Apple's new MacBook Pro models feature longer battery life thanks to the efficiency enhancements of the M4 family of chips, with some models and configurations reaching up to 24 hours—the longest ever offered in a Mac.
The biggest improvements come to models configured with either the M4 or M4 Pro chip, with M4 Max models seeing either the same or slightly worse battery life than their predecessors. The battery life of the latest MacBook Pro models compared to models from the past three years are listed below:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | 21 hours | 22 hours | 22 hours | 24 hours |
| Max | 21 hours | 22 hours | 22 hours | 21 hours |
13- and 14-Inch MacBook Pro Battery Life
| M1 (2020–2021) | M2 (2022) | M3 (2023) | M4 (2024) | |
