MacBook Pro 2016 is selling like pancakes everywhere. But after several weeks in the market, its latest battery performance is earning backlash for poor performance in some test reviews, including unimpressed feedback from critics.

The battery of the MacBook Pro 2016 are compromised versions from the original plan. The downgrade happened when Apple was not able to finish the chassis design that will accommodate the higher capacity power source originally intended to run the MacBook Pro 2016, Digital Trends reported.

Apple has been left with no other choice but to use its previous square design to make it in time for the key testing. This step back on MacBook Pro 2016 battery life is now plagued by criticisms.

Much more, its prized laurel, the Touch Bar feature is reportedly the main reason why MacBook Pro 2016's battery life experiences the stretch. This new Touch Bar feature has been a huge disappointment considering its impact on the battery life, The Verge wrote.

Although the touch Bar is big yes when it comes to the trendy design and sleek appearance of the new Macbook Pro 2016, some reviews remain disappointed with its performance. In a video review made by Jake Kastrenakes, he praised the Touch Bar for simplifying tasks with buttons for shortcuts and other apps.

However, he noted some complicated options in the Touch Bar. One example appears in the build in Photo App. Upon using the healing brush, three sliders pop up that allowed him to make an adjustment with one hand. But somewhere in the process, it gets over than needed as he accidentally hit the wrong one.

The sliders are useful but not easier on the usual control. It makes things complicated. What makes it more complicated is the unpredictable behavior at times. It is no doubt that it functions well with Apple's build in apps, but shows some glitches with foreign apps.

How things turn out after MacBook Pro 2016 release remain uncertain. Surely, Apple will address these issues in no time.
