As per the report by Wccftech, Apple's MacBook Pro lineup sports an even more efficient battery performance since its first introduction than Apple Silicon, which replaced the Intel chip inside it.
Although the battery of the latest MacBook Pro models out there impressively holds power for ample amounts of time, those using these machines as their daily workhorse would still welcome an extended life.
That said, some content creators or other professionals are still looking into maximizing the power of their MacBooks.
Not to mention that those who might have left their chargers at home would also appreciate an extended battery life, which in that case, another hour or two could be critically helpful.

Thankfully, Apple has introduced a new option to further extend the battery life of your MacBook on macOS Monterey.
According to the description of Apple, the low power mode essentially extends the battery life of a MacBook as it "manages energy-intensive apps and processing."
On top of that, the Cupertino giant said that the battery saving option also "directs power where you need it to get the most out of your battery."
