Hi all
Recently picked up a 2nd hand iPad mini 4. This thing drains battery in use by quite a bit. I'd say 3 mins per 1% of simple Wi-Fi browsing on news websites, nothing heavy like videos etc. All the reviews I've read say that the Mini 4 gets 10 hours of web usage. I'll be lucky to get around 5 hours with that sort of percentage per minute drop.
Furthermore, streaming a simple 720p looped video on youtube, it loses around 25% for 1.5 hours, meaning only 6 hours of usage, whereas the Anandtech review was able to get almost 11 hours of a 720p streamed video.
Is there anything else I should be doing to ensure better battery life? I'm on 50% brightness with Wifi on. One iCloud account, nothing else on there.
Thanks
