I have not charged my new iPad since its first charge. I am not sure if this is true for all iPads...

Please see the link below:

New iPad continues charging beyond 100%

Yes, I read it here with explanation from Apple, I think the battery technology is not so advanced - Apple could probably avoid making either Retina or 70% larger battery /both :p

Wow, there is so much uninformed journalism on these subjects lately. Completely ignore everything in that article.

Rest assured, the battery isn't charging beyond 100% of its capacity. The only important thing to know is that the battery percentage display takes a few charge cycles to calibrate. Apple may release an update eventually to make it more accurate. But really, a couple percentage points of inaccuracy is nothing to spend time thinking about.

And why are you any different than the "uninformed journalists"?
