Q: Reduced battery life with July updates?

Am I alone with reduced battery life with July software updates? My MB 12 has the OS including iTunes updates from July and other other updates are Evernote and Remote Desktop. My Evernote settings should minimize battery use - no "context" and less sync.

 

My Retina 15 with same updates behaves as always. My relatively new MB 12 that was getting me through a work day with battery to spare seems to burn it down an easy 25% or more faster.

 

I've done a restart, disk first aid, looked at power settings. I know there were Adobe Flash updates but I don't leave www site tabs open that could hurt battery life. Of course I can spend similar amounts of time on sites using it so that's one thing I suspect.

 

Same Dropbox and Office 365 versions run between the MB 12 and Retina 15.

 

I'd be curious to know of others with same hardware and similar software have noticed this.

 

Thank you.
