I primarily use my IPP as a second display to watch media while working at my desk. I pulled up a Twitch stream in Safari to see how long the battery would last from a full charge. I wanted to simulate my real world use conditions so here were the details:

Environment - my office has a little sun but the test went from dawn to dusk so with auto brightness it was between 30-60% the whole time.

Accessories - it’s on a MKB but it wasn’t being used so very little drain from the backlight. At least there wasn’t any phantom drain which happened when the original MKB was released.

Apps - you can see from the screenshot what was being used. I watch Twitch in Safari but I have Twitch set to dark mode the entire time.

As you can see I got approx 12hr 30min just running Twitch in Safari on dark mode. Obviously it’s not a day in the life but I know with my miniLED/LCD iPads that wasn’t even possible as most maxed out at 10hrs if you were lucky.

10 hours on Safari is amazing. I'm curious if we'd get the same 10 hours if used the Twitch App instead.

🤔
