| + | [* black] The battery's form factor seems 100% identical to the multi-lobed cell we found in the 2015 Macbook. |
| [* black] And yet somehow... a battery spec bump! | |
| [* black] Apple managed to squeeze in a 4% capacity increase from the 7.55 V, 39.71 Wh battery in [guide|39841|last year's model|stepid=89847|new_window=true]. Apple claims this new 7.56 V, 41.41 Wh Li-ion cell should provide up to 11 hours of iTunes movie playback. | |
| [* icon_note] We're guessing this capacity increase is owed to improved battery chemistry, but it's possible that Apple's engineers have shaved away just enough material from the lower case to allow for a thicker battery. |
