’ve tried:
- Fully discharge battery to <5% and then back to 100% and leave charging for 3 hours after
- Turn off all notifications
- Turn off all location services
- Turn down brightness
- Turn off ALL iCloud services (effectively delete the account)
- Reconfigure email account to ‘MANUAL Fetch’ only
- Factory restore to fresh 5.1.1 from within iTunes and then restore from back-up
The only thing that stops the battery discharging at around 5% every 8 hours is turning off Wi-Fi during standby mode. Prior to 5.1.1 the iPad would drain maybe 1% every 24 hours in standby mode with Wi-Fi on.
Puzzled by this I did some research to understand what the iPad is doing whilst in standby mode with Wi-Fi on, so below is a trace from the iPad system log so that hopefully someone can look at this , identify the issue and hopefully fix it in a future ios 5.1.x release:

These repeating messages appear approx every 30 seconds the wakeup packet contains the MAC addresses for my router and iPad, so one of them is misbehaving. This may be to do with how these have been implemented:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_Proxy_Service
Either way I believe this is the source of the power drain issue whilst in standby with Wi-Fi turned on, perhaps this could be a router issue and that is why the issue not hitting everyone post 5.1.1?
All the best.

Is it any differences in battery life between the different processors (MBPr late 2013)?

Is it any differences in battery life between the 2,4GHz i5, the 2,6GHz i5 and the 2,8GHz i7?
I'm planing on buying a macbook pro 13" but I'm a little bit uncertain which processor I should chose. I want as much power as possibly but if it's any significent battery diffrences, then I would chose battery over power. I've read that there is about 45 min diffrence between the 2,3GHz and the 2,6GHz in the 15".

I imagine that there are but since Apple makes no such distinctions, I suspect that the differences are not that great. I have not seen any reports or studies to that effect.
If battery life is of paramount importance to you, consider a Macbook Air. The advertised battery run times are significantly longer than the Macbook Pro.
Ciao.

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life on the iphone5. Have the phones always been this way? Is there anything in the works to improve the battery life?

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life of the iphone 5. Is this the norm for iphones? Are they working on a fix to this problem? Almost wishing I had bought something else.

Without knowing what battery life you are seeing we can't determine if you have a problem. Have you compared your usage to the Technical Specifications?
Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Under normal use, unless there's a problem with your phone, battery life is comparable to any other smart phone and better than some. If you've never owned a smart phone before you will be disappointed with the battery life on all smart phones. You should expect to charge any of them daily. It's a mistake to think of it as a phone at all; it's a very powerful pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls.

I've just upgraded to the Iphone update and now battery life of the poor is very poor (3 hours). Is there anything I can do to fix this?

My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger. However, when it's on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?

Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

Battery life. The elephant in the room or is it just me?

So the trade-off against integrating the antenna into the case (at such cost) was to make room for a bigger battery, so we could enjoy longer battery life between charges on our shiny new iPhone 4s. Really? My 3G was nearly two years old when I traded up to the iP4, yet its battery discharged at a far slower rate than the 4's battery from out of the box. Is mine just fitted with a battery that came off the production line on Friday afternoon, or am I expecting too much from the new model given its enhanced capability (as compared to the 3G and bearing in mind I skipped the 3GS), which must be expected to consume more power? Whatever, I am disappointed by the battery life of the iPhone 4, yet surprised to read no mention of any battery issues in these posts, especially as battery life was supposed to be one of its selling points. The reviews also seem to confirm an improvement in battery life that just doesn't square with my own experience. Anybody got a view?

I'm surprised my battery is doing well although I have replaced my iphone for the 2nd time. But here is the result from the first replacement:
[IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/kwopau/photo-7.png[/IMG]
comparing to what others have posted, similar stats but seems like mine only goes for 5 hours at tops or a bit over. So i took it to the genius bar, and this is why they replaced my iphone for the 2nd time.
Here is what I do with my iphone 4,
Basically I unplug it at exactly at 7 am, through out the day, I only check my phone every hour. Do some textings, check 2-3 apps every hour. of course i get phone calls in the morning and at night so during the day it's not a problem. From the time my phone is in sleep mode, and the time I wake it up, sometimes it stays, but sometimes I lose 1%, but then the moment I text or check few apps, I lose 2% more, which is fine i guess as the apps does eats small amount.
As seen on my stats, I can only get 5 hours of usage somehow. Even though the standby stats says 1 day 14 hours.
As for my 2nd replacement, even if it has similar stats (still on first charge so I have to drain it to calibrate the accuracty). I'll probably just keep this one, as long as the phone last the entire day is fine with me.

To many different suggestions as to battery life of the MacPro. Is there one way to keep your battery life, do I keep it plugged in to AC or do I not?

To many different suggestions as to battery life of the MacPro. Is there one way to keep your battery life, do I keep it plugged in to AC or do I not?

To be honest, I would only plug it in when necessary. On my older 2009 MBP, I plug it in at night and it lasts me a solid 5-6 hours, if it needs to be plugged in during the day, I usually do it with about 2-3 hours left.

Significantly worse battery life on Mavericks

I posted this oringally in another thread and was recommended to start a new one.
I have a mid 2012 mbp and upgraded to mavericks the day it was released from ML.
Since then my battery life has been absolutely horrendous. Get around ~2 hours or so on one charge... Pretty dissapointed. I am super busy so I do not have time or energy to format and reinstall mountain lion until christmas time.
Any advice would be great. I went into terminal and disabled indexing following this guide as recommended in another post:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/stopspotlightindex.html
Still nothing. Activity monitor does not show anything significant running in the background either.
I am pretty upset/****** off as the only benefical thing to me in the OS (of all the new features) was apples claims of increased battery life lol.... that didnt really work out.
Anyways here are my specs:
Model Name:
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro9,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:
2.6 GHz
Number of Processors:
1
Total Number of Cores:
4
L2 Cache (per Core):
256 KB
L3 Cache:
6 MB
Memory:
8 GB
Let me know if anyone needs any additional specs or anything. I have a 1TB hdd installed as well.

The other thread has degenerated into a predictable and unproductive rant-fest that won't help anyone.
Check your Activity Monitor to determine the relative "Energy Impact" of various apps as in the following:
One or more may be obvious, or not.
Some users have reported an SMC reset to be beneficial. Read SMC reset.
Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem unimportant or trivial.

Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

My Iphone 4S has far less battery life since before I downloaded IOS 7.1, Is there a bug in this IOS that wears the battery down faster?

Since I downloaded IOS 7.1 my phone (4S) battery won't last more than eight hours and takes three or four hours to charge. There must be a bug in this IOS that affects battery life.

Concerning battery life until it has been discharged fully and charged fully over several cycles it will not deliver maximum capacity.
As a Series 30 device designed for emerging markets neither ability to connect to PC or software upgrade is a priority; music can always be dragged onto microSD.

Has anyone noticed a big drop in battery life from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4s?

In the 36 hours that I've had the iPhone 4s, the battery life is much worse than the iPhone 4. I'd like to hear if anyone else has experienced this as well.

iOS5 has removed the option to turn off just the 3G and have only 2G/Edge and WiFi. I used to do that routinely because I got much more reliable cell coverage in hilly San Francisco and it extended battery life between charges significantly. I only turned on 3G if I wanted to use the web while I was away from wifi or while on a call. The fact they removed this choice seems to have caught both Apple and AT&T staff by total surprise.
This is a problem in the UK as well as in the US and it isn't not carrier specific. It seems to be part of the iOS 5. I most certainly had it with my iPhone 4 and with iOS 4xx.
While the phone will revert to 2G if it thinks it needs to, that isn't good enough. I can't go a whole day (even half a day!) even on mostly standby. I've taken to turning off WiFi when I'm away from it because I can't turn off the 3G. I realize Siri won't work on 2G and maybe that is what has driven it-Apple's special, incredible new feature but if my phone has a dead battery it won't matter anyway.
Spread the news. Complain. We need to get this option back!

Does new 30 GB iPod have longer battery life than original 5th gen 30

The claim from Apple is that the new 30 GB iPod has a brighter screen and that the battery life during video playback is 3.5 hours. The original 5th generation 30 GB ipod only claimed to have 2 hour battery life during video playback. Does anyone know if the new 30 GB iPod actually has a better battery or a more efficieant screen than the original or if these claims are only a result of the new iPod bios (version 1.2) which gives you a brightness control. Is a new 30 GB iPod better than a original 5th gen 30 GB iPod which has been updated to v 1.2?
AMD64 Windows XP Pro 5th Gen 60 GB iPod Video

Let me first not say Ha ha but The fourth Gen photo people said the same thing about when the fifth gen came out and we all complained. Also now that gapless playback has come out we all complained. So all I have to say is that at least you got the quick letter thing when you scroll and the games as well as gapless where we got nothing. I have owned an Ipod since the first gen and let me say I am supprised that apple even gave you guys some update. For all of your complaining, get in line.
