iPad Pro 12.9” Battery Life

[Trodolak]

I know we’ve only had our new 12.9” iPad pros for 24+ hours but how’s your battery life so far?

Hard to say, there is a lot of indexing that goes on when it is first set up. Also, you end to use it more when you first get it. But I’m at 72% half way through my day, so not bad so far.

Been off charge for 15 hours today. At 31%. Battery settings says I have 7 hours screen on time.

Solid so far, but the battery is brand new. You need 6 months......

Last night I started watching a 2 hour streamed movie at 100% and when it was over I was at 92%.
I thought that was pretty good.

Yesterday I had 15 hrs of screen on time (mostly Ulysses and Bookends, some emailing and browsing too) and I still had 16% battery left at the end. Really impressed.

Just stay away from anything made by google and games and you’ll have great battery life! ;-)

Amazing battery life like almost any other iPad I had. Could probably reach 15 hours of movie watching and web browsing. I wish iPhones and MacBooks had this kind of battery life.

Using mine a fair bit and charging it every 2 days

If only the phone was like this…

It is with the Xr

I bet. Hopefully they improve the battery on the flag ships. As close to 4000mah as they can get. Tech should allow for 2 full days between charges in my opinion. Idc if the phone ended up being a bit thicker.

I have had no problems at all with the battery life on my 3rd gen 12.9” iPad Pro. As others have stated I wish my iPhone did as good, although it is not that bad, it’s just not as good.

I’m noticing the new 12.9 drains a bit faster than my old 10.5 but it’s not a big deal. I’m always near a charger and it lasts at least 8+ hours of continuous usage of browsing, light gaming and media consumption. It certainly is better than my iPhone Xs Max, which is to be expected (not saying max is bad, it’s good... iPad just lasts longer).
