That is good news! But I still think apple should test more before making a release. Such abnormal power consumption is a big issue. Unfortunately, all software vendors are doing the same nowadays!

Apple should cease trying to reinvent OS X every 12 months, and focus on getting the OS working 100% across their hardware, I don't want new toys I want the OS to work without issue first, then add additional functionality. It`s ridiculous the number of users who have issue with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and now power drain.

10.11 is a step in the right direction, ultimately OS X is not free as the cost is "baked" into every Mac, either Apple is waking up to it`s customers or are now concerned about sales with Microsoft`s Windows 10 looming. As many switched to Apple as there was no rational alternative to Windows 8, W10 changes this paradigm.

FWIW I have had no issue with my Mac`s equally so many others have, nor do they come across as not knowing what they are doing.

Q-6

Any approximate date when will 10.10.5 be officially released? This battery drain issue is also happening to my macbook 2015. Thank you.

I installed El Capitan beta 3 instead 10.10.5 beta. The heating problem seems also to be solved, my mb pro gets just a little warm instead hot before, and battery consumption seems to slow down by about 30-40%. Other performance gain is not significant, but it doesn't belong to the topic here.

By turning off wifi, I found out that the battery drains at a much lower rate while my mac is on the sleep mode.
