Battery isn't as good as the iPad 1, but...

[philosopherdog]

My partner and I were both on iPad 1's and we're definitely noticing the battery isn't quite as good on the new one. But it's not a huge problem. I was always blown away by the iPad 1's battery power. I'm loving the speed, screen, sound, and size of this new machine coming from the iPad 1. I can't see my air's screen after looking at this thing.

Hmm I don't know it seems the same if not a little better to me.

I still have the original ipad and they last the same... Charging is longer on the new iPad!

My iPad 1 has seen a lot of use- the new iPad definitely lasts longer. A lot depends on how many cycles the battery has been through.
