I'd wager it's going to be similar to current levels. The past few Apple refreshes didn't change battery much (Macbook Pro actually dropped in battery life.)

Once battery is good enough, weight optimization is the next step. I bet these will be beyond ultra light.

It didn't really drop in battery life, it was just that Apple's testing protocol was revised to more accurately describe real-life usage.
