Hi, so I’ve had my lovely new 11” iPad Pro for about 2 weeks now. I have noticed the battery life isn’t as good as I hoped, now I did restore it from a backup rather then set it up as new. But I wanted to check before I wipe it and do that if the battery life set normal. Looking at this screenshot taken today it’s mostly been used for a game, You Tube and Safari browsing but doesn’t seem very good?

Is this ok or should I be expecting more?
Also of I wipe it to setup as new, how can I restore my Safari shortcuts I have saved on the home screen?

Why is Maps running in the background? Don’t use it very often?

Just a thought, starting charge was just 75%. 6h 49m (~7 hours) onscreen time for 70% battery use sounds pretty par for the course.

Ah yes I missed that, I'll have to see if I can run it down in a 24hr period from full charge. Thanks for pointing it out.

Also get use content blocker for Safari. This MR site is horrible on battery without a blocker.

Thanks, I se one Crystal already. Today so far I’ve got 9hrs 4mins screen on time with 18% left so I think it’s alright now.
