I have the same iPad chip. Do you feel any slowness in performance for daily tasks?
I can't really say I have. My apps still work, and appear to load and run as quickly as before. I speak as someone who uses his iPad for teaching in the classroom for hours on end, and in the very least, any possible performance degradation hasn't been seen or felt by me. So far, I have enabled display zoom to give me more viewing space (which has been pretty welcome). I have tried Stage Manager, but just can't seem to get the hang of it, so maybe I will wait till the weekend to play with it some more.
How many hours of screen-on time are you getting on your 3rd Gen 11-inch iPad Pro?
Thank you so much for the detailed review. I really appreciate it. I think I should too update my iPad to 16.1, currently on 15.7
That one was released with iOS 12. I have a 9.7-inch iPad Pro on iOS 12. Apple’s A9 activation bug on iOS 9 forced in out of iOS 9 into iOS 12 back in 2019. Battery life subsequently decreased from about 13-14 hours to barely scraping 9-10, sometimes even worse, like 8 hours.
yes, that's why i was planning to upgrade to a pro 2022 as soon as its available in my country. Battery wasn't great before ios 15 and of course that horrible white spot above the touch button (these ipads were affected by it).
Depends on usage, but if it is moderate, it’s a little lower than I’d expect. That said, I don’t know how you use it.
I don't think my battery life opinion will be useful, being my device 5 years old but i can tell you the clean ios 16 installation was more battery intensive this time. I went from 100% to 92% for the first time after downloading and installing 20 apps and setting up the ipad. Also i can feel the lag when seeing all the windows opened and scrolling through them.
It will be useful, because I have a 6-year-old 9.7-inch iPad Pro! Please, if and when you can, do let me know how many hours of screen-on time you’re getting and the general usage pattern, so I can get an idea. Thank you!
I have an iPad Pro from the same generation (but I have the 9.7-inch model). Can you share a screenshot of the “last 24 hours” battery screen on settings-battery please? Note that I’m not asking for Screen Time, but settings-Battery instead. Thank you!
I will, but I would have to disconnect it from the charger and let it sit for 24 hours and see what happens. This sits on my desk 99% of the time connected.
